First real concealed test!

#1

Post by Blindref757 »

Wore my XD9 in my Tucker Texas Heratige today in a room full of 500 ppl with my shirt tucked into my shorts! Yes, it felt like everyone was looking at me and I probably discreetly checked it 50 times. All worked out perfect! I even wore it into a liquor store with an unlicensed carry sign on the door! Very cool!!!

Welcome to the forum. I've got news for you......if you checked it 50 times, you weren't being discreet. :smilelol5: Just strap it on, cover it up, and forget about it.

It does get better. I used to worry about carrying under my dress shirts. Now I carry a government model 1911 without even thinking about it. The trick is to just cover and forget. If anyone (not a LEO) should ask, it's a medical assistance device, and no, I'm not going to show you.

Once its concealed don't check it. Your hands attract peoples eyes. If you don't fidgit they will not be inclined to notice.
