OMNICARRY for Bigger Guys: Concealed Carry Tips When You’ve Got a Little Extra Real Estate

By nick hoffer December 12, 2025


By Nick  Founder of HOFTAC Industries & Creator of OMNICARRY

There’s a common misconception that concealed carry is harder for bigger guys.

Let me clear that up right now:

It’s not harder -it’s just different.

In fact, if you know how to set up your gear, having a little extra “built-in concealment padding” can actually work in your favor.

So if you’re rocking a dad bod, powerlifter torso, ex-lineman frame, or simply the “I like tacos and I’m not apologizing” physique… this guide is for you.

Let’s talk concealment, comfort, and why OMNICARRY is one of the best options for bigger-bodied carriers.


Why Bigger Guys Think Carrying Is Hard

Most issues come from gear and technique, not your body type.

Common problems:

  • Holsters digging into your side

  • Printing because the gun sits too high

  • Waistline disappearing when you sit (it happens to the best of us)

  • Belts that were never meant to hold anything more than your jeans

  • Feeling like your gut is trying to “hug” the holster

Good news?
Every one of these is fixable.


Why OMNICARRY Works So Well for Bigger Body Types

I specifically designed OMNICARRY to adapt to real people.
Not just skinny jeans mannequins.

Here’s why it shines for bigger guys:

Adjustable Ride Height & Cant

You can lower the holster so it tucks into your frame, not against it.
No more handle poking out like a car antenna.

Retention Plates = Zero Wiggle

As bigger guys move, bend, twist, and do whatever we do… the gun stays put.

Works IWB or OWB

Some bigger-bodied carriers LOVE appendix.
Others prefer strong-side.
Some just want a comfy OWB that doesn’t feel like a brick.

OMNICARRY supports all of it.

Multi-Gun Fit

If you're a “collector” (aka you bought three guns before buying your first belt), OMNICARRY keeps up without needing a separate holster for each one.

Slim Profile

No bulky edges. No hard plastic corners.
More comfort = more consistent carry.


The Secret to Concealed Carry for Bigger Guys

Lean in, I’m about to save you months of frustration:

Your belt matters more than your belly.

A quality carry belt stops:

  • Sagging

  • Flopping

  • Holster tipping forward like it’s giving up on life

Once you get a sturdy belt + OMNICARRY, everything else becomes so much easier.


Clothing Tips (That Don’t Ruin Your Style)

You don’t need to switch to Hawaiian prints (unless you want to… no judgment).

A few simple tweaks:

  • Choose shirts with a little extra length

  • Darker or patterned shirts reduce printing

  • Looser cuts = better concealment

  • Flannels are basically cheat codes

  • Hoodies in winter? Congratulations, you’re invisible


Positions That Work Best for Bigger Carriers

Appendix (AIWB)

Shockingly great for many bigger guys because the holster sits in the natural dip of your torso.

3–4 O’clock IWB

Classic. Reliable. Does wonders when paired with a lower ride height.

OWB Under a Jacket

If you’re a bigger guy and you’ve never tried OWB with OMNICARRY…
Buddy, you’re missing out.


If You Only Remember One Thing…

It’s this:

Bigger guys don’t need special holsters — they need adjustable holsters.

And that’s exactly why OMNICARRY works:

  • Adjusts to your body

  • Fits your gun

  • Stays comfortable

  • Stays concealed

  • Stays put

No gimmicks. No “fat guy holster hacks.”
Just solid, adaptable gear.


Final Thoughts

Carrying concealed as a bigger guy isn’t a challenge — it’s a setup problem.
Once you get the right belt, the right height, and the right holster?

You’re unstoppable.

OMNICARRY was built to fit you — whatever shape, size, or level of dad-bod excellence you bring to the table.

Carry confidently. Carry comfortably.
And never let anyone tell you your body type holds you back.
