1-1/2" sturdy-ish black leather belt.
I can get away with it, but I'm trying to move away from the "tails out" look.

I think Racaza is mostly known as a "pimp-daddy" in shooting circles - he's not a top end GM, that I'm aware of, but he is a GM.

First thing is to dump any non-carry belts. The Beltman makes a great carry belt - I have quite a few - you really don't want to carry w. any belt not made for it.

I agree with this. A good stiff belt can make all the difference in the world. I have a 5.11 I got free with a pair of pants.Aglifter wrote:First thing is to dump any non-carry belts.

The Executive II, by our own Evyl Robot, gets excellent reviews, and he can make/tune it to meet any specific needs.

That or the comptac http://www.comp-tac.com I have 2 of the C-tac with a beltman belt with the velcro inner side and the velcro C-clips. I like them alot, but I now usually just use my Serpa II and OWB. I have bought several crumpled poplin shirts that have the abbreviated tails and are meant to not be tucked in. The crumpled texture of the fabric hides any lumps better especially in dark colors.
I put on an undershirt, Serpa II on Beltman belt, the one of those shirts or a slightly oversided Polo and I could give a shit if I print. Most people think its a cell on my strong side if they think anything.
Non-permissable carry is a toss up between the C-tac or pocket carry of the P3AT.
All of the above is with a Full sized Glock on a 5'9" frame at about 150-160#. I do have a decent "V" from my chest to my waist. 40 chest to 29-30 waist so YMMV

Evyl Robot made me a very nice custom dress belt that I wear every day for work and can then use to throw on my IWB in the evening if I'm going back out without changing.

Re: Want to change CCW modes/wardrobe
Been having the same issue regarding not wanting to look like a slob. Been using a scotteVest, which works well, but will start to fail as things warm up here and it becomes conspicuous. Intrigued enough by the idea behind the JJ Racaza .50 holster to order one. I will write a review when I get it. I am a little reluctant to move the weapon from 3 o'clock to 12 o'clock since i have not trained that way, but if the system really works....
