Tru-SpecMen's 24-7 Series Short Sleeve Concealed Holster Shirt

I can give you some comparisons of the 5.11 model vs. TRU-SPEC 24-7 model as I own both models.First you must realize they are both made of compression type material, which may or may not need to be gotten used to based on the individual.I wear XL when buying Tee shirts or general wear shirts so this will be the baseline for my notes. .I am 5'11" tall, 40 waist, 31" inseam, 204 lbs.My preferred CCW weapon is a Springfield XDS - 45 ACP with Crimson Trace Laser guard.XL in 5.11 fits perfectly, snug as it was designed and very comfortable. 2X was too large and a bit sloppy.Velcro retention in the compartment openings to help secure firearm which is a great option.The Velcro does wear out after time so always be aware when bending over.Firearm sat above 3" above belt line when worn.XL in TRU-SPEC 24-7 was a bit loose compared to the 5.11 and the handgun sit much lower actually interfering with my belt. I purchased another in the LARGE size thinking that a tighter shirt would resolve the issue which it did not. It still sat low and touching the belt causing pinching at times.The deepness of the pockets may be due to the fact there are no retention Velcro at the pocket openings.The Large was a better fit for me where the XL was best for me in the 5.11 modelBoth products are made extremely well. No complaints with either product in that area.Sizing is a bit different on each so I suggest you go for the tighter fit if you purchase TRU-SPEC.The 5.11 seemed a bit better in sizing fit for my stature. I like that both are extra long and it was a good thinking by both manufacturers.They are both great products, and I hope I was able to give you some field tested stats and evaluations based on actual use.My choice of CCW carry may have been an issue on the TRU-SPEC due to weight. As always, check out the products and make an informed decision when purchasing

I'm short, but have broad shoulders, so I ordered the large. While the arms and chest fit properly (armpits and top of pocket in correct location), and the length is good, the holster pockets are bad. The pockets ride so low that anything heavier than a little .380 rides down near your waistband. My SP101 2.25" .357 pulls the pocket down OVER my waistband. I'll grant you that deep concealment scenarios for which something like this is designed don't call for .357 wheelguns or 1911s, but the pockets don't need to be so deep for single-stack 9s or .380 "mouse guns".Added photo to show how low the pocket is on a a Leprechaun. Weapon is a Sig P238 (tiny .380)

I have purchased this, the AC Undercover  AC UNDERCOVER Men Concealment Crew Neck Shirt. WHITE Concealed Tactical REF 511 (Black, X-Large) , and the 5.11  5.11 Tactical Holster V-Neck Shirt, Black, Large .This and the 5.11 are very comfortable without pistol. But they position the pistol differently. The AC uses stiff elastic and is much less comfortable.The 5.11 puts the pistol more rearward. With my arm at my side, the slide is pinched between my bicep and chest and is uncomfortable when carrying. To be comfortable, you need to be built like an Egyptian statue (broad shoulders and narrow chest so that there is a gap between your arms and chest when your arms are hanging straight down).The TRU-SPEC shifts the pistol slightly forward so that the slide is in front of my bicep. This is very comfortable. The problem is that this shifts the grip to the front of my chest where it prints through even a loose heavy shirt. This is particularly true with a subcompact because the grip is at the lowest rib and I no longer have huge pectorals that would protrude over it. A larger pistol (e.g., Shield or double stack compact) might print less because the grip would be a bit higher. In theory, this would be great for someone with huge pecs and a pistol sized so that the grip nestles under a pec. Otherwise, an open jacket should be worn over a shirt to further conceal.

I love this shirt. I have even worn it with my full size 1911. I wouldn't reccomend it on just that. But mid to small size automatic handguns would be perfect for deep concealment. Do NOT use this for revolvers with a hammer! I tried this with a. 38 special colt revolver and it hung up on the fabric. My 1911 has the round hammer so it did fine on retrieval. My .38 police positive Colt hung up. I am quite sure that amount of time trying to retrieve it would be the difference in life or death. Use a loose shirt or it with show. This shirt is also very snug. Like bike shorts are. This comes in handy when you want to look a little slimmer. This is the main reason I bought this shirt. I had gastric sleeve surgery in 2016. I had a tummy tuck at the end of last year. But I still have flabby man boobs (insurance won't pay to fix this. This shirt helps cover the lose skin up there. I was going to where a compression shirt and then I found these! They work great to make me look better, and can also serve as holsters or extra stuff to carry. I bet you could smuggle skittles into theaters also. lol

I use these for travel and securing valuables. I prefer the Tru Spec version over 5 11 only for the pockets . I find Tru Spec are a little deeper and therefore more secure for my needs. With a gun it would depend on the size and weight I assume.Con:Not sure about durability. I heard a stitch rip the first time I took it off and it tight anyway so taking it off will always put stress on the seams. We shall see.Otherwise YEAH great.

It's a good shirt and comfortable. My pistol sits a little lower than I'm used to. Still have to pay attention to what you're wearing because you can still print. It's a good option when you have to dress up a little, and you're trying to figure out how you're going to carry without telling the world. I carry a compact 9 mm for CCW. It doesn't really work well with my full frame without printing.

Gute Qualität, ist schon das 2te Shirt dieses Herstellers, das 1te war weiß. Trägt sich gut. Aber leider ist der Preis etwas geschmalzen.

As described, keep in mind it is a compression fit and the sizes were accurate
