I decided to try the 5.11 shirt. It is a spandex blend shirt that contours to your body shape. I tested 2 guns in this shirt/holster. A SA champion LW and a HK USP F .40.
Initail impressions:
The shirt fit nice and did not bunch up at the bottom. It was itchy as all heck even after washing it once. After 3-4 washings , the itchy feeling seemed to go away.
I found the velco insufficent to hold either gun in while leaning forward. If I pressed my arm to my side the gun would stay put. After leaning forward 2 times the gun would fall right out of the holster. Also the griip would be very noticable under a cover garment ,after the gun shifted.
If 5.11 were to add more velco to shape the holster to a specific gun , I feel the holster would be usable. While I have no smaller pocket type guns to try, I feel they would stay put, but this defeats to purpose I would want the shirt for(to be able to carry a larger gun). Unless you want to carrry a small gun, or modify the shirt yourself, I suggest against purchasing this product.
