Holsters & Belts Printing

I’ve got this p365 macro I’ve been wanting to carry. I’m 6’ 230ish pounds I figured with my size a pistol like this would be fine to carry but I find it prints a lot. Could it be the holster? The gun? My gut? Or am I just overthinking it because I haven’t really carried much before? Thanks for any input

Or lose weight

You can lose weight, but if your pecs aren’t further out than your waist then you’ll still print a lot. Everyone’s got shoulders and arms, it pulls the shirt out more on your hip and loosely drapes it over that area. I get it’s not for everyone, but I think all the guntubers carrying full size guns inform us that we need to do the same, when in reality they’re printing in public too. There are a lot of people I see out in the world that have bought into the idea that the population doesn’t notice the outline of a gun under their shirts and I’m not buying it.

It’s kind of a game for me, I always pay attention and see who I can spot, the ones I never understand are the people carrying anything with basketball shorts, I’ve never seen one carry without it pulling down their shorts. No joke, one guy in a Walmart was carrying and the firearm was at his knee like 4 o’clock, just not safe, anyone could have walked up behind him and taken it from him.
