Undergunned

Inspired from Tam.  She reached back to an older Sean post.

I noticed how nice XD full size pistols were to CCW from Newbius (RIP).  He carried the full size and it disappeared.  XDs are slightly better than fatty-fat-fat SIGs but still.  It's not a small pistol.  Worrying about hiding it in normal 3 season clothing isn't the issue, clearly.  I have other things that worry me

I generally carry a snub .357 with .38 in it.   I don't feel under gunned, but I would prefer to have more.  Than that.  I'm not so worried about printing as I am that thunk they make when you sit down at a wooden bench or chair at Denny's.  Even that is no biggee.

For me the real issue is comfort.  Until you get used to it a gun feels like wool church pants when you were 10.  Did that stuff seem EXTRA itchy and irritating to you?  Compounded by the fact you never got used to them because you only wear em once a week.  Same with me, in MD, and CCWing.  I have fewer opportunities to.  So the pocketed revolver is the go to.  I don't notice THAT too much.

And a full size IWB?  It's long enough to touch my sciatic nerve that bugs me back there...
