    Was just saying cause I think it'll be most comfortable at my side. I didn't want it to dig into my gut/thigh when I bend forward but it's not like I bend over an extreme amount of times. With it being a full-size gun/barrel, my side is probably best.

    I get that. I do have a similar issue with my 9mm. I can carry my revolver like that in gym shorts or other stuff in my exercise clothing though. If you LIKE it? There are ways to work with it I suppose? But honestly? It is hard to beat the ease and speed of a 4:00 carry for concealed carry. Just make sure you get good at lifting your shirt fast. I’m pretty quick out of my Galco plastic holster with my 9mm. Full sized iwb. It is a great carry option.

    Kinda late too the party... but yeah big thumb's up with Stealthgear IWB holsters. My EDC was either a G43 or a P365 @ the 4 or 4:30 and hardly know it there.

    I'm 6'0 220# so a little bit of belly but not too much. IWB is not always comfy but i prefer to go 1-2 pant sizes up and use a crossbreed iwb holster. I have not found many doublestack pistols that I like to carry iwb but my Springfield XDS .45 carries great with that setup and its pretty easy to conceal with a t-shirt and shorts. The crossbreed is kydex on leather to the holster stays open for one handed re holstering but leather is against your body for more comfort. Alien gear is similar but uses neoprene...the alien gear is a little more chunky in my experience but a great holster for my CZ P01.

    Thought I would update this for whoever cares.
    I went with Aliengear. Reasons why are because, after searching a bunch, I realized that many companies do not make one for the 5.7. Also, I liked the lifetime warranty and I got it for 20% off during their holiday sale.
    Thanks everybody for your suggestions and replies.
