Printing problem. Gun coming uncovered.

[seldon14]

I'm carrying an M&P Shield (living in IL had the advantage of hot carry guns being much easier to find in a state without carry) in a Foxx Hybrid Holster (Cross Breed style holster). It conceals well under a T-Shirt but the problem is my shirt always catches on it when I reach over my head, or stoop to the ground. Any advice or tips on ways to avoid this other than wearing baggy clothes?

You need to dress around your gun. A standard length t-shirt will do exactly what you describe. There are 'long' length t-shirts with a longer back that will solve your problem, similarly there are also long length polo-shirts if you want a slightly dressier look.

Take a look at the Duluth Trading Co. website. They sell long length stuff to cover up "plumbers crack" and will have what you need.

Blackhawk concealed carry shirts conceal well if you don't want a baggy shirt. I find they work well but are around $30-$40. I picked up an old navy fleece that isnt too baggy and conceals anything I carry for around $16 you can wear it over anything.

I've had this same problem since I started carrying, and am now also carrying a Shield. I found that the shirts from Duluth are designed for older guys and aren't just going to be longer, they're more baggy all-around. Assuming you are a younger guy, I'd recommend checking out this line of t's from Urban Outfitters: BDG Crew-Neck Tee - Urban Outfitters
They're cut a little longer than normal but still fit well everywhere else. Threadless shirts are usually cut a little longer, too. T-shirts and other products designed by an artist community of 2 million | Threadless

You must now start wearing Hawaiian shirts everywhere you go. Sunglasses and lei are optional, but add flair to your new wardrobe. Socks with sandals is a line you should not cross.

Similar to the Hawaiian shirt idea, I wear a unbuttoned loose shirt over my T Shirt. This way I can keep the T shirt tucked in too, which is much more comfortable for IWB. Sometimes I wear a very light, loose fitting hoodie jacket instead of a button shirt. Either way, access to the gun is much better than trying to lift up a long T Shirt.

Hot carry guns? Like stolen?

Chicago does like to accuse Indiana of being the source of all of their gun crime....

Buy TALL man's shirts. Typically, they are 2-4 inches longer than a regular one. I also buy mine a size bigger, helps prevent printing.

Carhhart Tall sizes have plenty of extra length to cover. I wear a 2XLT and hide a Springfield XMD 5.25 IWB with no imprinting.

Also, check out casual male stores for tall clothing. They are pricey though. A better option is King Size online. i order stuff from them all the time. At 6'5", 300 lbs, i have to.
