Cover your tank top with a Hawaiian shirt that is two sizes too big

Look at the SmartCarry under the belt line holster. I use them (different sizes) for my Ruger LCP and Taurus 709 Slim when dressing in shorts and tee.

The BulldogCases cellphone case is also neat, I also use it under some circumstances, like when sitting a lot, as at the movies.

Works great with the Ruger LCP or Keltec P-3AT, nothing larger.

I wore my Supertuck all last summer with no problems.
Re: Best Way to carry iwb durring the summer
I primarily carry either my Sig P220 carry or my P228 in a VMII under a t-shirt. Both fit in the same holster. I also have a Sig 239 I carry in its VMII sometimes, although not as often as the other two.
All 3 conceal without issue. 4 o'clock strong side. I don't buy extra large shirts, just use my normal shirts.
With the right belt and holster it should stay pretty tight to the body, my Sigs are not light guns and they do not move around with my setup. I squat down instead of bending at the waist, other than that I do not alter my behavior at all.
I have a friend that has a P228 and uses a crossbreed holster, he does not print either.
Hope that helps.

Re: Best Way to carry iwb durring the summer
It depends on what you mean by tank top if your looking at a underarmour sleaveless prob not a good idea. But if your thinking like a sleaveless t shirt just get one oversized, and long, dont want to be showing off the wrong gunsThe Badger531 wrote:ok here's one for ya'll

I carry IWB with the Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe with a Glock 17 while wearing tank tops and cut off shirts, granted they are loose-fitting, but no issues.

Re: Best Way to carry iwb durring the summer
I carried a Glock 21 for a summer a few years ago IWB and most of the time I wore an untucked T-shirt or tank top. It is not hard with a good belt and holster. The key is to make sure all the shirts you wear are straight cut on the bottom and longer. I try to find "Tall" made shirts when I can or buy them a size larger than normal. Tight and short is your enemy. You will find bigger shirts cooler in the summer too.

A tank top shouldn't be any different than a t-shirt, unless you're planning on cutting it off to bare your mid-drift, or wearing yourThe Badger531 wrote:Ok let me add this to MY post....i have a medical issue where i have a urinary Pouch on the right side of my Abdomen and i can't have anything too tight so would the cross breed be a good Idea?
holster at arm pit level.
You have a bit different circumstance than most of us. However, I think that as long as your pants aren't worn too tight, any good IWB worn at 3:30 or 4:00 position would not interfere with your ab pouch. Good luck.
Re: Best Way to carry iwb durring the summer
I tend to wear my belt pretty tight, not uncomfortably so, but snug. But I also carry guns that are a bit on the heavy side.
If you were to carry a lighter gun, then I would imagine that you would not need it as snug for it to stay in place. But for the best concealment you want the gun to stay put no matter what you are doing.
I don't think you mentioned what your carry piece is.
