undershirt holster

Any comments or reviews on the Kramer Confidant, the A Better Holster, and/or the Under Cover Comfort undershirt holsters? I don't know anyone who has used one. The on-line photos are not really helpful.

The Kramer looks comfy (v-neck, sleeveless, and cool) but the holster looks like the firearm would sag and/or flop around (even if the shirt was purchased a little small).

The A Better Holster also looks cool (as in temperature), but it is not a v-neck or sleeveless, and the holster, while it appears to hold the firearm tightly to the body, looks like the seams attaching the holster to the shirt would print (even if the firearm didn't).

The Under Cover Comfort holster looks the have the best of both in that it is v-neck, sleeveless, cool, and holds the firearm tight to the body. However, it appears that the holster has multiple snaps on it, and they have to print!

Any comments?

Use the search function at the top for info on this holster & look for posts by user/member fed wif a sig. He seems to have a good deal of experience with that model and some good recommendations.

I have a C-Tac Infidel with the Shirt tucker strut works fine for me.

I ordered a UC Comfort, hope to get it sometimes this week.
Fed w sig convinced me even said he'd pay me back if i didnt like it hahah j/k

Have a CTAC also and it works well with my shirt tucked in, but there are times that I have to bend over and my shirt at times has a tendency to work it's way loose.

May try a smart carry still trying to convince myself to get one maybe one day

Some additional info I should have included in my opening post...

I have a Smartcarry. Works great and conceals well, but I am looking for something a little more comfortable with faster access. I wouldn't get rid of it, though. In fact, I will be ordering another smaller version soon.

I had a FIST tuckable. Worked as advertised, but still was way to conspicuous. In order to tuck my shirt in, I had to blouse my shirt around the grip, and it was obvious I had something there. Kind of like a baby Glock in a pocket. It may not look like a gun, but it ain't inconspicuous.

Plus, I am looking for a single holster option I could use every day, regardless of what the weather or what I was wearing (dressy, casual, grubby, etc). I would rather not have to pause in my presentation and ask myself..."OK, what holster am I wearing today?"

Remember the old saying..."Beware the man with one gun. He probably knows how to use it." I think that logic also applies to how one carries it.

Finally, I have done the search and read what fed with a sig had to say. It was him (or her, I don't know) who informed me there was an option to Kramer Confidant. My only concern with the UCComfort were those snaps all over the place, plus I don't need all that gear. One firearm (small) and one spare mag (also small).

I guess I may order one just to see. Any other ideas are welcome. Thanks.

Hi I have been using a smartcarry for over a year and it works great once you practice with your draw technique.IMHO. You can do Anything with it on. I found that it is the most comfortable and most used holster that I have. I use a Taurus MilPro PT-111 9mm for my EDC weapon. I you have any questions about it I will try to answer them for you. Have a good day.

I have looked at those T shirts and at $60 that seems a little steep, but they do look like they would make me look skinnier by the material they are made of. I simply can't see the difference between this and the Belly band. The belly band can be worn with many forms of dress and in multiple locations on the upper torso. I carry my Sig P232 and J frame model 60 in it. A good belly band runs $20-$30, not the cheap ones, and I just feel they are more versatile. I only use the Belly band when deeper concealment is a must, otherwise I use a Bianchi Carry Loc holster for my Glock 23, wish they made this holster for the P232. Just my .02

I used the Kramer Confidant shirt twice while I have owned it. Both times, I noticed the shirt was a bit baggy under the arms where the holsters are located. It allowed the gun to move around, and found myself subconsciousily moving my arm around to assure the back of my arm kept the gun in tight. In my humble opinion, one size fits all does not lend itself well to this type of holster. If it fit as it should, then I would venture to say it would be perfect.
Also, the velcro is very noisy and scratchy. In a positive side, it is well made and super light. You do feel it move up if you raise your arms or shoulders up on your waist, so something else to be cognizant of.

Wow.....no wonder my ears burnt today.

First off....when did I say I'd buy it from ya? I dont even think you wear my size, LOL. Keep it up and I'll pull the stiches on your shirt.

mocarryguy....sorry but KRAMER CONFIDANT SUCKS. Wow that felt better. I have worked with Greg (Kramer) over the years and he has refused to make any modifications to his t-shirt and it shows. His product is the worst t-shirt holster out there and a total waste of money. It takes so much work to make it functionable and wears out faster than any other shirt on the market. I'm sorry that you bought it but I did to once upon a time.

NCHornet....ya there not cheap, and I spend $140 a year buying two t-shirt holsters every year or 18 months, but I use them daily for up to 20 hours a day. I've never been made while using them and have walked into the hallowed halls of many of the finnest spotters of concealed carry.

Tuckable holsters are fine when in an environment where folks dont know what to look for. But if someone is observant its not that difficult to spot a tucker holster when someone has their shirt tucked in.

I also have a Thunder Wear holster and occasionally use it. However there are a couple issues with it. When using it with a decent sized weapon, I feel like John Holms and if I sit down, I look like it. Some folks swear by them and with practice you can draw from it pretty quickly. But for daily usage its just not for me.

I'll go back to my cage and wait for my new order of UC Comforts to show up. Yes I still pay for them and use them daily when at work.

fed_wif_a_sig...

What are those snaps for? OK, I know what they 're for, just can't see why they are there in the first place. Can they be removed without seriously damaging the shirt? Also, the web site shows two different shirt styles. Are you familiar with both? You are convincing me I should go with UCC over Kramer, but what about A Better Holster? Finally, I am not as buff as those models on the web site. I may not be the Charles Atlas "before" picture, but I ain't Hulk Hogan either. The gun(s) to hide range from G26 through PM9 down to P3AT (don't have a PF9 yet).
