His method works quite well if you don't have to walk, bend, sit, etc.

I like how she implies that you can't CC with a tucked-in shirt.

I only do it with a kangaroo pouch. Otherwise I really have no idea how to go about doing it. If anyone can point me at a website that demonstrates how my IWB holster can be used with a tucked-in shirt, please do! It would be greatly appreciated.

I use the Crossbreed Supertuck with the combat cut. I wear it with my shirt tucked in about 25% of the time. There is some printing depending upon bending, stooping, contorting, etc.

I have something similar but never use it. Even looking at the video I can't figure out how you tuck the shirt in over that. It must be my Eastern-European heritage shining through...

I have a MTAC minotaur and have the same problem (and use the Kangaroo for the same reason). I can get the dress shirt to tuck and blouse initially but a couple of twists and a sit down later and it is obvious that something is going on at my belt line. There is not a sign of anything with the Kangaroo, though I admit that it is a slower draw.

I wear a tucked in shirt and tie M-F.... no one as noticed yet. You have to have a "tuckable" designed holster. Here is a review I did of the supertuck and the comptac:

Though I am 50# lighter than this time last year, I am still kind of a...large person. I use the Crossbreed Supertuck almost exclusively. Being large I blouse my shirts when tucked in. I never reveal even a butt print unless I am bending over, crouching AND twisted away from my strong side.

While I agree her comments imply you can't conceal tucked they are aimed at school age kids that typically won't be aquiring "tuckable" holders. I can tuck my 9C with a regular tee shirt quite easily. Even rather form fitting ones. It is amazing how much this kid has on him though.

This snippet is included in "Bowling for Columbine", a quality film :lol: . I just knew that last gun was coming, the suspense was killing me.

I tuck occasionally with an MTAC in dress pants and shirt. When I get a job after graduation (pending a handbook clause or 30.06) I'll upgrade to the "C" clips, they hide under the belt and look cleaner. Being fairly skinny I do have a significant bulge in my belt line, so I push my carry back to 430/5, but then it gets uncomfortable to sit. I very much dislike appendix carry.

Depends on the holster. The holster clips have to be designed to be tuckable. I wear a Comp-Tac MTAC and am able to tuck in my shirt. It's not as clean of a tuck as if I didn't have the holster, but it can be done.

This video shows a guy tucking in his shirt wearing a Crossbreed Supertuck. Same concept as the MTAC. Tucking a shirt around an IWB is definitely an art.

"Tucking" takes a little practice. If you are used to wearing your shirt "smooth" against your abdomen/back, it will be an adjustment as a little blousing is necessary. My hardest thing is retucking after a potty break when there is no mirror to check the results before coming out of the stall. Image
