So I finally received my chl about 2 weeks ago and got my Crossbreed Supertuck yesterday so I did my first concealed carry today. I was pretty nervous at the beginning but ended up noticing that nobody else noticed so it put me at ease and I stopped worrying about it shortly after. I was wearing a navy blue 5.11 Tactical button up shirt which kind of printed because of the bottom of the mag but not enough to be noticeable. Ended up buying 3 Wrangler plaid shirts at Walmart for like $13 a piece and they are made of thin material and break up the pattern of the mag very well to the point that you cannot see it at all even if you're looking for it. I'm carrying a Smith and Wesson M&P 45 with the 4.5 inch barrel so it's not the easiest gun to conceal but with a holster, belt, and a good shirt you can conceal a large handgun. Anyway just wanted to share the experience with you guys!

You will be a little anxious at first but the novelty wears off pretty quick . Unless it's really obvious people are not looking for concealed handguns , not that hard to hide them with the right outfit . Good luck to you all and may you never need them .

I would just about bet I have the same shirts from Walmart.. I got the square bottom shirts,they hide my holster quite well. :fire
