Carrying without printing?

[30-30]

I just got my chl and I'm trying to figure out the best way to carry. I have a Taurus tcp 380 and a cheap uncle mikes inside the pant holster. It's not a bulky setup, but it seems I can't find a spot where it doesn't print when I'm sitting down. Any ideas or advice? Other places to try concealing it? Other holsters? Thanks.

I carry mine at the small of my back. It will take a while but you'll learn to adjust the way you sit to accomodate the carry position

not to hijack, but is it illegal to imprint ?

Yes it is. Concealed means concealed. A person is not to see any part of your gun. Not even a imprint on your tshirt.

Look at a better holster, crossbreed or some other better quality, they are better designed in my opinion.

I care in the small of my back also.

Buy a better holster. The hybrid type like the crossbred work great. I am able to carry a fullsize XD wearing a t shirt and shorts. Play with placement and cant.

good luck

If there is a bulge it could be anything. I seriously doubt its an outline of a gun showing. Dont be paranoid. Wear a size larger shirt.

For sure printing is a bad thing and you can be reported for it, but I don't believe it is a crime. Intentional display is the crime.

I use an Uncle Mike's and carry in my front pocket. Can't tell the difference from a wallet.

Your probably not printing as bad as you think, most people that are new to carrying weapons usaully over think it....

Buy a better holster, hiding a 380 is easy as pie my friend..

Like others have mentioned try a better holster. Also, you will think you are printing much worse than you really are until you get comfortable carrying. I carry a fullsize M&P 9 most days OWB in a kydex holster and depending on the position I am in you might be able to tell but I don't worry about it. Darker shirts/patterned shirts conceal any printing much better than light colored/solid shirts.

Most people do not pay close enough attention to notice a bulge and then recognize it as the butt of your pistol & if they do ask you about it, tell them it is a medical device and go about your way.

Congrats on getting your CHL

I'm a rather big person and I carry a G36 in a Comp Tech IWB holster. I carry on my hip, basically above my wallet. I wear larger shirts and have not had a problem printing.

Carry mine in a" smart carry" (thunder ware) best thing Ive tried. Work and play streching over my head, crawling around in attics crawspaces, climbing ladders etc. Its always concealed.From dress clothes to shorts and a tee. I feel its the best thing out there.
