Re: This was never going to happen to me.....

You are rarely, if ever, going to find a comfortable holster. The trick is finding a holster you can tolerate all day...and somedays it is hard.

I have a Tucker Texas Heritage for my 1911 and a Comp-tac Minotar for my XD. I like them both enough that I don't have a holster drawer. They are tolerable enough to wear all day but I did have to get used to them, but I'm also a guy that can buy shoes off the rack by the size on the box without trying them on. Things either just fit me or I just don't know any better than to live with it.

For deep concealment I use the 5.11 tactical undershirt. I do wear another underarmor type shirt under it because the seams can chafe a little. It does get a little hot but you just deal with it.

I have found, as many here have also, that you have to dress around the gun. I used to wear tucked in t-shirts or polos most days. After I got my plastic that had to change. Now I wear a camp shirt or an untucked t-shirt that is loose enough to conceal a S&W 500 if I wanted to. Dressier times see me in Khakis and a polo or button shirt I have on the 5.11. Coat and tie means I don't have to worry. The Smartcarry was useful when I still had the j-frame.

While you may not have to resort to the "bed sheet", you may have to move up a size in shirts.
