i just came across this. Seems like the idea is good, however the execution might not be the best.

it looks really comfortable, but what is comfort if the "comfort design" hinders you from retrieving your pistol?

to me, it would seem that it would be difficult to access your weapon, especially in a quick manner?

what are your thoughts?? has anyone tried one of these?

Well I wear a 5.11 shirt everyday and they do make a good product. I think that's more more a backup gun than anything or for plain clothes police. Could be way off though.

I wear one. If you wear a button up, it won't slow you down too much. It holds the gun very snugly. IWB is not an option for me because of my sitting position at work, so this is a good solution. The only problem is I need one for every day of the week, because I don't like wearing dirty cloths, especially undershirts, day after day. I carry an HK USP Compact 9mm in mine.

i am the same way, and I can see where this would be an issue...i mean, have you noticed the price!? even w/ $10 off it is still WAY too steep for me. I would like to try one sometime? Maybe I need to show this to one of my buddies, who like to blow money, and hope they will get one and so I can try it out

I have one somewhere. It was hot and itchy on the seams when I wore it last. I used it for a G26 and it worked very well with the before mentioned issues

I have a couple and they work fairly well. I like them for running or biking, better IMO than a fanny pack. Added bonus, great place to store your MP3 player

I wonder about sweaty underarms affecting the gun. Anyone know about this?

After wearing in a similar location, under the arm, attached to a ballistic vest, the sweat over time corroded my slide catch and magazine release to my p239. Took about a year to do this.

I wear a 5.11 holster shirt when the weather permits (under 70 degrees or so) and love it.

Most of my days are driving and the shirts allow me to carry a full size pistol comfortably.

They are also about as concealed as you can get.

As stated above, I don't wear them when it's hot, so sweat has not been an issue.
