I currently have a shirt holster made by www.abetterholster.com Like I like it very much.
Its a deep concealment holster. Your weapon sets just under your left arm-pit, kind of like a vertical shoulder-holster but tighter too your body.

I carry my Rossi 357 snub, My S&W 457 45acp and my Taurus 608 357 4 1/2 barrel. They are all very comfortable in this shirt.
What I don't like about it is the neck is too tight. and I noticed that the 5.11 comes with a V-neck.

But I've seen what is called the 5.11 Holster shirt on the NRA site. And was wondering if anyone has you of these and how they like it. The picture shows that the weapon sets kinda like under your left boob, and that it takes two hands to draw it, is this true???

Please no comments about the Kangeroo holster. I have no interest in them..

Thanks Joe

I am not ready for that style, but I have seen the 5.11, and the one you wear. Does not appeal to me personally, as I have not needed deep conceal.

I would rather be able to get to it quickly, IWB, SMB, or shoulder. In the winter, I might even go for OWB, strong side or Cross draw, depending on what I am carrying as I have some coats that would even conceal the JUDGE, which is close to a foot long.

Altho I haven't found any locally now, I used to have a northern long coat you could carry a .45 in. You could also reach into your pants pocket through the coat pocket - or shoot Charles Bronson/Death Wish style. :shooter:

I've read that the 5.11 shirt does have silver threads in it making it anti-bacterial (anti odor). Does yours have that?

UUUUHEEEE, Anti Odor, that brings some funny stuff to mind, but I will not go there today!! Just the thought of that gives me chills.

Gee, I wish those had been around when I was in deep undercover. I did what I could and never got "outed" but those would have made it much easier. I wonder, though, how well do they protect your firearm from sweat?

I have a belly band holster that I use when I am not wearing a belt for a more standard holster to hook to. I like it because I can adjust it to where I want it to be and it hides at least okay under a tee shirt.

It was really a very simple question I thought. and a serious one.

Either you have or you don't have a 5.11 shirt holster. if you do have one I would enjoy hearing from you, about your likes or dislikes of the 5.11.

If you don't have one then no reply is nessisary
