Packin Tee Holster Crew Neck Shirt / Shoulder Holster, Concealed Gun Shirt, Cross Draw Holster, More Versitile Than a 5.11 Tactical S/S Holster Shirt

I use the black as an undershirt and they look good. They do keep you warmer so they could be hot in the warmer climates. I use the small and large holsters for a .25 and 380 respectively and they work well. I have both a large and x-large. They large is tight but is nice if I'm in a dress shirt and need to suck my gut in....the x-large is longer and the armholes are bigger, but neither is noticeable under your shirt, and the x-large is a little more comfortable although the gun will sit a little lower under the armpit. The hook and loop covers a large area and I never feel like I'm going to loose the weapon. It's surprising how no one can notice you are packing because of where you are wearing it.

I rarely write in depth reviews. But with the myriad of concealed carry options out there, when it comes to a purchase like this, you sort of have to close your eyes and hit the buy button hoping you don't waste your hard earned bucks. Luckily this turned out good for me, but not perfect.I have a 5.11 tac shirt, while I like it and it prints less when being worn with a lighter shirt, it is much bulkier. This shirt is actually getting more use than the 5.11 right now as I seem to be getting it out of the closet more and more.Before we get started on the review here, I'll let you know some details. First my body type. I am 6'5ish and around 260. I regularly go to the gym but my body type is not super athletic, nor am I chunky. My fat percentage usually hangs from 22-28%. Second my activity. I am a RN and my day is pretty active, I go to the gym, I fix things around the house. I rarely just sit around. So CC options that allow for mobility and comfort are high on my priority list. Thirdly, my dress. Typically I wear scrubs. Surgery scrubs to be exact, so they are super thin. On my non work days, I wear button up shirts, zip up sweaters, jeans, dress pants, and polo type shirts. Lastly, my weapons. I typically have two sidearms I carry. One is a steyr s40-a1 and the other is a kel-tec pf9. The kel tec is considerably smaller, so depending on what I'm wearing and how bad the printing is with the Steyr, I'll switch to the PF9.So now that there is some context to this review, I'll get started.To start with, the T shirt itself is nice. Super nice. The Velcro panels are stiched on nicely and this shirt itself is great quality. Much thicker material than a standard white cotton Tee and very soft. While I could do with a smaller Velcro panels, it's not bothersome at all. It doesn't look like a tac shirt and the tell tale pocket seams of the tac shirt aren't there to print through your outer wear. So if you want to wear this shirt with a button up shirt or just a zip up sweater, you don't have to worry about zipping or buttoning all the way up so the design of the tac shirt doesn't show and give it away. With the zipper half way up on a sweater, it just looks like a regular t-shirt.Size wise, I usually wear a xl, and a L is pretty tight. I ordered the L just because I want the shirt a little tighter for added support. One problem I run into doing this is, being relatively tall, my shirts end up being too short and look like belly shirts from the 80s. Not so with this one. There is more than enough length to tuck in the tail. It may actually end up being too long on someone with a shorter torso. So something to consider.This reason I gave this product 4 stars instead of 5 is the holster. It's made nice but the design is kind of poor. It's just a panel of fabric that has a Velcro backing. The nice thing is that with all that Velcro you realy have a ton of options about adjusting. The not so nice thing is having to yank the thing off to move it, but it comes with the territory so I don't think it's a problem. The hook and loop is fabulous and VERY tight and sticky. After you place it, it's very difficult to remove.The gun is held in by a strip of a well stitched elastic band. Here in is the problem. While it's very easy to get to, reholstering is a problem and if you bend over the gun will actually fall out. So you have to be aware of that. Canting the weapon forward for ease of draw will exacerbate the problem and limit your "bendability" at the waist. However, the holster was designed to be as small and unobtrusive as possible, so redesigning may end up making the holster more bulky, but it would be nice to have a few different designs to work with rather than just the one.So in conclusion, concealed carry is all about options. While nothing is going to be your "one stop shop" when I comes to holsters, you will find products that will improve on the shortcomings of others. So in situations where carrying IWB isn't practical, and a pocketed tac shirt would be too cumbersome, the packin Tee fills that void quite nicely. It's certainly a product that I feel should be in every persons closet who doesn't want to run around helpless in the hands of, what seems to be, an increasingly hostile and desperate populace.

I've very pleased with this purchase. The shirt provides a great option for carry when an IWB holster just doesn't work for me, such as occasions when I have a dress shirt tucked in, and no jacket, such as in church. I got the large holster, and it just fits my Walther PK 380. I'm a pretty big guy, and I normally wear a 3x shirt, but got a 2x in this-works like a charm, no slippage. Just went back and ordered an off-side pouch for extra mags. I intend to add a couple more of these so I have extras/color options. Very well-made shirt, too. Feels like it will last for quite a while.

The overall quality of the shirt was fine. When I placed a weapon in the holster, the back portion of the Velcro area began to pull away from by body and became uncomfortable. I hope this is fixed in future as I would welcome the opportunity to try again.

The t-shirt is thick for an undershirt with a velcro panel under each arm. The "holster" is a wide elastic band on a fabric backer with velcro on it. You can put the holster under either arm and adjust the angle a little because of the velcro. The shirt is comfortable but tight and handles the weight of the weapon without twisting.I just got the holster shirt and tried it out. I carried a compact semi-automatic. The weapon was under my off arm, butt forward for a crossdraw. I wore a tucked in, button up shirt with the tee shirt under, no jacket. The button up shirt is my size not overly large. The test was more to see how comfortable and obvious the carry was than accessibility. A pocket holser would have provided quicker defense access with the way I dressed. However, after the event in the parking lot, I unbuttoned my shirt halfway and that provided as good or better concealment and very fast access.I get hot easily, but wearing the t-shirt under a long sleeve button up shirt for several hours in a car and sitting around a table was very comfortable. The butt of the weapon imprinted slightly at some angles, but did not look "obvious". It was much more comfortable than the leather IWB holsters I have used (I feel them pushing into my side, especially when seated). It provided as good concealment as an IWB holster.I am highly pleased. It is a very good option for concealed carry.

This is a very well built shirt and should last through many wash cycles. I have only used it a few times but I kind of wish that the large Velcro patch was only on one side of the shirt. I am left handed so the extra thickness under my left arm from the patch only ads to the warmth of this already thick shirt.The holster is adequate for the small pistols I plan to use the shirt for, and you can adjust the angle of the holster within a small degree, but the more you angle it forward the higher the likelihood of there being an imprint in your chosen shirt.As for your chosen shirt, it is obvious that the target shirt to be used with this setup is a button up type shirt, you could use it with a tee shirt, but your reaction time would be greatly increased from having to lift your shirt so far to gain proper access to the grip.
