Quite a bit of it, no doubt.Thunderbear said:I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that is your problem.![]()

Look at my Holsters, Ill. thread, the M40A1 is about as wide as your G17, just not quite as long in grip or barrel. Most of the basics still apply.
I'm 6'3" and 250 and could hide a full size gun (p226) under a tshirt without hassle at all. You need a quality belt (gun belt, not the super heavy belt you think is super strong from walmart that will be just as good, a real gun belt from a holster maker) and a quality holster. Personally I think the alessi hideaway is great for this but you'll have to try to find what works best for you.idleprocess said:I'm also curious how one might conceal a fullsize gun.
