As others have said, 99.9999% of the people who even bother to wonder what that shape under your shirt actually is won't be able to tell. And most of them, even if they could tell, won't care - as long as you don't look the part of a gangsta and are not acting in a threatening manner.

That being said, slightly looser fitting shirts, with printed patterns in a darker color will conceal your pistol better than a t-shirt will. But choice of holster and firearm also are factors. Even so, there are at least a few members here who carry full sized pistols OWB and don't have printing problems. I used to thing that being (ahem!) "beltline challenged" would make it harder to conceal a pistol, but I've seen enough posts on this site from people who describe themselves as beanpoles who complain that they have trouble with concealment. So, I think that firearm choice, holster choice, and clothing choice have more to do with it than physical build - that and attitude. If you act with that "I'm nervous because I'm hiding a gun" attitude, people are going to pick up on it. If you take appropriate measures to conceal, and then forget that the gun is there until you need it, nobody will be the wiser.

I'm a believer in, "put it on, cover it up, forget about it."
