i dunno about all that. "they" say you lose alot of your fine motor skills under duress... i don't know if i'll have my head on tight enough to fiddle w/ a button, reach across my body quick enough to not really telegraph what i am doing and still come out on top. CTAC for me Also, i sweat perfusley ( i live in phx) i dunno how sanitary that'd be

Cool

But if what you're wearing doesn't allow for the use of a conventional holster, this just might fit the bill. I can think of times it would benefit me. I'll probably go for one.

60 dollars seams like too much to pay for it.

In principle it looks good, but, without snaps on the cover garment, I have serious apprehensions that a quick draw ,as shown, will be possible with most button shirts. Though it would solve the in the office carry problem.

Well, it is a "special purpose" rig. Considered to be for "deep concealment."

There are those who belong to this forum who can draw from one and fire two shots on target at 7 yards in less than 2.8 seconds. That's pretty fast from any concealment rig.

I frequently utilize a belly band type rig that I carry in the same position as that one. High on the chest with gun tucked under the arm. I can draw in about 3.5 or less depending on cover garment.

People who wear those usually have a keen situational awareness and know lots of tactics which can allow them the time to make the draw. They also modify their clothing in ways that decrease draw time.

Usually when I wear that, I also have a BUG in a front pants pocket which I can draw at least a full second faster.

Like any piece of equipment you stake your life on, you need to practice with it.

Whew....I'll wade into this one real fast.

Ok fine motor skills do significiantly reduce but that is where training comes in, BUT whoever said to "unbutton" your shirt? If you need a firearm under a button down shirt, rip the buttons, its not that hard. If you use a t-shirt holster daily (as I do) then you'll modify your shirts to have snaps behind the buttons which are sewn to the top of the shirt for show only. However, it is not difficult to rip open a shirt in a situation when you need a weapon.

flakon.....$60 is to much? I have been carrying weapons concealed for 20 years, and very few of my holsters cost under $60. A t-shirt holster is a specialty holster and having made them myself, $60 is cheap for a rig that can (and has) lasted me over 5 years each.

The Fed ..... I'm sorry you have a Kramer, it to was my first t-shirt holster and the reason I began making t-shirt holsters. Kramers in my personal opinion are junk (and I've told Greg that many a time but he refuses to change it). My agency issued them and every single one needs to be altered to make them ready for carry, and its not a easy alteration to do (I know I'm the guy that gets the calls to alter them...to the point I said no more).

I dont own UC Comfort, dont get paid by them but due to their products I stopped making my designs and just tell folks to call them. Wore one today, and just took it off, temp was close to 100 degrees and my gear came out dry and ready to use (fortunatly I only had to draw it to stow the gear in the gun box in my bedroom).

That is for sure. I would get the comfort carry over the kramerleather one. But still 60 dollars?

Wow lots of great dialog about the product , and differnt opinions and that is very good. Fed I have to agree with you it is a great product, and not junk as so stated by the distinguish member from TN,.

Yes with practice you can qualify on the PPC and or any qulification course as I have, and with the custom shirts you will have no problems getting to your weapon. Like any holster and or concealment product the user must get use to it and the comfort of it. I use their products everyday and they work well better then most, before UCComfort I use to wear Kramer I will not wear Kramer confident shirt ever again, although Kramer does however make nice side holsters.

Here is a link for the dress shirts call Al and or e-mail them info@undercovercomfort.com and they will let you know about the custom shirts.
