Well I'm on the skinny side, 5'11" and 158# and I carry a 45 Officers acp during the summer and don't print. I usually wear a sleeveless undershirt and a sport shirt over that and bermudas for pants.
Now if you are on the pudgy side don't try this as you will look like a cobra that just swallowed a football. I always carry cross draw because it's more comfortable for me. In a typical winter scenario in this country you will be wearing some type overcoat and jacket or sweater beneath that. I don't like the strong side draw in this scenario. Too many layers of clothing to get through before you finally get to Mr. Lucky. Why I carry cross draw. I can use my left hand to lift the clothing layers, other wise I would be using my pistol hand to try to get through the layers often resulting in el pistola getting wrapped in clothing. Not a nice thought.
In due time you will find what works best for you. I'm not suggesting any of my methods as I worked on them for me. Mainly like Paul Hornung said "Practice, practice, practice."
Learn to use one firearm and one firearm only. You don't want to have to think when you face a bad situation.
Best wishes, Bill
