That's a great hint. I haven't had a problem with printing. I move my gun to the position that gives me the best and fastest access - about 3:30 for me.SewTexas wrote:I'll poke in here with a quick hint. Sometimes it helps to shift your position, maybe you're carrying say at 3 o'clock because that's where your instructor told you that's where he carries, and maybe your body just isn't quite shaped right for it there, but maybe 1.30 would be perfect. I could never get anything on my right side to feel right, I finally went to 10.00 and it's perfect.

Re: Help I dont carry because my holster shows imprint
I am not familiar this particular gun, but from the pictures, it seems like C-dub's suggestions should work. My carry gun and rig is similar. The OP didn't mention his belt, but that may contribute to his problem.C-dub wrote:I'm betting outside the waist band, OWB, riding a little low on the hip, and the same size shirt he has worn for years before getting a CHL and trying to conceal a gun.
Camaro, I would suggest maybe tightening up that belt one more notch and bring it up a bit so that the grip of the gun is tucked into that little space between your hip and lower ribs. And either one size larger shirt or another button type shirt that is one or two sizes larger than what you would normally wear. Then tuck in the first shirt to keep the gun from rubbing directly against your skin and cover it with the larger over shirt. This has worked well for me for over 10 years, but it is not the only method.

Re: Help I dont carry because my holster shows imprint
What is a out of the wait holster? Do you have a make and model number?camarowithbass wrote:I recently got a CHL i *try* to carry a springfield subcompact 40 with an out of the wait holster
(came with the gun)
How ever the top of the gun leans away from my body and you can clearly see an imprint of the gun through the shirt.
Thus far i hardly ever carry
This has been the reason i haven't been carrying since ive gotten my gun/CHL.
I purchased another holster today at the gun show and it still shows the imprint, same problem. The gun leans away from my body
Any one know who makes a out of the wait holster that wont show an imprint?
