Another point: if you're a fat guy, admit it and buy pants/shorts/trousers big enough to go over your belly instead of clinging to the size you wore in high school, but you have to wear them at mid-thigh level due to "dunlop." Not only will they be more comfortable, you won't lose your pants if you try to move quickly and it makes carrying with IWB holsters more comfortable and practical.
wait a minute, i AM wearing the size belt i did in HS. not when i left active duty, but HS...hehe.
these are all good points. a carry system is just that, a system. belt, holster, mag carrier, bug holster etc.
i do have my flame proof suit on, so go ahead, but the fanny pack is still a viable option. it should be one that is designed for concealed carry. call it what you will, but sometimes it just makes sense. and it really only screams "gun" around gun folks.
now if i could only find one to fit an M4 and several mags....
