My Goodies Arrived Today

My Glock 22 just received new presents: a Wilderness Tactical Frequent Flyer Belt, and a CTAC slide holster. I'm wearing both under my T-shirt (untucked right now), and I have yet to see it print. If the family doesn't spot it, I may be good to go when the plastic arrives.

So far, so good. Wore the Glock under the T-shirt for a while, and nobody was the wiser in the house. I can see how a good belt can make all the difference.

I've also got a Glock 22, and when I carry mine I use a 1.5" Kydex-lined leather belt from Comp-Tac and a Comp-Tac Minotaur IWB holster (with C-clips). The weapon stays nice & snug at 4:00 but is also easily retrievable if the situation calls for it...

I have a Glock 19 that I carry in a C-Tac. I may the only one on this forum to say this, but it is very uncomfortable to me. The only way I can keep from printing is to wear it at about 2 to 3 o'clock.

The 2 o'clock position is comfortable as long as I don't try to sit which puts the muzzle into my groin or leg. The 3 o'clock position which rides on the hip bone is uncomfortable as it feels as my guts are being cinched out in trying to keep my trousers up.

I've tried the 4 o'clock position, which is comfortable, however it prints so bad one would think I was carrying a Howitzer.

thank God, sometimes I have the same issue with my CTAC, but I know it's because I have a cheap belt. It's a nice jeans belt from Cabela's, but it's not really a gun belt. The holster itself is fantastic, and comfortable enough. I know my problems will go away with a good belt, because it only gets uncomfortable when the belt sags and the holster is able to change positions a little. I just haven't gotten around to ordering one yet. That may solve your problems too.

I also carry my G19 and G30 in C-tacs.
Neither one prints much. Some shirts hide guns better than others.

If you haven't already, try swapping the leather tabs around on the holster. That makes it ride lower in the pants, making the gun print less. The downside is - you might not be able to get a good grip on the gun when drawing.
