5.11 holster shirt may be an option.http://www.511tactical.com/browse/Home/ ... 01/I/40021 They also make a crew neck.

I wear another underarmor shirt under mine. The seams are a little rough. It fit's snug and keeps the gun right up next to you. I carry a XD9SC or a Colt Defender 3" 1911.

The touchy-feely part at work may be an issue although it does tuck up under your arm pretty well. I haven't got around to it but I'll probably put a stich or two across the botton of the pocket to raise my 3" guns up a little. They kinda get lost down there.

Just something else to look at.

Good Luck.

I cannot shoulder carry, even with that 5.11 shirt, because I am wearing a polo shirt. No access to the gun even after I'm off the clock if I wear that. Also, my back/shoulders/side are what people generally touch (a hand placed there to alert you to someone's presence if you can't see them) and I would be much too worried about getting made there, even if I had access to the gun.

I'm going to go with something like the Crossbreed or MTAC...but I am going to wait until I actually have my gun in hand before getting one. Seems like IWB under my apron is my best bet because it has the best concealment and quickest access.

There's a bartender at my restaurant who previously offered to get me a discount if I ordered through Gander Mountain...ultimately I didn't order through GM though. Anyway, I told him I was getting my CHL and that I was getting an STI Ranger II. He grinned and asked me if I would be packing at work. I said, "Why, that would be against company policy as I understand it." He smiled and I wonder if he carries, too...I wouldn't be surprised, but he'd have to be pocket carrying to conceal it.
