How much of a "bump" is acceptible?

First off i absoulutly love my ken null UNS iwb rig and the matching belt ken made for me. But i've noticed that sometime with certain movements the belt loop itself prints. Now let me say its the loop and only the loop that prints,and it prints as what looks like a square shapped thing on my belt. The gun itself remains totally concealed.

To be honest it kind of looks like one of those small belt cases for say a cell phone. My main question is how much of a bump of lump under ones shirt is aceptible when carrying? I've been carrying for years now have never been made by someone. So asuming its not another gun savy person looking at this,whats the chance of someone like a BG knowing what this is? do you feel its an acceptible thing?

IMO....the more I carry...the less I worry about a 'bump' or 'bulge', 99% of the people won't notice, and the ones that might probably don't care what it is...

I am in the same boat. When I first started carrying I was very self-concious of ANY amount of printing. But after awhile I realized that my Cell Phone had a bigger print than my EDC (A Dan Wesson Bobtail Commander). Now the only thing I worry about is direct exposure of my firearm.

I would not worry about it. Most people go about their lives not noticing anything around them.

I'm still at the stage where every little protuberance makes me nervous. The rational side of me says, "Does that look like a gun? No." It's still hard to think that way since I know what that little bulge is.

Most people will never notice.They are too worried about their own problems.

I'm always looking for guns on people...I know what to look for and I seldom ever see one...
Do you really think a will know what to look for...they usually don't even notice if they are being followed by a Sherman Tank...

Stay armed...no one really knows...stay safe!
