there are also some really nice shoulder rigs here:

I started out 100% shoulder rig. I'm a BIG guy but have 00 butt so I can barely keep my pants up as it is. When I tried IWB it was just a joke.

I got so tired of burning up in the Texas heat wearing a cover shirt for the shoulder rig that I went back and played with the IWB again. Turns out it was a belt issue. I got a better belt (100% elastic with a lot of tension) and i'm very happy now with IWB. I also started wearing the buckle on my side instead of in front. It's a little more comfortable and makes adjusting the belt between sitting and standing very easy.

I'm now on the waiting list to get the Summer Special II from http://www.miltsparks.com/ . It's a 26 week wait but I'm told it's one of the best holsters to have. Now i wouldn't trade IWB carry for anything.

LEDJedi, I'm not sure how that belt will work out long term but if it works for you good. You might want to get a spare belt to have around, that way if you start having issues you can switch to the new belt and see if they go away.

I plan on getting a Wilderness belt sometime soon. I may become my primary if i like it, if not it'll be a good backup. I have a friend that swears by them.

I'm also planning on getting a good pair of suspenders to wear under my shirt soon. This is the vendor that was recommended to me. That should help with some of the issues with the added weight from the gun. see link

I used to have a shoulder holster as my preferred method of carry. I got tired of the neck and shoulder pain and having to wear a cover shirt in Texas heat. I've since switched to IWB with a better belt. I can't even begin to express how much happier I am with the situation.
