Tactical Undershirts

[OLDNAVYMCPO]

Got a couple of undershirts with built in holsters, for concealed carry, for Christmas. First I ever had, unsure if I would like them. I've seen them advertised and had a friend who used his frequently. His worked well for him. Never bought one since the good ones cost as much as a good custom holster. So, anyway, I'm wearing mine around today with a S&W 64 snub stuck under my left armpit and a S&W 442 in an El Paso Saddlery OWB right side. I plan to wear them both all day in my travels out in public just to try out the Tactical shirt. Interested in the opinions of the knowledgeable members here.

I've had the Kramer shirt for years, and use it with a 442 when I can't carry any other way. Slow draw, gets hot in summer. But you can literally carry on the beach under an open shirt.

I have the Kramer Confidant and I LOVE that holster. I literally forget I am carrying. I carry my Glock 23 or 27 with a spare mag, or two, on the other side. Only problem I have with it is it will hold a Centennial J-Frame, but it is hard to draw it out. A larger revolver will not fit. I would be interested to know which one you have?

I have both the Kramer, which as you say is perfect for the 442 and the one I'm wearing right now is the 5.11 Tactic. It appears very well made and carries a K-frame well, also can carry a M&P 40c on one side with mag on the other. So far, I'm really liking it.

My only objection would be that I'm real big on carrying one way all the time. I'd sure as Hell hate to reach for my hip and have the gun in a shoulder holster

I've thought abut getting one but was put off by the cost. There's a lot of wisdom in carrying the same way in the same place all the time, but sometimes that isn't practical for daily ccw.

I bought such a shirt, IIRC it was a 5.11 brand, for my brother to wear when riding his Harley. At first, he did not like it, as it was hot. He returned the shirt and got one with a V neck and started wearing it regularly. Mostly he carries his AMT B-U .45 a.c.p. or Sig C3 in the shirt. He has been happy with it since he got the V neck version.
