Concealed Carry Holster Tank Top | Secure Hook & Loop Pocket with Large Storage | Mens Tank Top

I had been looking at this style concealed carry holster for some time and decided to take a chance on this one because of the price. Here is my take on the item:Sizing - I wear XL shirts but went the the XXL for this and am glad I did. The XL would have been too tight.Concealment - The shirt easily conceals larger .380 and small 9mm semiautomatic pistols. I tried a Glock 19 and, while it fit, I didn't think it concealed the pistol very well.Comfort - I wore the shirt all day with a Glock 42 that included a separate slide holster and found the shirt to be comfortable to wear.Hook & Loop closures - The pockets have hook & loop closures that get in the way of drawing a pistol and are not necessary for good retention. I will be doing some modification to remove those fasteners.Weapon security - For firearms I would carry with this I like to have them in their own pocket style holster to protect the trigger. I don't find that this inhibits the drawing of the firearm.I am glad I have this shirt. There are times when other methods of carry do not work well for me and this helps to fill that gap. I also see this shirt as a good value as it is currently $37.88USD here on Amazon.

I really like this concealed carry tank - it's lightweight, fits well, and is very comfortable to wear. As with any type of concealed carrying, you have to have the proper attire on if you want to keep it concealed. I'm including pictures wearing a baggy sweatshirt, one that's a little more fitted, and then a typical t-shirt. This can certainly add some "bulk" to your outfit. Unless you're only wearing a jacket over this, it's going to be a bit difficult to quickly access your firearm - as you have to pull your shirt up far enough to get your hand to the pocket and then grab your weapon. There's nothing built into the pocket to keep it in place so, depending on size, it can move around a little too freely - which can make it more difficult to grab (especially when milliseconds matter). Also, unlike a traditional holster, there's nothing protecting the trigger so, in theory, someone could get their hand on it and discharge without it ever being taken out. You could add a lightweight holster to the pocket to help with both keeping it in place and protecting the trigger (this will add a little to shape and weight for sure - and isn't something I've tried yet). For the magazines they just sink into the pocket and may "clink" together a bit. Since they fall down deep, they can also be harder to access in a quick response. Built-in bands, at least for the magazines, would help. I do really like the general idea and comfort of this tank though and will surely get some use out of it.

The build quality is very good, but the design didn't end up being a viable option for me. I'd also note that the sizing is a bit large. I was right on the borderline between a small and a medium on the size guide. I generally wear a medium in compression shirts, so I went with a medium, but it definitely was not as snug as I would have liked.In terms of build quality, this shirt is very well made. The material is nice and the stitching is good. It does have a lot of padding, which is both a positive and a negative. The positive is that it will provide some protection between your skin and what you are carrying, as well as breaking up the outline on whatever you are wearing over this. The negative is that it adds a lot of bulk and would likely be hot in the summer. Some of the bulk was likely because this shirt wasn't very tight on me, but even when pulled tight, it made me look ... padded.The main reason I rated this as I did was that it simply didn't provide a viable way to conceal for me. I tried with a number of different sized carry options, but even with a dark shirt over the compression shirt, even the small options printed noticeably. Some of this is due to the location where the pockets are on a shirt like this, but some of it was also due to the padding. If you were wearing a dress shirt with snap buttons and a sports coat it might work, but there are still better options for locations to carry.The other reason I deducted a star is that this design doesn't cover and protect the trigger to the point that it couldn't be depressed. This creates the possibility of negligent discharges. Given the bulk of the padding, adding a proper leather or kydex holster isn't really an option.I think this is well made and likely no worse than other holster shirts, but both the printing and the safety concerns make it a non-viable option for me.

Pocket not big enough for 9 mm. Velcro doesn't fasten and sidearm falls out when bending over.

I have become a huge fan of these shirts (I now own 3). This has become my every day carry shirt. I generally wear a suit and button down shirt, this is the first comfortable carry solution I've found that I can wear without a jacket - it really provides deep concealment, no printing (unless you wear very fitted shirts). It may not be as fast a draw as IWB holster, but for me the comfort and concealment is number one, and in my situation the slight extra draw time is something I'm OK with. The padding is great, I forget that I'm carrying my Glock 19. The velcro closure is just enough to hold the firearm in place while allowing for easy (albeit not silent) draw. Highly recommend this product - although you will need a few because they need to be washed after a day's wear and picking up sweat smell. I wear a size larger than my regular size - I tried a Large but it was far too tight. XL is tight enough for me that nothing moves but I don't fell like I'm being strangled!
