Crossbreed Supertuck Adjustments - XDTalk Forums

NitroxAZ · 11-06-2009, 09:58 PM

I got my Supertuck about 2 weeks ago and have been wearing it and breaking it in. Very comfy right off the bat and getting better the more I wear it.

I am carrying an XD45 Service. The grip does print and am curious about the best adjustment to make to make it so that it does not print. I am wearing it at about 3:30 or so.

Any suggestions from those who wear this combo everyday. Thanks in advance and a thanks to Mark for a fine product.

Do you have it at a cant forward? I did that with my SC and what little printing there was, is now way gone!

The way it comes from ST is 2nd hole up. I have mine setup with the front clip 3-up and the rear at the bottom hole.

Keep adjusting it, including cant, and minimize the printing.

HOWEVER . . . if you're new to concealed carry, then you are almost certainly worrying too much about the printing. The fact that YOU can see the gun doesn't mean that anyone else will. In fact, they almost certainly won't.

A few thoughts:

1) Wear a shirt that's large enough that it's not pulled tight against the gun.
2) Wear a shirt that's dark in color, and has a pattern on it.
3) Use a good stiff gun belt. This will hold the gun tighter against your body.

Keep practicing . . . but most importantly, just get it the best you can and then GO FOR IT. Nobody will see it, I guarantee it.

Excellent points ..............

What you see as sticking out like a sore thumb, will probably never be noticed by the general public...

+1 The moves and contortions you do in the mirror should never be used in public.

anyone who has ever "made" me while carrying with my supertuck has either been a close acquaintance who knows that I carry or a fellow shooter. It will never occur to 99% of the general public that that slight bulge on your hip is a gun.

This is what did it for me, grip no longer print's.
