To tuck or not to tuck ?

jfl · February 14th, 2009, 07:31 PM

I have 2 tuckable holsters for my G-26; the M-Tac is the one I have been using lately.
I realized I don't use the "tuck" feature very often, a day a week, if that; even with a stiff belt it makes a funny shaped waist-line; of course, being skinny doesn't help (31" waist).
So I mostly, either wear a cover garment or keep the shirt loose.

What do you guys do ?

I don't tuck. If I have to wear my shirt tucked, I carry my S&W 642 with .38 +P in a pocket holster.

Unless the weather requires a sweater I tuck my shirt. I found that I get less bulging with the holster at 2 - 2:30. I wear pleated pants, which helps break the profile of my waist with the holster in it. I carry my G27 in a C-Tac.

In the winter I usually have a cover garment of some type. In the summer time, I tuck everyday. I wear jeans everyday and either tuck a regular "T" shirt or wear a casual button down, sometimes a golf polo. A small amount of blousing around the waist assures that I dont print. A good gun belt is required as part of your concealing system.
