Concealed Carry Challenges for Bigger Builds

If you’re a larger-framed concealed carrier, you already know the struggle: most inside-the-waistband (IWB) holsters are designed with the “average” body type in mind. They often ride too high, dig into your side, pinch your stomach, or print badly under a shirt. For bigger guys, this can make concealed carry uncomfortable—and sometimes even impractical.

That’s exactly why we created the Fat Guy Holster. Designed from the ground up with comfort and concealment in mind, it’s the best fat guy holster on the market—purpose-built for larger carriers who want to carry confidently without sacrificing security or concealment.

What Makes the Fat Guy Holster Different?

Unlike standard holsters, the Fat Guy Holster adapts to your body—not the other way around.

Adjustable Ride Height & Cant Options

With three ride height settings and cant adjustment, you can fine-tune your carry position to fit your body and draw style.

• The top setting—our signature “Fat Guy Ride Height”—sits lower on the waistline for deep concealment. This not only tucks the grip in tighter but also prevents the back of the slide from pressing uncomfortably into your stomach.
  
  
• The middle setting provides a balanced position between concealment and accessibility.
  
  
• The bottom setting gives you a standard IWB ride height if you prefer a more traditional carry.
  
  

Comfort-First Engineering

Every curve of the Fat Guy Holster was designed for comfort. The contoured build reduces pressure points when sitting, bending, or driving—solving the problem of sore sides and pinched bellies that bigger carriers often deal with.

Secure, Customizable Retention

With adjustable retention screws, you can set your holster exactly how you want it—smooth on the draw, but locked in when you need security.

Multiple Attachment Options

The Fat Guy Holster supports a wide range of carry styles with four attachment choices:

• Monoblock: A strong metal clip with two independent arms and clasps on the underside that lock onto your belt. Secure hold with easy on/off convenience.
  
  
• Soft Loops: Pull-the-Dot snap loops for one of the most secure attachment methods available.
  
  
• Ulticlip: A versatile option that works with or without a belt, using a firm clamping mechanism.
  
  
• Ultituck: Built on the Ulticlip design, but allows you to tuck in a shirt for deep concealment while carrying.
  
  

Optic-Ready for Modern Pistols

Red dot optics are becoming the standard in concealed carry. More carriers are running micro red dots for faster target acquisition and confidence under stress. The Fat Guy Holster is optic-ready right out of the box, so you can carry the way you want without compromise.

Built for the Pistols You Actually Carry

This isn’t a generic “one-size-fits-all” holster. The Fat Guy Holster is precision-molded for today’s most popular firearms, including:

• Glock 43 / 43X / 43X MOS w/ TLR-7 Sub
  
  
• Glock 19 / 19X / 23 / 32 / 45 (with or without TLR-7/A/X lights)
  
  
• Sig Sauer P365 / P365X / P365XL / P365 X-Macro / P365-Fuse
  
  
• Springfield Hellcat & Hellcat Pro
  
  
• S&W Shield 1.0 / 2.0 / Shield Plus (3.1” barrel)
  
  
• S&W Bodyguard 2.0
  
  
• Glock 26 / 27 / 33
  
  
• Canik Mete Mc9
• Over 200 additional models
  
  

When you order, you’re not just getting “a holster.” You’re getting one that’s made for your specific pistol, giving you the fit, concealment, and comfort that mass-market holsters simply can’t match.

Why It’s Better for Bigger Guys

Most holsters force you to work around them. They ride too high, dig in at the wrong spots, or leave your pistol printing badly under a shirt. The Fat Guy Holster was built differently—designed specifically for larger carriers who demand comfort, concealment, and versatility.

• Rides low enough to stay concealed and comfortable.
  
  
• Adjusts for your body type and clothing style.
  
  
• Supports optics, lights, and top-selling pistol models.
  
  

This is more than a holster—it’s a concealed carry solution built for people who have been overlooked by “standard” designs.

Everyday Benefits for Bigger Carriers

• Deep concealment that prevents printing and keeps both the grip and slide from pressing into your stomach.
  
  
• All-day comfort—no more sore sides or sore bellies from a holster pinching against your body.
  
  
• Confidence in carry—whether you’re at work, running errands, or spending time out with family, your firearm stays secure and discreet.
