I forgot about this thread.

I posted this in one of the waiting room threads, but I think it does a good job of showing that with a good holster and a belt that keeps your gun snugged up against you, you don't need to wear clown-sized shirts to keep your gun covered. With a t-shirt you just have to be careful of bending over forwards to far because the fabric is kind of thin and the grip will print a bit.

Everyone recommends wearing extra long shirts, but if your gun is showing then your stomach would be showing. I can't remember the last time I was out in public and walking around with my belly hanging out, but maybe it happens.

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere. -Thomas Jefferson

Yup - I can remember back 30 years ago when I was slim and trim. Somewhere along the line, most likely in 1985, I've eaten one too many donuts and need a little more outerwear to conceal.

I wish I was a slim guy, my Extra mag keeps poking me in the love handle.

Me too.
But I have big bones. At least that's what my parents always told me. :???:
