Holster shirts from Sportsmens Warehouse

[centex aggie]

Anyone ever received one of these? They look practical, but getting it on and a piece in it can be a different story.

I tried looking online for it but can't find it. But it is a shirt that has a makeshift pocket under the left and or right breast.

Could you be thinking of Sportsmans Guide instead of Sportsmans Warehouse?

I posted the link to this last month:

However, it appears to be a copy of Kramers shirt:

I'm too large, so I haven't tried one.

Actually, the designs are quite different. The 5.11 is a skin-tight shirt (similar to UnderArmor) with a compartment under each arm, designed to hold a handgun on one side and additional equipment (such as extra mags) in the other. The 5.11 also has sleeves and the pockets are contained within mesh support material that extends over the shoulder for support with flat stitching and terry cloth for cushioning between you and the pistol/equipment. It is made of polyester/spandex.

I am actually going to be heading over to GT Distributors here in Austin on Monday to purchase one so that I have something to carry with when I have to wear slacks and a dress shirt. I have read in another post that it will fit an XD40 service model, which comes in at 7.3" in OAL. I'm hoping that there's room to fit my Hi-Power (which measures 7.8"), but will settle for being able to carry my PA-63 (same dimensions as a Walther PPK or Bersa Thunder .380), which would most certainly fit. I'll have to give a report of my experience with it.

[EDIT] Oops. I just realized that we're not talking about the same shirt. The one I was thinking of is the 5.11 Holster shirt. It can be found here:

I'll still post a review once I try it out, though.
