If you have to ask in my presence, then I a doing good job CC. Otherwise, if you can figure it out, why are you asking? :mrgreen:

Anyways, to help you out,
Either you have to have a buggy sweater, a nice looking sleeveless outdoor jacket or, go withe smartcarry or its clones. NRA have even one for you.

I'm 5' 9" and about 160-165 pounds. I found carrying OWB at about 3:30 (just behind my right hip) to the the most comfortable, easy to conceal, and that's my usual carry position. There are dozens of good holsters out there, I bought a Bianchi from Amazon for about 45 bucks.

For dressier situations I prefer a Kangaroo Carry under my left armpit, the only downside I've discovered is it can get a little warm in hotter weather.

Do you change how you carry during the winter or summer months: I just got my CHL in November last year so I'm not sure how I'll carry in the summer. I've been carrying all winter with button-down shirts and they are all pretty loose so they cover OK. Been a few warm days that I've gone out in just a T-shirt (yes, pants too), but I usually have to be pretty selective on which shirts so I don't print too much. The darker the shirt the better.
A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.
