...one more piece of advice. Listen to guys like Spencer (Prdator) and Troy. They (among others) know what they are talking about.

For the life of me, I can't remember his name. He was an exibition shooter for the Okla Highway patrol in the 60's. I used to work with his son, but saw him give a demo in school.(times have changed). He showed all of his stuff, and finally said that in one moment of stupidity, he stuck a 1911 into the back of his pants as a temporary holster, and shot himself in the arse when recovering the weapon.
Story is: be carefull how you carry.

Shot to the side of the thigh, bad. Twig and berries, bad. Shot is shot. It goes without saying that anyone carrying a firearm, needs training. I don't necessarily place a premium on more training because of where on your body you carry. Maybe "where" you carry.

I completely forgot about the holes for adjustments! I lowered the Looper, and will try it out tomorrow.

Yep, shot his self in the arse.
His son is about 6' 3", and meaner than a junk yard dog....Least he was in the 80's.

I have a Looper like yours that is heading North for Christmas... to a slight fella who packs a G26. The Looper looks like it needs a few more holes punched in it if a person wanted to get the rise and cant just perfect.
For the first month or two....ANY gun you carry will be obvious to YOU and you alone. I can assure you... if a guy can open carry one of those pimped out Taurus 1911's with gold plated trim OPEN in Lansing, MI without starting a riot... you should be able to carry any gun of your choosing with a good IWB.
Most "tuckable" holsters work very well if you wear a full cut dress shirt (like a Arrow button down or similar) and let the waist blouse out over the tucked gun.

His daddy was a bad mofo. I'll never forget seeing him when I was a kid either on Outdoor Oklahoma or Don Wallace. He "painted" and indian chief's head complete with the big feathered head dress. His brush was a Thompson sub machine gun. His canvas was a piece of sheet metal about 3 or 4 foot square. It was amazing.

I carry my G23 at 4 o'clock and Kimber at 5 o'clock. Both conceal very well, Kimber more so because of the slim profile. Usually a t-shirt that's not too tight does it just fine. Lots more options in cool weather. Have to be careful bending over to pick something up say form a bottom shelf in a store. usually move my wallet into my left back pocket (weak arm).

Ha ha I don't carry them all at the same time
I'm not knocking you at all but accidents happen every day.

You just need to get comfortable with carrying, I was paranoid for about a week and now I dont think about it nor worry if others will "see". I use a Cleveland and it conceals a G21 with ease, carried at 4 o'clock with a slight kant. Full size .45's are big and heavy, but it can be done. All good advice so far.

I have a buddy down in Mississippi who has carried 12 CW weapons at once... and spoke in front of group of people to demonstrate that fine art of the hide- out gun.
NOT A NAA .22 in that dozen either. Largest is a 5 inch 1911, there are a couple of Browning .25 ACP guns in vest pockets... all the others are servicible revolvers or semi autos

Oh yeah! It's pretty great now that it's lower. I think the cant could be more aggressive and it would hide perfectly, but I'm now more certain that I didn't waste my money on this holster. It carries a lot better, extremely comfortable, but not as comfortable as wearing an OWB holster. Time to practice my draws. I don't see it being tough to beat 1.5sec, but I don't think I'd make it past a reliable 1.2 unless I really got stringent with it.

There was a video running around a couple of years ago with William Shatner coming into a board room and finally putting a TON of pistols
On the desk.
It was amazing how many he had under his business suit.

Awesome buddy. A little cant (raise The front loop or lower the back) does help conceal some guns.
Good luck and be careful. Drawing from IWB is different from a DOH.
