This will surprise you - 5.11 Crew-Neck Holster Shirt

I knew when I ordered it that it was designed to have a "compression" fit, but it seemed awfully tight when I tried it on. I double checked the fitting chart - there is one specifically for this shirt model - and determined the size was correct. I tried it with a Glock 30 (subcompact .45) and found it surprisingly comfortable. Between the neoprene and the four way stretch fabric, the pistol was well supported. I wore it with a Glock 19 (9mm compact) in the hope that it would not print as badly as the .45 on the light short sleeve shirt I wore over it. I wore it that way out and about in public. It performed so well that I forgot I was wearing it while sitting around. While moving, my arm would brush against the pistol shape and remind me it was there. It was perfectly capable of handling either pistol, though I think a subcompact in 9mm or smaller would conceal better - the thickness of the G30 was a problem and the butt of the G19 poked forward into the outer shirt. Overall I am quite pleased, even a little surprised, at the comfort and function of the garment, the result of excellent design and materials in my opinion. The printing problem was the cause of the four star rating, otherwise a solid five.
