Concealment vest

**punxsutawneypete** · May 29th, 2009, 06:37 PM

Has anybody had any problem with printing while wearing a leather concealment vest? I bought one when I was average size, and then I had to wear it open when I gained a lot of weight. I lost the weight and can wear the vest closed again, but there is a bulge and I don't know if anybody can tell if it's a gun or not. Plus does a western vest create a presumption that you're carrying? Thanks for your help everybody.

Doubt if anybody even notices the bulge.
The only folks who say a vest screams "gun" are gun people. To most, vests scream nothing...
So I suggest you just wear your vest, carry your gun and go about your business

Just don't get the tacticool 5.11 pants to go with it, and you will be fine.

A western vest does not suggest you would be carrying. Wear it in good health.

I wear one all the time, actually its my preferred means of carrying, wear it in good health.
Suggestion time, and it's all a matter of preference, I never wear mine closed because I always thought, if I have to get at my gun, it's just something else in my way if it was snapped closed.
