Anyone ever tried something like this:

Not sure what size "a small auto-loader" is.

I have tried one on and it was not comfortable for me. It had a lot of additional foam for forming and fit like a compression shirt.

I don't own one nor the product which interests me at the moment...

Looks like you could wear it over a t-shirt under an overshirt. Looks like it wouldn't be as hot.

That does not even look comfortable.

I have been looking at the 5.11 shirt, but I want to see one first before I drop $40 on it.

I've got two of these: http://www.511tactical.com/index.asp?dl ... mber=72157

You can actually carry with it. It would probably work better with this: http://www.511tactical.com/index.asp?dl ... mber=59002

Steicher's has them in stock. I realize that's probably an hour or more drive but if you were in town for something else ...

I carry a 6906 in mine. At first it was almost unbearably scratchy on my skin. After several washings it has softened up a bit.

First of all welcome to the forum.

I'm planning to get one to give it a try. My friend picked one up and can carry his G19 in it no problem. Thanks for the review.

Note: My primary carry is a 6946. :D

Here is the best price I have found.

The shirts (and other products) from A Better Holster are excellent. I know for fact that they are used by some Federal Officers, I won't go into detail who exactly for OPSEC reasons but they are.

The http://www.abetterholster.com/products.htm page also has a video showing how fast you can use these. For some reason the vid did not work as well as it did in the past but I think that is due to my browser. The vid should show you the whole shooter (neck down though) with a reload.

Ive got two Kramer undershirt holsters. One on, one in the wash. Its a wife beater sleeveless mesh undershirt. It holds my Kahr Pm9 or Kel Tec P3At pistols very well for deep concealment.

Here's the link:

http://www.kramerleather.com/productDet ... egoryID=21

A call to Kramer and they were shipped. The guy there told me the air marshals had ordered several hundred of them


I also tried the 5.11 compression undershirt holster but it was way too hot for me.

The look on his face is...

Just for info: I have heard some awful stories about Botach, lost orders, terrible CS, humungous wait times, advertising items that are out of stock and so on. I have no idea whether they are true or not, just what I heard.
