How to stop my handle from pushing my tshirt out

[Navyvbss]

I have the uncle mikes soft iwb holster, i carry appendix and my sd40ve handle pushes my tshirt out, what can i do to stop this?

 

[Inusuit]

Some suggestions for what they are worth. I mean no disrespect.

1. Get a better holster.
2. Carry at a different location.
3. Wear something other than a tee shirt.
4. Acquire a smaller pistol.

So many possibilities: Better holster, bigger tee shirt, better belt, smaller gut, change holster positions, smaller gun . . . Must have been typing at the same time as Inusuit.

Thats what i thought. I carry apendix because its comfortable and much, much faster to get and have at the ready then any other carry ive tried, in the navy i carried here because it was closer to centerline and mor accessible, the 40ve i like for the shear fact that its fat and slow, i dont wanna hit 3 people in a line if i did ever have to use it and the holster i agree i need a better one lol and im 6ft1 at 184, i have no gut on me, i thought that would help having no gut but it doesnt, no one carries a full size in this position without printing?

Larger t-shirt. Shirts with a printed pattern show less than a solid color.

I don't carry AIWB, but it is something I've looked into. Definitely look into a better holster. I can't remember makes/models offhand, but I know there are a number of kydex holsters that feature a wedge on the body-side that levers the gun's grip into your body. Something like that might help.

Dark star gear, keepers concealment, Jmkydex and several more have a built in wedge or a claw at the attachment point that tucks the butt. Maybe look at "aiwb holster hack" an article by Limatunes.

This is why most of us have a box of barely used holsters in a corner of the gun room . . .

Try right at 12:00, 12:30. Works much better for me. Roll the holster so the grip tucks into the belt a little. It'll roll back out but may settle it in a little better.

I have a Premier brand IWB that does a great job for me.

As suggested, different attire will change how the gun carries.

You'll get it.

Hate to break it to you, but the holster you bought is not at all ideal for appendix carry with a full size pistol.

I mentioned it in the other thread when you asked about holsters for your pistol, and I'll mention it here also - JM Custom Kydex makes one of the better holsters you will find for appendix carry for your pistol.

I know it is kind of difficult to swallow the cost of a holster that is nearly a full third of the price of the pistol you purchased, but a carry holster is not one of the things you should skimp on. A good holster and a good belt are worth the cost, and will last you many years of daily carry.

I am close to your size, and I can conceal a full size M&P - plus a spare mag. - under a large t-shirt just fine with a JM holster.

Cheap holsters suck - those **** nylon "one size fits most" Uncle Mike holsters suck the most. They have their place, and I suppose they work OK for some people, but for daily appendix carry with a full size pistol there are so many better options.

Frankly, the appendix carry doesn't appeal much to me, seeing as how an accidental discharge (and they do happen) is going to hit something vital, like the femoral artery or family jewels...

OP would do well to actually get some training (not a ccw class: several days of instruction) to learn how to draw and shoot (presentation of the pistol).

Appendix carry isn't an option high on my list of good ideas.

Training will help OP understand he can present his pistol as quickly (actually faster) from a strong side holster as an appendix rig.

Cheap holsters and belts are the biggest mistake novices make, second only to learning gun handling from u tube.

You need to be willing to spend serious money on these components: $250.00 for both belt and holster is quite reasonable (no fancy leather or decoration).

If you aren't willing to spend the money on training and good equipment, it's hard to offer helpful advice.

OP's problem is more significant than printing.

Uncle Mike's holsters are unsuitable for anything other than a drink coaster, and even for that purpose they're poor.

Invest a real holster; it's money well spent.

Most people wear a size larger shirt when carrying a gun.

I realize younger people don't like baggy clothes.

But I've reached the age where baggy is my friend.

I've got a few T shirts from Duluth Trading that are both baggy and somewhat longer to cover the top half of my pants pockets. (I usually pocket carry).

I also found Propper Polo shirts are longer than most and make great cover shirts.

Also, they are tailored to fit better (for me anyway) than most other shirts.

Many times a better holster helps a great deal.

!!!throw that holster out the window before you hurt yourself!!!

those kind of holsters are useless not to mention dangerous for normal carry and stupidly dangerous for AIWB carry

that being said after you throw that deathtrap away buy a purpose built AIWB holster...CCC shaggy...JMCK...Keepers etc and a quality gun belt and you will be able to carry a full size easily

Im 6ft and 180 t0 190 and carry a Hk45c with the 10 rnd elephant foot mag under snug tshirts and polos easily

Aloha Shirts conceal better and are cooler to wear.

Buy a real holster, how do you reholster with what you have one handed, if your holster does not allow for one handed reholsters it is not a holster.
A very wise man said to me "buy a good holster, cheap ones will get you killed"No disrespect but uncle Mikes holsters are also known as fruit of the loom holsters. Also a good gun belt is needed with any real holster.
MY 2 cents worth and its on me this time no need to send a check.

Like wsr said above, get a good holster, such as a JM Custom Kydex IWB, (or even a Remora can often help with printing).

Here's a Glock 19 in a JM Custom Kydex "George" holster:

in wisconsin there's no such thing as "printing" so i don't worry about it. check your state law to see if you need to change anything so you don't "print".
