I carried either a SW p99 or a full-sized 1911, but had problems with the gun
leaning to the opening and the velcro not able to keep it in.
Now, I was up and down installing lighting and taping extension cords to the
floor and stuff - not just sitting at a desk or walking around.
Perhaps with a smaller/lighter gun I wouldn't have that problem.
Haven't tried it with my new 3.5" (what is that, commander-sized? officer-sized?) 1911
because I got a Galco owb holster with it that works like a charm for me so far...
I had the same problem. I had to be really careful bending over because the weight of the gun would start working on the small pieces of velcro. I had my wife sew in additional length of velcro between the two small strips they provided on the shirt. It makes opening the shirt a little more difficult, but it seems to help keep my .45 Baby Eagle in place. This is not my preferred choice of carry but sometimes it is my only option. I still have found no substitute for IWB carry. I still do occasionally carry in a fanny pack or gun pack.
