Gents, I think the problem is the holster AND the belt.

The new flexible web belts used, like the 'tactical' 511s are not rigid. Thus you have to make it tight to keep the holster stable. And holsters that have hard backs tend to push on the kidneys to boot, especially polymer holsters.

Plus it is aggravated when you weapon choice is a heavy one.

A good quality leather belt you don't have to cinch tight and a lighter weapon is what I'd suggest. And maybe a leather holster or just some soft material epoxied to the back of the holster.

And yes, I am affected by this very thing myself! It ain't fun when you are in pain just walking.
