….but there is a reason old, fat guys often wear suspenders.
They work.
With suspenders I could carry a 1911 with ease. I was carrying a Browning Hi-Power with comfort as well before I sold it. Used to carry a Glock 19 with two extra magazines, again no problem.
These days it is either a 3” Model 10 or a Glock 48, and still always with suspenders. If I want to forgo the suspenders, then I pocket carry a Smith 642 or a Glock 42, anything bigger is just too much weight and bulk for my pockets. I typically wear Duluth jeans, which have large, deep pockets, but even with those I don’t think I could draw a SIG 365 with ease.
The Glock 48 has been a revelation, thin, light, and 10 rounds. A 365 is a great package, obviously a little smaller, but I can get a full grip on the 48and it has a decent sight radius. A little big gun if you will.
Of course all the above is apples and oranges, what works for me is for….me. Your mileage may vary……
