You're probably more likely to get spotted messing with your holster/gun/cover garment than by simple printing.
Check before you leave and work out some unobtrusive methods to check infrequently throughout the day--particularly after doing something that might cause an issue (getting out of the car, etc.)
In other words, make sure you've picked a good carry method and then leave it alone for the most part. Constantly checking or fiddling is far more likely to expose you than anything else.

Ht & one eye are right. A CHL will spot you, your cover, your carry position, mag holder ...WAY before casual UNobservant sheeple will. The cell phone comment?? Yes my cell phone is more noticable & harder to hide than commamder size 1911. Be cautious about neglegent flash. Don't worry about print.

My application is in Austin right now, so I cannot legally carry, yet. But I got a new Fist IWB holster in last week and decided to check it out while doing some stuff on my own property. After doing several little chores around the house, I asked my wife if the new holster was working. Her reply was, "What holster? You mean you've had your gun this whole time?" I think that answers my question about how concerned I need to be about printing. Now if only that license would hurry up and get here...

I've given up worrying about printing/flashing.
It's not intentionally FTC and I'm not too expectant of anyone freaking out.
I often wear my Kimber in an OWB holster because...well it's comfy and fast. I'll even go so far as wear it like with just a t-shirt over it and just keep my elbow tucked in to help minimize the bulge. The butt sticks out sometimes but thats just part of life.
