Sturmruger,
Thanks for the reply. This holster is a very well made hybrid. I am pretty impressed. I did notice that the gun seems to stick a little in the holster and when reholstering sometimes you can hear the slide move a little. It hasn't moved to the point where it would in chamber a round though. I am currently trying the wax paper thing on it now. I still am a little concerned with the printing issues. As I wear it around the house, it seems to get a little better each day but I'm still concerned my 30 may be a little thick (or better yet, I may be!) . I'm just hoping the leather breaks in so it doesn't print so badly. I'm new to the IWB carry and hope it works for me.
Don't get too wrapped up in the printing thing... First off, put your own mind at ease knowing that there is no brandishing law in DE. So even if someone DOES see it and reports it, other than an inconvenience it doesn't matter... Second off, I've said it several times in posts on this board and others... YOU are your own worst critic. You KNOW you are carrying a gun, and because you are new to it there's this deep seeded place in your brain that society has implanted that screams out, "Only cops and criminals carry guns, and I'm not a cop!".
Ask someone who is law enforcement how they can tell if someone is carrying a weapon or not... It generally isn't because they can SEE it, it's because of the mannerisms and actions of the person who is carrying it.
When you do things like keep your strong side arm clenched closer to your side while walking, you do it because you are AWARE of the gun... That's the key...
You need to FORGET about the gun... Unless a situation develops where you NEED it, you shouldn't even realize you have it. If YOU forget about it, so will everyone else around you...
Think of it like this... When you say you have a bad "print", think about how it REALLY looks... Take yourself and your OWN knowledge out of the equation... If you walked up to a complete stranger, pointed at the slight buldge and said, "What do you think I have here?", what do you think their answer would be?
Remember society implants that only cops and criminals carry guns? You're not either, and most people don't assume you are one or the other... So if they see a buldge their first assumption isn't going to be a gun, because YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE CARRYING ONE OF THOSE THINGS AROUND! So their minds are naturally going to go to things that you MIGHT be carrying around, things they've seen before... Like maybe a cell phone, mp3 player, pager, etc....
So take another look and see just how bad it really is... Chances are, it's not as bad as you'd think... and even if it is, as long as you forget about it, nobody else will notice it anyway...
