I'm looking for a good IWB holster for my Ruger SR9. Does anyone have any suggestions? Preferences?

what is the purpose of the holster?  Are you looking for competition, utility or concealed?

Concealment for sporadic carry. I guess it would be pertinent to mention that I'm a pretty big guy---6'3, 240 lbs.

Take a look here.  They are supposed to be really comfortable.

Haha!That's what Southern cookin' will do for you---I don't get around to do too many bench presses, but I do as much recreational jujitsu and wrestling as I can. What are your thoughts on shoulder holsters for big fellas?

I'm in NJ and basically CANNOT carry...but I've found that IWB works pretty well. i don't understand how "big" guys can't conceal so well. My SLOBSHADE hides a friggin' 1911 in my IWB. I always though if I could get it to hang under my manchest, the vert or horiz shoulder carry would be great.

Well I just hope you didn't take advantage of that weapon buy back program the township was running.  Such a deal!

What a joke! I couldn't tell from the newspaper photo what they got, but I'm sure they picked up a bunch of crap that wasn't worth any money. Great place to dump your worthless or broken guns.

Sadly, I don't think any of the criminal types sold THEIR guns to the township.
