Just got my CrossBreed - Page 2 - XDTalk Forums

IamCPTSpalding · 10-25-2009, 10:29 PM

I've got 2 now, best holsters I've ever had. I'm looking at a Tucker for when I'm wearing shorts (it's still hot here in Houston.... for me anyways). My 1911 rides a little sharper, but still not noticable with a button down. The T-shirts have to be a bit baggy or your just going to be so self conscious people are going to wonder who the "crazy" is.
Congrats on your choice to carry, your choice of holster, and get somebody to go out with you sometime. Have them eyeball you. Sure your bound to "show" a bit, but if you actively try to conceal it before you leave the house the average citizen will have NO idea.

Get a good gun belt to help support that Crossbreed and XD.

That said, I've had no trouble CC'ing with a T-shirt. I prefer the ones a little big and go below my waist by 4-6". Haven't been caught yet.

When you first start carrying, you are a bit paranoid about EVERYBODY can see you. They don't, and the more you carry, the more you get comfortable.

If it really worries you, get a friend/spouse to give you a once over.

I'm not suggesting to let it hang out, but it's usually not as bad as you think either.

+1. I've only used OWB belt holsters, including a couple paddle holsters for awhile, and wear "busy" pattern (like plaids) slightly oversized button-down shirts, always untucked. I must look like such a slob compared to how I used to dress.

Or maybe I look like the usually laid-back 40-year old dad I actually am. Anyway, I'd bet most of the time no one is the wiser that I'm armed.
