So my plastic arrived today and since I needed to run some errands, I got to CC and experience it for the first time. I went to HEB, Walgreens, Chase Bank, Bank of America, Little Ceasars over the course of about 4 hours, and much to my surprise.......I wasn't looked at like I had a third eye in my forehead, ie. nobody knew I was carrying. (Previous statement was ment to be sarcastic). I wasnt nervous or apprehensive, but I was pretty uncomfortable while driving with the bottom of the mag extension poking me in the love handle . I guess I need to lose some more gut.

I carried an XD40SC in a supertuck with a 5.11 leather ranger belt. I am very happy that the entire setup worked very well and the holster hardly moved.

Congratulations on your first "non-event".

That's about what it amounts to. You'll soon find that people will at you quicker than they would at you.

Conceal is concealed. No one knows.

You just described my exact gear.

Congrats on your first time out.
Soon it will become the norm and you won't even think about it.

Congratulations.

Thanks everyone.

Here's to many more uneventful days. Glad to hear you’re happy with the supertuck. I just ordered one because of the positive reviews on this forum.

HEB, Walgreens, Bank were my first trip too.

Congrats on a successful outing.

Before you know it....that "poking" in the gut will be a feel you miss when you are not carrying...and you won't like it

Yep, I regularly go all day with a commander-sized steel Kimber in a Supertuck, and it's a comforting presence on my waist, not a nuisance at all. My two spare magazines on the other side of my belt are more uncomfortable than the actual pistol.

Congrats!

Well, hopefully the "poking" in the love handle will be gone soon enough because I've started running and working out again. When I got my supertuck and tried it on, my jeans and shorts were just TOO tight. So instead of buying all new jeans and shorts, I decided to lose some gut, I figured that getting my CHL was a great reason/excuse to get back in shape. Once I lose a few more inches, Im sure that the poking will go away. But as to your original statement, it did feel weird going to school today and not carrying after carrying all weekend.

See, this should have been included in ObamaCare. You are getting healthier already. Your heart, blood pressure, blood sugar and pulmonary and cardio systems are benefitting. Body mass index improving etc etc not to mention your protection from harm to your health .. Glad you have "coverage".
M Allen Fritsch is an entrepreneur and business owner. He is a graduate of the United States Military Academy and a former Army officer. His household is one of the 45%

• Conventional estimates state that 45% of all US households own a firearm. This leaves at least 55% of all Americans "uncovered."• In 2008 there were 16,272 murders in the USA. How many of those could have been prevented if the victims had been able to protect themselves and their health?

My proposal is a modest one:

• Mandate for every American to purchase a gun or be provided one by their employer (children under the age of 26 can share a weapon with their parents)
• Tax credits to offset the cost of purchase (for those making less than $250,000 per year and everyone in Nebraska)
• For those that can't afford it, a grant or subsidy to purchase a weapon (union members can get two weapons subsidized before 2018)
• Funding for a series of community based gun dealers/clinics and firing ranges (especially in under-served urban and rural areas)
• Monthly ammunition benefit so that no one has to choose between feeding their kids, paying the rent, or buying a box of .38 special cartridges

I'm all for this type of health care
