Does anyone here cc a full size? I own a p250 full size and am trying to go about figuring a way to cc it. Thus far, I can't find a decent IWB holster. I should probably get a crossbreed as they seem to get excellent reviews everywhere I look and custom mold for each pistol model.

I don't have the build to comfortably cary a fullsize. if i did attempt it though i would not screw around with anything but a .45, probably a 1911.

Problem is its the only handgun I currently own..... I could carry my m1 garand, but that would just be too obvious...

Also, I chose a 9mm because I find it easy to shoot with a quick target acquisition and reacquisition after firing. I am a firm believer in the "it doesn't matter how big the bullet is if you can't hit what your shooting at" mindset. So I believe a well-placed shot in a lower caliber is more beneficial than a wild shot with a higher caliber. I also believe that when a gun is pointed at someone, the intimidation factor of carrying a full size of an unknown (to them) caliber can stop a shot from ever getting fired.

By no means am I knocking anybody who chooses to carry a smaller weapon or a higher caliber than I do. It is just what works for me.

I conceal carry my P226 Tacops and my Springfield XDm 45. Both full size pistols.

What kind of holster do you use? Most fullsize holsters, from what I've seen, are shoulder or OWB.

FWIW, I carry a p220r Elite in a de santis 'cozy partner' IWB. It works well and is, for me, very comfortable.

Just my .02, Hope it helps.

I have the p250c in .40. I find that hard to cc, but all I have (so far) is sig's paddle holster. Really comfortable to carry and not to bad in the winter with bulky cloths, but will be obvious in warmer weather. I just ordered an IWB holster that I will try and see how it looks/feels.

I carry a P220.

Yeah but the Garand would be hella effective!!!!!

I alternate from P220/P228 and Colt Combat Commander. I use a strong side carry in a hi ride belt holster or string side IWB holster, all with thumbsnap retention made by Galco.

It requires a loose outer layer of clothing...usually a collared shirt untucked and partially buttoned but it works. Also can be ok under a polo or pull over..both loose.

It's not as easy a carry as with sub/micro pistols but if I ever am in a lethal force confrontation I want a weapon/caliber I can count on and I am very familiar with.

Cheers.

I edc a P220 carry.

Alessi makes some fine IWB holsters and list the P250. Comp-tac makes some fine IWB too but I don't know if they do the P-250. N82Tactical can fit you to. Lots of options for good comfortable holsters I think.
I carry plenty of full size guns but the best rigs are a Milt Sparks Summer Special 2 with a SA 1911A1 and a Comp-tac Infidel Ultra with my glock 22. I can carry either scenario and typically forget I am carrying, they are that comfy.

Tommy Theis makes a very comfortable IWB. I carry full size 1911 and forget it's there. theisholsters.com

Don't forget the most important aspect of IWB carry, a good quality, thick belt. Concealment Solutions and A&G Leather have fine offerings.
