I used to only carry when I went into the city, but after all of these protests, I have been carrying every time I leave the house. I carry a PPQ, and I just can't get over the feeling like I'm printing enough for everyone to notice. I pay a lot of attention to everyone, and have seen a good bit of people carrying. I am aware that most people are too oblivious to notice, but I'm tired of checking my shirt every time I move one way or the other.

How long did it take yall to stop worrying about printing when carrying?

I still feel like everyone can tell, but at this point I don't really care anymore. Like you said, most people are too oblivious to notice.

How are you carrying it.

I used to carry a Glock 23 IWB at the 4 o'clock position with no problem.

Now I carry a Glock 43, still at the 4 o'clock position.

I don't use a holster. Less bulk without and gun sits tighter to body without it.

I need a retention holster because I'm constantly moving up and down, side to side. My gun would fall out 10x a day if I didn't have one

Yeah, luckily the Glock 43 snugged up tight by my belt doesn't move for me.

But I know some that like using a slide clip with a kydex trigger guard which gives you the same low profile.

Not in the front.

a pistol without a holster pointing at my junk is a no go for me.

At 4 or 5 o'clock due to the contour of my butt if it did go off it would do very little damage.

Most people are oblivious. If they notice...who cares?

This.

If I were you I wouldn't worry that much about printing a little.

I've been carrying for over 15 years and I still constantly check.

Yeah, every time I move one way or another, I am reaching around to make sure my shirt is pulled down just perfectly

I've found that the best way for me is to carry appendix. It prints the least for me, and I can just glance down and make sure my shirt isn't hung without turning around and making a big deal about it.

I think most people aren't paying attention, and they're are least likely to look at the front of your waste band than behind

I tried appendix for about two minutes and decided it wasn't for me. It's either digging into your stomach or digging into your leg. Plus, I don't like guns pointed at the baby maker

I'm not fat and carry at 5 o'clock. My back/shoulders are big, so my shirt covers it. That's only when I'm standing up straight though. Some people carry at 3, and I have no idea how. I guess that's how fat guys carry, because they can't reach too far backwards or forwards

That is not a good idea by any measure.
