"Gun printing" through clothing can easily be eliminated. Here are the top three ways:
- Don't wear skin-tight pants. Besides gaining mobility and comfort, you'll also conceal your gun better. This is kind of an obvious point.
- A less obvious technique is to carry your gun on the inner thigh and below the hip-line-of-flexure (your body's center hinge). Anything on the outside of a radius will "print." Cell phone "print" and wallet "print" are commonplace. Gun "print" can be disguised and hidden on the inner thigh contours. Again, you will gain mobility, but even more so, you'll be comfortable all-day-long carrying concealed. There won't be any binding or pinching on your waistband. And your gun won't be muzzling anything. For more info, study the CCW Breakaways patented holster-pockets approach to concealed carry clothing.
- And finally . . . install a "shield" or a barrier between your pants outer layer of fabric and your pocketed gun. A thin layer of plastic will smooth over the high points of the gun and eliminate the "printing" profile of the gun. You can buy CCW Breakaways Anti-Print-Shields on this site.
