The girl?


Speaking of BUGS, I switched mine yesterday as I made a purchase ... now it's a Black Glock 26, 12 round mag, with Advantage Tactical sights, in Desantis Nemesis Pocket holster, .. as BUG to my Primary, OD Green Glock 26, 18 round mag (20 Round mag in Winter) with Advantage Tactical Sights, IWB. Carried it to Supper last night. (Old BUG was Keltec P11, 12 round mag, I thought ... why am I Keltec-ing? Same size as a Glock 26, and spare 20 round Glock mag I have for Primary can also fit a Glock 26 BUG, but not if it's a Keltec...)... So now I'm a double 26 carrier, same sights on both, same feel to both, same mags ...

Yeah, that belt looks like it would make a sword.
That's the only company I see offering TWO kydex insert stiffeners for support, I may need to get that ordered, I'll miss the "Velcro sewn in" I get on my Comp-Tac belts though. Also, I wonder ... Comp-Tac belts are "contoured" whereas this company has, by the photo, straight belts which aren't curved like belts want to do (the reason Com-tacs are 'contoured'). I'm just kinda spoiled. Not many companies offer "everything" kydex insert, Double layer, Velcro sewn in and contour from the beginning. I noticed crooked stitching in one belt photo this company had as a photo ... Comptac would have put that one on sale half price during their 1/2 off - e-mail prior customer scratch and dent sale..

I may need to order one of these from there the kydex reinforced one in this photo; decent price

I did away with the Hogue rubber grips because they caused my shirt to stick so every time I sat or had to bend down, I had to readjust the shirt to free it. I'd like to get more cant, but when I adjust the clips any further they get way too close to rubbing against the pistol. So I'm still holster hunting.

But whenever I can, I wear a Hawaiian shirt over a tee. That tends to hide it well. But layers aren't a great idea in the South TX outdoors in summer.

"rubber grips"
The ONLY time I was *made* was due to rubber grips on a 5-shot revolver when the grips clung to the shirt

"shirt over a tee" is smart
layering conceals a lot

Does this Desert Eagle .50 make me look fat? Or should I wear the Kahr PM9?
Caution ... think before answering a lady





Women get to... why not us guys?

BTW,
The open front guayabera over a Tee-shirt look works for females too

Ask a female...
You can never have too many pockets, purses or shoes.

Us guys who refuse to carry a "man purse" just can always use more pockets.

Layered look fashion:
My Niece and I made a game of "counting layers of shirts" on BIG BANG THEORY shows

Just glanced at your photos
You have several options

FYI
my height 6'0"
weight 188
age ... must be middle aged because that's where the weight went ,,, to the middle

Personally, I'd move that gun to more of a 3:00 position, I tried that comfortable spot like you are doing when I first started carrying, but it didn't conceal as well as 3:00 and it clunked on chairs when I say. it helped a lot to switch to close to 3:00

Options:

1) Get a smaller gun
When I first carried, I got smaller/shorter/thinner grips on guns and bought a bunch of 6/7/8 shot 9mms, later I switched to shorter barrels and grips can be a foot long (I generally carry a 18 or 20 round [Glock 19 or 17+3round extension] magazine in my Glock 26 now) and I could conceal using two shirts, the Tee and a lightweight Guayabera ... you'll adjust and learn with experience carrying more

2) Go looser=Longer T shirt ... especially looser
I wear a Tee Shirt too .., but I wear a little looser one in Extra Tall (Longtail Tee, a size or two larger than I normally would)

IF you feel like your gun is printing too much when you move/stretch, this photo says you need just 1 size larger shirt unless you wear a cover shirt, though it isn't bad now, I always think ahead ... Thanksgiving dinner is coming in a few weeks ,,, I'm buying bigger shirts myself now (I quit smoking last Thanksgiving, and I'll be celebrating with extra Pie this year...I only ate 3 Pumpkin Pies last year... I love that stuff high in Vitamin A and .... but back on topic ...)

3) Layering
when you cover that Tee shirt you have on with a second lightweight shirt of any kind, it will work great
(I particularly love Guayabera shirts as they have upper and lower pockets, filling lower pockets with say tissues creates a bulge, I have so many bulges in pockets and around my waste, as distractions, but who stares at a wad of possibly used nose-napkins in a pocket? So everyone quickly looks away from all bulges on me)
Yes, layering may be a bit hotter, get a real light weight top shirt, I leave Guayabera shirts unbuttoned in front, for the layered look and access to my gun if needed, but the top shirt covers my sides where my gun is... but it's Fall now, even in Summer the top shirt covers the sweat stains in your Tee Shirt, so ...
ok, maybe that's not your "style" but any layering, second lightweight shirt in Summer/Winter conceals the bulge in the Tee, and it's in style so ...

You don't have to look gangster-ish, just look stylin ... however you like
