I LOVE mine! I carry my G27 on one side and a set of folding cuffs on the other. It is well padded to prevent skin irritation and sweat getting to the weapon. It is held tight under my arm and is almost 100% invisible - you have to try to see it. Actually, I've gone all day carrying and my wife thought I decided not to that day because of the lack of printing.

I've been using them for about 6 months and the only complaint I have is that some of the seams that are less stressed (tail, arm cuffs) are single stitched and the tail is beginning to fail.

All in all it's a great concept, works very well, they just need to tweak the QC a bit.

thanks for the reply,gonna pick one up

I like mine but it needs a better closure on the pockets. I do have a first gen one so maybe they have fixed that. The shirt is very comfortable with smaller guns like the 26 or 27.

What size gun do you wear in the pocket? I'm assuming a G30 would be too large, right...

A VERY well made shirt. I like it alot

Quick and easy to just throw the firearm/mags or miscellaneous things in the Concealment pockets.

I put a Glock 26 in it but have seen a 21 put in the pocket. I have not seen any new ones but I would not buy it unless they fix the pocket.

Good question, I've been wondering the same thing. Does it pull down on your gun side and feel uncomfortable at all?? Does it make sense to carry a pair of cuffs on the other side to balance it out like Firecop said?

[camelcluch]

You will feel heavy on one side but it doesn't really pull down. The design is really pretty good with the exception of the one I mentioned. Mine is very comfortable but I did wash it inside out first. You could put cuff, mags, wallet or anthing else in the other pocket.

It's there and you know it's there but the weight is distributed well enough that your not "hefting it" every 10 minutes to get it back in place. When I put my cuffs in the other pocket I often forget they are even there.

Your weapon is well supported and held tight to your torso but remains comfortable.

Try it - you'll like it. If not, and it's a Large, let me know and I'll make you an offer for it.

Let's see -- 482 views on this thread and counting... You ready for 500+ size large holster shirts coming in the mail?

Anyone out else out there had success carrying a double stack Glock in the pocket?

[hooknbook]

Sounds good guys. I've been wanting to try them out so I may pick one up today and give it a shot. XL though Firecop, so I guess I'll have to Ebay it if I don't like it.

This made me think about all the different holsters I have for offduty carry. All of which were supposed to be the "most comfortable", including a custom inside the pants holster I had made for my Glock 27. I bet I have 7 different style off duty holsers, non of which I like too much.

Has anyone tried this shirt on duty....

I'm a rookie, and I'm looking for ways to carry by BUG. Its gonna be Glock 27... It looks like the shirt is a great idea, but i was thinking i could buy a size large enough to wear over my vest. As you can see I'm trying to avoid the velcro stuff, and shoulder straps under the uniform and it seems just from looking that this might actually work. But I'm curious if anyone has already tried this method.

[Groove]

Would a Glock 19 fit in one of these shirts?

Before going that route I would just have a holster sewn to your vest.

Trust me, less is more when you are taking off/putting on that crap every day.
