I say carry deep. Keeps a low profile for you, doesn't let your opponent know you are armed and with what which is an advantage, doesn't risk some pyscho freaking out and calling the cops, and nowadays the sight of a gun can even prompt someone to attack you to get the gun as we have seen in Portland.Question pretty much in the subject, obviously we try to minimize printing, but to a point, how much does it matter?
It seems like with the exception of some LE, only people who'd notice and recognize printing are those who carry themselves, so do you really worry about it?
Is there a legal issue with printing? If I want to wear an OWB holster that's pretty flat/tight but my t-shirt catches on the handle a bit, is this really an issue for EDC use you think?
Looking for genuine opinions.
Yes, I have an IWB holster, but I find it gives me a bit of rash when worn where I like it. I've only worn in IWB so far but my OWB is vastly more comfortable but definitely more noticeable to anyone who'd look.
There also of course, other things one could add such as a lightweight windbreaker for extra concealment, but this would be a bit silly in the summer.
To me the only advantage of not carrying deep would be comfort. And this can be offset by having a comfortable holster. But everyone has different preferences, those are just my preferences.
