Whether you're going to use it for Concealed Carry, workout shirt, or just as a comfortable undershirt, this is really the perfect product. Obviously, compression shirts are a little expensive, but for the price, it seems really high quality. I was very excited to try on this shirt. I usually wear a 2XLT (I'm a pretty big guy), but I went a size small to prevent my gun from drooping. My Every Day Carry is a Springfield XD 45, with a 4in barrel. Its not the best gun for concealed carry, but my options are occassionally limited and I wanted a concealed carry shirt for the warmer weather (in the fall and winter I wear a shoulder holster rig, but that is difficult to conceal when it is warm) I bought this shirt to carry my new Taurus TCP 738, but I was amazed at how versatile it was. I can easily carry either gun, or both and two magazines for each. Obviously, that heavily loaded, there is some bulging, but that's to be expected. One gun, and one magazine, tucked in, under a light shirt and you really can't tell. The pockets are secured by velcro and allows me the option of a semi-horizontal carry, or completely tucked under the arm and verticle. Note for anyone considering carrying this way, cross draw can really slow your draw time. With this shirt, your weapon is tucked further under your arm, and you have to slip your hand under the flap and break through the velcro. I'm used to cross draw, its my prefered way to carry, but I even needed to practice to get a consistent draw speed. Buyer beware of that. I wear the shirt under my dark shirts at work (I wear a suit) and it is extremely comfortable, and the compression and fabric keep me cooler (than regular undershirts like cotton or poly, suck in my gut a little, and keeps my back straight. I'd buy more of these shirts just for that reason, and for the versatility of easily carrying after work without strapping on a holster. Also, the shirt, even a size smaller and not a tall size, is a perfect length, and stays tucked in well. I really like this shirt and plan to buy more. The only draw back to this style of shirt (I don't know if its specific to the 5.11 brand, is that the pockets press against the skin on the side of your chest, and the stitching and seams take some getting used to. Mine felt a little itchy at first, only because I've never worn a shirt like this. I am quickly getting used to it, and really do love this shirt. Buy it, wear it, and enjoy.
04/19/13 Update: I've worn this shirt several times, washed and dried it, and still love it. The only issue I've had with this shirt is that I was at a barbecue, bent over, and my gun fell out. Luckily, no one was around to see it, but I wasn't happy. My 45 XD, fully loaded, is pretty heavy, and the small velcro patches just can't hold up to that much pressure. I still love the shirt, and I will still definitely use it for this gun, I just have to be more careful.
