    dunno if there classified as "fat guy" but aliengear makes a nice product and has a pretty good deal on a 2 holster combo. I have their iwb tuck 2.0. I also have an iwb from vedder holsters.

    I suppose it depends what you're looking for. ankle, iwb, own, belly band, etc.... most people I know who carry have a box of holsters the way FM's accessorize themselves with purses. and that's not an insult to them.

      I saw the aliengear and like it. I am 6'2" 360 lbs and the only problem I have is when I sit down and am jabbed by the grip

        What type of gun are you trying to carry? Are you carrying a spare mag? Where do you like to carry, appendix, 3'oclock, etc.

        Makes a difference.

        Are you located in OC?

          If not for CCW, get a drop leg or belt mount but with an offset. Bladetech makes a good offset and many folks do drop leg rigs.

            IWB? OWB? Gun Size? Might get you better answers. IWB, I prefer N82 Pro. Just bought my 2nd one. http://n82tactical.com/holster-options

                I am 5'10 and about 275 right now. I like the clip type IWB a lot but, I jsut purchased a Sticky holster from grantar2's wife's website. I've only had it two weeks but, I'm finding it much easier and more comfortable than any holster I've ever used for CCW before.

                  5'8", 250 lbs.
                  I like the Ramora with full sweat guard for my full-size PX4.
                  Carried at 2:00 is comfortable, conceals well, easy to draw with either hand, and easy to protect in case of a gun grab.
                  This is what works for me.

                    Get a vitamix and a gym membership. Seriously not trying to be rude. You can cut that weight.

                          One other questions how do you typically dress. Certain holsters work best with a untucked shirt, others with a tucked in shirt. Makes a difference.

                            Probably won't work for you but I like.

                            S&W 439, Bianchi 19L w/thumpsnap, with 1 1/8" leather belt cinched over boxer briefs and t-shirt below the beer gut, slide the shorts on I wear 70% of the time over, without belt. Pants don't fall down. Button shirt over.

                            Holster rotates just enough so if I get a pinch, adjust and eat. 3 o'clock
