Take a look at this IWB. It's some what expensive; however I don't have a problem with chafing, jabbing or pinching. I have found it to be really comfortable!!

I'm a relatively skinny guy (5'9", 170lbs), which doesn't help any.
You've got about 25 lbs on me, I'm new to cc and still trying to find the right gun/ holster combo, nice to know I'm not the only one who is struggling with this.
I will carry my Sig 220 or Glock 21 at times, their size make it difficult though. If I don't carry one of those two I'll carry my Glock 23 and/or one of theseWhat do you guys carry in the summer? oh yea, for conceal carry that is
Here are some pictures I took. I tried to get different angles so you could get a better idea. I'm not too much bigger than you. Around 5'10/11", about 175-180. This is with shorts, and a undershirt type shirt. When I wear pants, it's not really any different. This is the same way I carry, year-round.I'd like to see (in detail) how people CC. I just cannot do it comfortably in the summertime even with a relatively small gun (like my PF9) IWB. If I don't have cloth between my skin and the holster (like a tucked shirt), I get jabbed and chafed like crazy, and in the summer it's too hot to wear two shirts. I bought a soft suede IWB holster for my PF9 that has a bit that comes up to the edge of the rear of the slide, which helps a little. It at least keeps the metal off my kidney. Then I can wear an untucked t-shirt over that.
At least in cooler weather, I can use a paddle holster and throw a shirt or coat over it, but even then anything larger than my XDsc prints like crazy. I'm a relatively skinny guy (5'9", 170lbs), which doesn't help any.
All of that I have taken into consideration. However, for me it is easier to conceal with a small of the back, as opposed to a side carry.Ri22o,
There is generally a lot of discouragement about small-of-the-back carry for various reasons. One being if you fall and land on you gun you could easily mess your back up bad. Also with the gun behind you reaching for it is a slower and more deliberate process allowing someone to interfere or even take the gun. The third issue I am aware of is sitting or riding in the car makes the gun hard to access as well as it may make it visible or poke out if sitting on a bench etc.
Not saying what you are doing is wrong, just a heads up if you haven't heard.

That's the plan with my car, since the seats are very unforgiving, even with just a wallet.I've actually also contemplated mounting a cheap kydex on the side of my car's console or something.

I got to looking back at your original post and had one idea.
What about inside-the-waistband appendix carry? That usually works for you "skinny" guys. And with a small weapon like a PF9, it might even work while driving. Any other "skinny" guys care to comment?

And Comp-Tac makes a nice one for your PF9.
