I'm curious as to what the preferred type of holster is for carry among CWP holders. Mostly I'm interested to know if the popular holster is carried tucked inside the pants or carried on the outside of the beltline. I have a soft holster I put inside my beltline in the small of my back, but that's really uncomfortable, mostly when sitting. I recently purchased an Uncle Mike's hard plastic holster with a paddle that clips on the outside of my beltlike. I carry a Springfield XD 9mm compact. This holster is much more comfortable for sure, but it seems a lot more noticeable, even though it's concealed under a shirt. It pokes out and makes a noticeable bulge. Nobody has said anything to me, and probably nobody will. Do I need to be concerned about somebody noticing my considerable bulge? Do I not want people to know I'm carrying, or do I just not want them to see it, but to probably know it's there? My CWP instructor told us that your weapon is concealed, and it should be concealed, i.e., unknown to everybody around you. Some of the posts I've read suggest that it's not that big a deal. I'm trying to find a balance. Advice and feedback?
