PLEASE!!! Do not worry about UCComforts integrity. He's a top notch guy. Just a bit hard to get hold of. Don't let this get in the way of a terriffic product.

Maybe Steve can lend some more insight into this area.

Not worried, understand its a small business. Was just confused on the what looked like an automated email that said the order status delivered. Maybe it'll get here with in the next few days, not sweating just feel like a freakin kid on christmas, ready to play :D on a side note gonna buy me a folder, may just get one from walmart, cant spend too much money need more gold dots and may be going to dallas to visit a relative in march.

It aint always the fast food, LOL. Dang it I was getting so cabin fevered that I was doing five course meals for dinner. It was horible I tell ya. Thankfully Doc has released me to ride my bike and now I'm on the Harley about 5 hours a day (BIG SMILE). Hope to be back to work in a month or so, but thats up to the doc and the beauricrats.

I personally carry in an NRA 5.11 holster shirt, and I like it. My Glock 19 is almost too big; I tried to wear it under a t-shirt (heavy cotton type, not undershirt type) and it was pretty obvious I was carrying something in my armpit. However, under a button-up shirt it works well. If I had a something the size of a 26 it would be completely unnoticeable.

I only use this option during the summer months, because when I have to wear business casual (khakis and button-up shirts) it is pretty hard to conceal any other way. After work I just unbutton a couple of buttons and stuff my gun in one side with an extra mag on the other.

Definitely not a fast way to draw, but it is better than carrying no gun... I have practiced drawing a few times and it isn't too slow if I have a couple of buttons unbuttoned - maybe 2 seconds. You must be VERY careful of where your trigger finger is when your hand is down inside the shoulder pocket. I figure if something goes down I'll just lose a couple of buttons. You would definitely have to draw when the goblin's attention was away from you as it takes a couple seconds and some pretty obvious movements.

I have 2 of the 5.11 tactical shirt holsters now. I also have a UCComfort. I like the 5.11 better. I carry a 3" Kimber in it, and it is virtually unnoticeable. It's design helps hold the butt closer to your chest than the UCComfort.

Ease of carry and comfort is exceptional compared to any other way I've tried. No printing to speak of, and no worrying about shirts riding up.

If you go this route, I would definately try one of the 5.11s.

Ditto on the 5.11 Holster Shirt. Not the method with the fastest draw, but when deep concealment is needed, it works as advertised.

Do not walk away from the Kramer Confi~Dead Shirt.
RUN away from it fast.
and for Deep Cover - cover it up deeply in the trash can with coffee grounds and banana peels.
It is a totally worthless POS.

Listen to fed w/ a sig - he knows what he is talking about.

I donno...I've had good luck with my Kramer Confidant hiding a Kahr K40. I haven't tried any other shirt holsters, but this one has worked fine for me. YMMV

That's what I think.

The 5.11 Holster Shirt is great for carrying all my "Bat Gear"..flashlight, knife, phone, mags, etc.. I also use it in the auto on extended drives.

The MAJOR issue I've had with him over the past five years is that his stock wasnt up to his demand. That said he is a small business and its part time, and evidentally there is enough demand for his shirts that he is expanding. Al is top notch and will replace any item that has issues. If you continue to have an issue with contacting him, send me a pm with your specific issue and I'll give him a call (and if I'm lucky he wont be in a meeting and I wont get his voice mail).

On another note, enough of you folks have dropped my name to many times that he (Al) has said he is sending me a new design to take a look at for FREE, LOL. Only problem...it hasnt arrived yet. So you see how high on the totem pole I am. In fact I need two more shirts to use once I return back to work in May, and unfortunatly will have to wait till April. (Seems for some reason the Size Medium shirts I had must have shrunk cause I know full well I didnt gain weight sitting on the couch for the past four months not being able to work out....bull chit).

On the Kangaroo rig. Its interesting but when I wore it I went for a short jog and all I can tell ya is I felt I needed a bra on my gun. It flopped on me so badly that I felt I was going to have a bruse. Some folks on here have mentioned they like it but I cant recommend it.

Ok back to my cage.

fed,

Have you had an opportunity to test out the new design from Undercover Comfort, yet?

Thanks.

I recently received another shirt from Al that was cut slightly different than the previous. It is slightly "fuller?" in the shoulders, and the fit isn't quite as "tight" across the chest as well. It makes the shirt more comfortable without sacrificing retention.

Hope this helps.
