Shirts that work best for not printing

Good question, AIWB with a spare mag at 7 o’clock
I never did AIWB in the 8 years I carried legally.

I recently did buy 2 IWB holsters and tried apendix but ONE of them seems to push the mag well out too much for my comfort, the other one the Holosun Comp is sticking up a bit. if I take out the holosun seems I will be fine .

my preferred method is 4 oclock and I tried IDPA that way and liked it. I will agree AIWB seems a hair faster on the draw, I do not recall anyone else carrying at 4 like I was, most were carrying apendix.

I carried 4 o’clock for a week it was way more comfortable however I felt like I had to wear a hoodie or a button down
 
I once heard someone say, “Only person that will notice printing is someone trying to fight me, or F me… And I’m down for both!”

I’ve never sized up a shirt, but have also never worn skin tight t-shirts. Whether I’m 160 or 185, I’ve always worn a size Large. For the past 20+ years. Never had an issue with printing. Lately my wife likes me in Bylt shirts. They’re thick and flow well. Only issue I’ve had is shirts sticking to my gripy grips. By I’m very conscious to fix it I’ve bent in any direction for it to stick. AIWB carry btw.

It’s all in the belt and holster. Blue Alpha Hybrid Cobra belt and a few brands of quality Kydex holsters for me

full size 1911 +2 spare mags with these, I never adjusted my pants again and the belt did not have to squeeze the hell out of me. if I don't carry size S polo worked, while carrying only one size up (M) no white or really clear colors. the other suspenders with clip ons or elastic bands just did not work at all.

Yes I agree with belt I had a vedder belt also I felt it worked well just uncomfortable when bending at the waist. The new belt I got form tier 1 concealed belt with elastic band in the back seems to be a better fit for me as of now

Pendletons work well because they are a loose, square-cut and wool plaids do a good job of camouflaging tell tale printing lines. The same is true for Hawaiian shirts in warmer weather.
 
Guarantee you this is a fantasy, majority of people have no idea what nine line means, 90% of people with the shirt probably aren't carrying (only 1% or less of the CA population has a CCW let alone daily carries always) and 99% of people are oblivious to everything around them/don't care. The 1% of gun autists that would check you out that hard aren't gonna do anything
