To be honest the parts in the box can be a little confusing at first but realize that if you bought the core pack and not just ... Read More

Competitiveness

More comfortable than any other brand i've used.

I may consider a mag pouch as well and the other iwb pancake expansion pack to try to spread the bulge and make it print even less.
