Yes TN is HOT in the summer, Tee shirts and shorts in the summer is standard wear. When you are fat, you don't sweat you render......

Tried a few combinations for AIWB. Settled on a SIG P365 with the XL frame and standard P365 slide assembly. Full capacity 12 round mag with a short slide/bbl assembly which is comfortable for sitting normally in the AIWB position and ligh weight. In max discretion situations either this or switching to the standard P365 frame module works well.

An OM 1911 works similarly with respect to concealability and comfort if you’re OK with 8 rounds of 45ACP and a bit heavier carry weight. I’m OK with that combo too because it’s a 45ACP 1911. Understand other opinions exist but if a pistol is needed I’ll take this combo.

Critical to AIWB is the right holster with respect to bulk, carry angle and ease of draw.

Well, at least the pistol will be lubed, not rusted.......grin

I picked up a Milt Sparks Criterion today and I forgot how comfortable they are. I’ve carried in kydex daily for years now and it was working on me. That’s one reason I was even looking at AIWB. No pain whatsoever and no reason to look at anything else. Well maybe a better mag carrier.

I think the holster has a lot to do with it. I tried to like a Vedder lighttuck with my M&P compact, and could never get comfortable.

When I tried a raven concealment vg2 with my 365XL I was very surprised at the difference, very comfortable. Night and day. Gun is smaller, but also the holster doesn’t have any edges to dig into your body. It’s super comfortable AIWB even though I could stand to loose a few pounds.

I also tried my kahr cm9 in an el cheapo holster and realized the slide length is pretty important to keep the gun secure, a short gun like the cm9 (same length as a 365) doesn’t work at all for me.
