FNP9 IWB position?

For those of you who carry an FNP9 (or other FNP) in an IWB holster; in what position do you carry?
I just got my CrossBreed SuperTuck and I'm having a heck of a time with printing. I can probably solve the printing problem with larger, untucked shirts but part of the reason I got the SuperTuck was so I could wear shirts that I tuck in.
If I raise the clips the the highest point I don't get much/any printing, but I also can't get my hand on the grip.
Ideas are welcomed!

Un-tucking your shirt would probably be the most practical solution. I bought the MTAC Minotaur for IWB carry (similar holster to the Supertuck), and I've never been able to make the tucked in feature work for me. Since I usually wear my shirts un-tucked anyway, it wasn't really that big of a deal for me. Your mileage may vary.
That said, Spring is here and Summer is on its way, and it is going to get nothing but warmer and warmer for the next few months. Un-tucked shirts may be more comfortable anyway.
And I don't carry an FNP, but I do carry a full sized 1911 that way with no problem.

Thanks for the response TAM. I have toyed with the idea of getting a smaller framed pistol for my CCW but that's not an immediate option... although it may be cheaper than buying a bunch of new shirts! Anyone think my wife will buy that logic?
The 3:30 (8:30 for us lefties) position seems to be the most comfortable for me. I guess I'll just keep experimenting around the house. I don't even have my plastic yet.

Did you try adjusting the cant? I found it to help somewhat with my full sized Glock 22.
