Printing Issue

Good evening gentlemen, and happy Memorial day.

I carry a P239 and do a pretty good job of hiding it. However, my spare magazine holder prints more than my gun. No matter where I try to wear it, it always sticks out. I know a spare mag printing is no bug deal but I'd like to keep everything streamlined. I'm using a black hawk mag holder right now but am looking for something a bit more slim and more comfortable. What are you guys using? The one comp-tac makes look good, anybody using those?

thanks,

Teif
 
You can always put it in a knife pouch.

I wear my reload behind my Leatherman. Works great as a decoy and you cant see the reload from the front, even when I pull the Leatherman out.
 
I haven't tried one yet, but the tuckable IWB mag holders made by CrossBreed look interesting. Their SuperTuck Deluxes ride pretty low, which helps the concealment of my P239. I'm hoping their mag pouches are similar. The only thing I'd worry about, though, is having both a gun and mag holder riding IWB -- may need to get bigger pants and/or belt...
 
I carry a Sidekick dbl. mag. pouch when I feel the need for an extra mag. I keep my cell, or light in one compartment, and a mag in the other. Nobody knows what is there but me. Although printing is a big no no here, if you really think about it, any normal person, with no CHL won't think twice about a small bulge on youre hip. When I 1st got my CHL all I did was worry about a small bulge, or printing. But it could be anything, cell phone, colostomy bag, knife, leatherman, flashlight, just to name a few things people carry like that.
 
All those sound like great ideas, thanks guys. As for the pocket carrying, I'm one of these weirdos who cant stand to have stuff in my pocket. Half of the stuff my GF luggs around in her purse is mine :)
 
I'd agree with the others,carry it in/beside the leatherman case.I would suspect that Most people would think that is what it is anyway.
 
Printing through you clothes

In the summer, when we don't ware jackets Printing can be a problem.
I usually ware a polo shirt. That means there is a print through. I don't care.
As long as somebody doesn't go to a store manager and scream "That man has got a GOOON".
One way I get around printing is to ware a conventional button up shirt that is too large. It works!

I agree, I could have a batman utility belt on, and you would never know.
