An inevitable part of concealed carry is printing and learning how to avoid it. The result of gear and clothes that just aren’t working together, printing can ruin any concealed carrier’s day; but with a few tips and tricks, concealed carriers can escape the printing problem and be on the way to comfortable, successful concealment.
What is printing?
The term printing is a simple way of saying that the outline of the firearm is visible through clothes or the cover garment while concealed carrying. The goal of concealed carry is to keep the gun hidden from sight, so printing is problematic as it signals to those around you that there’s a gun in the midst.
Printing is often the result of clothes that are too tight or aren’t quite practical for concealed carry purposes. Whites tend to showcase a concealed gun more than darker clothes and skin-tight attire doesn’t leave much room to house a gun and holster; but there are other means to break up the outline of a gun and they don’t require wearing oversized sweatshirts. To ditch printing and better conceal carry your gun, try out some of these tips.
Tip #1: Invest in a good holster/belt combo

    I have Keltec 3AT that Keep in my “holdster”
    Holdster
    For more information, please also visit the web site at http://www.artofthehide.com

    The Holdster is a leather holster for your small semi-automatic pistol. It is designed to be “worn” on your gun and carried in your pocket. Each Holdster is fitted to a specific model of gun as the tension of the leather actually holds the gun in place during carry and shooting. The squared shape serves a couple of functions: To give the gun a wallet shape and to keep the gun from rotating in your pocket. The spacer between the leather, under the slide and the trigger guard, is a lightweight, high density foam that fills out the wallet shape and acts as a cushion if you choose back pocket carry as I do. The Holdster is available for these models: Kel-Tec P-32, NAA Guardian .32 & .380, LW Seecamp .32 & .380. Autauga MK II .32 The most popular material is top grain cowhide in black or brown, however, many other skins and colors are available. Base price is $45 + shipping for the cowhide style.

    I carry wearing shorts, flip flops, and a tanktop tucked under my belt, and no one knows it’s there in my right rear pocket.
