I put the under shirt between the gun and my skin.Mostly because I don't like the idea that,in the crucial moment,Murphy's Law can take effect and cause a snag of the shirt on the holster and not clear it in time.The comfort factor is also a secondary reason.To each his own though,if you practice with a tuckable holster and are proficient,go for it.

.......watch.......an' learn..........
I had those same concerns when I started carrying. That reality is most people are TOTALLY oblivious to what's going on around them. Unless they are staring directly at you when your shirt goes up....they'll never see it. I carry a 380 IWB fairly often with just a tee shirt or golf shirt over it at 3 o'clock. It's certainly not any bigger than a cell phone clipped to your belt.

Undershirt between skin/holster:
Top shirt over both:
Aaaaayyyyyy........!........not bad.......
.......an'a gun ain' too bad,neither......
Uhhhhh.......?.........think ya could go lil' lower on'a 2nd pic?......
..........Thanks!.....How low? Just cottage cheese ass? Or all the way down to blue spider vein leg?think ya could go lil' lower on'a 2nd pic?......
I know, I know...
Haha. Nice looking carry piece JetGirl. What holster is that?
My turn...
Gut left unchecked. Woops.
I think I need a better belt.
Past couple days I've been carrying with my shirt between my skin and holster as opposed to over the holster. Weather has been warmer too, so I'll just let a t-shirt hang over everything or a light jacket. Walked to the store earlier with a button up covering it all, no issues.

Everybody carries a little bit differently.
The real answer? Find what's best for you and then practice it over and over and over and over again.
In the car with your seat belt on. Standing up. Sitting in a chair. Whatever. You can never be too prepared.
For me? I just carry OWB and flip my shirt over it. If I'm in an attire that means tucking my shirt in... Everyone gets to eye ball my Wilsonfield 1911.

Israeli made "Front Line", purchased from 7.62 Precision in Anchorage, Alaska.
It's tuckable, and reversible... but I only ever carry this one way. Here's a link; Deep Concealment Low-Profile Tuckable IWB Holster | Front Line Holsters
That was a pretty good movie.
I think this fits in with this thread, so I will ask here; Is IWB carrying comfortable? It looks to me like it would be totally uncomfortable. Does body type/waist line have an effect on whether it is comfortable or not? I have a 32" pant size and I don't carry any extra weight around my middle and looking at pictures of people with IWB set ups makes me think it would be very uncomfortable to stick a pistol inside the belt line.
I don't currently carry often but when I do it is OWB. Even that is not the most comfortable but I think that is from lack of carrying more to get used to it.
Yeah, that^.
I don't think it's 'uncomfortable' so much as I just... notice it's there. Then again I've got a S&W 4566 so it's not the smallest/lightest gun either. The Galco Holster I've got was designed for a Sig, but I may mix it up and try a different holster, the one JetGirl showed looks decent. Just don't want to spend a bunch trying different holsters :P
I've got a 5.11 woven belt, but I'm thinking a nice thick leather gun belt would be better. The 5.11 gets tight and stays tight... but something about it being fabric makes me question it.

I guess I'm from Missouri on that. I can't imagine having a holster and a hunk of steel shoved between my pants and my bony body. But, hey I'll give it a try sometime when I can.
I have a good gun belt. So, who makes quality IWB holsters? And where can I try some on for size?

Buy that one, you'll never need to buy another IWB holster. Lots of reviews on INGO about it as well.
I have 2 of them, but have switched to carrying Appendix.

There's also this one, https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...-holsters-hybrid-iwb-holster.html#post4423689
I haven't tried it, but it looks to be well made.

This one looks pretty good but I may have realized something. Do you have to buy pants with a larger waist size? I can sitting here now tuck my hand easily inside my waist at the 4 o'clock position. Does this mean I am good to go?
Are there "rules" or suggestions on pant sizing?
