Glock 17 Gen 4, Hide it deep kydex holster, black. I've been carrying this combo in the 3 o clock position. I think my hip is actually swollen from it as well as pretty tender. I've been concealed carrying at work for 2 days straight so far. (I know I said I didn't want to CC at work...) I don't want to break my streak, but I feel like I'm doing a bad job CC. In the mirror, 3 and 4:30~ work, but I can't see 4:30 as well to check if my shirt got pinned behind my grip. The grip can poke a tad in the shirt, especially when bending, but it doesn't really scream gun. At 3 o clock the shirt will kinda settle a bit on the gun. (not 100% sure on 4:30) It doesn't look like a gun as far as I can tell, but about half the time you can tell something is there. (maybe I'm paranoid and overthinking?) I'm not really sure if the grip ever prints from the finger side (really making it look like a gun, I assume), however the shirt kind rests on the backstrap side.
I've also noticed my arm is just about always touching my gun. I even elbowed the sights a time or two, which was a bit painful. Back to positions real quick. 3 o clock is nice to sit and drive with, while 4:30~ I'm laying/sitting on a gun and can't see if I'm printing. Maybe if I sit in a chair and slide my back a bit, it will move my shirt in a way that shows my CC more then needed? (I noticed this with my other holster when getting in and out of my car)
Lots of people at my work are into guns and some CC and some CC on work, then there are people that do know about guns, but are not gun people as far as I know and I work with them mainly...
Here's are some parts where I messed up, because of my habits. I'm not sure if my gun showed at all in either of these cases, or it anyone saw... I usually use my shirt as a rag as I get dirty at work... I went to pick up my shirt and wipe something off my arm or face and realised what I was doing. Another time I was using a air gun to blow myself off and I blew up my shirt a bit and kinda freaked out slightly? I'm doing a pretty bad job at CC right?
Every once in a while I try to see if I can see "that person" print or anything. Usually I don't see anything. One time they showed me and I was blown away and had no idea.
I've got a shield 9mm and just got a CYA hoslter in for it, (very similar to my hide it deep) but I haven't shot my shield since I had issues putting it back together. (I put the slide back on without the sear deactivated and it took me some time to fix it and I'm not sure if I messed anything up) Idk if I should take a break from CC or continue with my G17 or take a chance with my shield that I'm also not that good at shooting. (it's only got about 65 poor shots though it)
