So in anticipation of receiving my CC permit, I purchased two 5.11 holster shirts, one black and one white. At the time I only had my Walther PPK/s. The shirt is perfect when concealment is more important than a fast draw. Depending on what you're wearing over it, the draw is very slow and awkward...but when hiding it is what counts, the shirt does the job perfectly. I can wear just about any comfortable to loose fitting top, and the shirt holds the gun tightly next to my body. It turns out I am even able to carry my full-sized SW99 .40 at times!In fact, the full frame fits better and is easier to draw, however the longer grip creates a bigger hump in front, so the shirt needs to be looser. It was designed for carrying under a dress shirt, and it also works well for carrying under a sweater/sweat shirt. I've also found it works under a loose t-shirt, if for instance you're wearing gym shorts with no belt.
I now mainly wear it for deep cover CC, and for my back-up if I'm openly carrying. The only real negative thing I can say about it is that the white shirt is almost see-through, so your skin tone shows through...
