wow that impressive how much info you guys gave, since i am taking that the shirt sucks, i am trying to make an XD .45 4inch "disappear" the best way possible, i wear a lot of button up shirts, so i plan on a shoulder holster but also a IWB for other days, have any ideas or recommendations? Thanks again guys, impressive.


If you're wearing your shirts untucked and don't have a gut to push the butt of the gun away from your body, you can look at a good pancake holster that is high-ride. Safariland makes a couple that fit the bill really well.

I carry a SIG P229, which isn't any smaller than what you're carrying. I just use a simple IWB holster and I don't tuck in my shirt. Depending on the shirt there is minimal to no outward sign I'm carrying. And even if there is a sign it looks like anything but a holster.

No needs to wear multiple layers and all that. One of the things you're going to eventually realize is nobody is going to notice. Even those that Open Carry find that people are so blissfully in their own world they wouldn't notice a firearm if it was painted neon pink in a holster on your forehead. They certainly aren't going to be eying you up for a weapon unless you give them reason to. And on the off chance that someone notices a bulge, they're going to attribute it to something else....cellphone, leatherman, pager, PDA, etc....anything but a firearm.
