I am 5'10" and 200lbs. I carry a P220 in the winter and a p229 in the summer. The clothes have a lot to do with it.

Used to do the 1911 IWB in my thinner years

, now there are other 45 options that weigh a lot less and still conceal in a good OWB rig.
Like the others said, body type and clothing options factor in as well.

It is definitely doable. A loose shirt or jacket helps keep you from printing with the longer handle of a full size. An FBI cant holster helps reduce printing and muzzle poking when you sit down (4 O'clock position).

I have found that some holsters are comfortable and others painful when carrying IWB. It's a matter of finding one that works for you.
