Yep, the weapon is covered but its outline, or part of it, is visible. Just a bulge that might attract attention could be considered printing.Semi-OT Newbie Question (please don't hurt me! :biggrin: )
"Printing" - when your CCW isn't quite so Concealed, I take it? Basically along the lines of wearing a T-Shirt over your holster that shows off the fact that you've got a pistol in a holster under your shirt?
I actually carry with a T-Shirt quite often..
So here is my routine - I'm 6'1" and 200 lbs..
1) I live in Florida where casual is the norm...
2) I carry a SCCY CPX-1 9mm (Nearly identical in size to a KT P-11
3) I have an AceCase left hand holster that I wear at 5 O'Clock, so the butt of the gun points toward my right side. This aids significantly toward concealment
...............................
...............................This is a RIGHT hand holster pitctured
4) I then have some old 1980's "Wife Beater" t-shirts that are cotton, but are mesh (they tend to keep me warm in the winter and cool in the summer) I put this mesh t-shirt on 1st and tuck the bottom into my underwear (I know TMI!), this keeps the t-shirt from moving, shifting, bunching.
5) I then throw either a large (XL actually) button down shirt over (Hawaii style) or I wear a large T-shirt (XL actually!).. I have found that Black T-shirts also hide printing pretty well IF you have taken steps to minimize the print profile of your gun in the 1st place (size, placement & orientation of gun) - I have lots of Biker T-shirts (which frequently come in black and the designs add distraction to the eye)
That's it.. The only bad routine for me is I "shirt tug" a lot.. A T-shirt or even button down will catch between the gun and my back if I bend over. SO, I do tug a lot.. Which is a "tell", but I don't print enough (even bending over) that anyone would tell unless that exactly what they were looking for..
( You will probably NOT get away with this if you carry a big gun. I chose the gun I carry for LOTS of reasons, but conceal-ability was a major factor)
On a side note:
I was at a benefit dinner for "Sand Soldiers of America" the other night..
There was a guy sitting at the next table with a Hawaii cut style shirt - Black - with Harley Davidson Racing stitched on the back. When he stood up, he had an OWB KYDEX holster exposed about 3" at 3 O'Clock.
Since he was two feet away from me I just leaned over and whispered in his ear, "You may want to give your shirt a tug". He did, and never looked back, ever.. Because of the table he was sitting at, I actually think he was an off-duty Police officer..
Forgive the Noob question, but EDC = ?dont want to talk crap about your gun , but that was my first handgun after 100 rds would jams everytime , be careful is that what you used for your EDC
Forgive the Noob question, but EDC = ?
.
EDC = Every Day Carry
If your EDC is big enough, you could also say "Extra Dead Crook"
My EDC is not very big. But it has a .45 whallup. :biggrin:
