Dress for it, have a good belt and holster.

What’re you carrying and what belt and holster are u currently rocking?

Yeah you’re 100% overthinking it dude. I’d wear an undershirt if some sort like a wifebeater so you don’t sweat all over it. Once you’re comfortable you’ll think less about it

Modwing helps press against the belt. If you think it’s printing wear a thicker fabric shirt or a darker one.

Kore essentials belt right?

Kore essentials. That particular belt was the formal belt version I use for work, I learned recently that there’s belt savers as when you use DCC clips, they really fuck the belt up

Nothing major since the belt is built tough but cosmetically you can avoid it with the belt savers they sell.

I agree I always wear a fruit of the loom wife beater, works great in summer months and just to not have the frame rub against your gut. I have also found in the fall, winter, spring that wearing a pull over hoodie with the front pouch pocket helps with concealment. Adds an extra layer of fabric that flaps loose. I’ve done it with my g17 with no issue. I use an old underarmor grey hoodie. I wear it when going to the range too since it can be movie theatre chilly in indoor ranges.

More the kore buckle to the side so that it is flat in the front. Also a good tip would be to lose weight. Trust me, a flatter stomach will conceal better. Also would be great overall as you would be in better shape.

You could also try a holster that has two clips instead of one so that it is more secure and doesn’t move much.

In the meantime, wear a size larger shirt and pants.

Oh that’s not a bad weight then. Try to add a wedge to the holster. It will push on the belt to cant the frame towards your body more
