I want to start seeing pictures where people are twisting/turning/bending to try to make yourself print. It's easy enough to wear a loose/long shirt and let it hang there to cover your weapon and holster. In the real world people have to move at the waist. How well does everyone's setup hold up to twist/turn/bend pics?

Personally, part of the reason I prefer to tuck is because of the twist/turn/bending that we have to do. I worry less that my shirt will pull up over the grip because it's anchored in my pants. It is also less prone to the sit/stand > shirt folds between my back and the grip. I know all you IWB's know what I'm talking about.

Here's my P239 in my tuckable IWB (pardon the fruit of the looms)

Twist

Turn

Bend

Yes, I know I print pretty badly on the bend, but it's a bend at the waist and not at the knees which I know is better for your back and for printing less. I bent at the waist for emphasis.

How do CTAC's, MV2's, K&D's, Tucker's, and others fare in the twist/turn/bend?

It really depends on the day and what I am wearing, but here are two examples.

Just as a reference, I am 5'10" and weigh 135lbs. (a little on the skinny side

)

Yeah the bending at the waist is what gets you, even with a small gun.

Smith & Wesson M&P9c IWB

I'm not sure what the brand of the holster is. Some guy down in Gilbert Arizona makes them but it was originally for a full size M&P. Quick work with a band saw, a file, and some sand paper and I ended up with a nice "custom" Kydex holster for my 9c.
