Anyone ever tried this? I was thinking of a small auto (i.e. Glock 26 or Kahr) or a J-frame on the smallest shoulder holster you could get. Wear it over a t-shirt but under a loose button down shirt. Essentially, the same idea as Kramer's Confidant shirt/holster.

Buzz, I've done it and still do it many times. I've even worn my 1911's this way. A nice way to carry and under the left arm it is very hard to spot. Not the fastest, but seldom is it going to be a fast draw contest.

I used to do it with my S&W M-66 stubbie in a upside down Safariland rig. With the right shirt, it was not visible. If you wear a dress shirt get a heavy one with a little pattern, wear a tie but leave a couple of buttons unbuttoned.

I think Ken Null made a shoulder holster designed for this with a revolver several years ago. He may have one for semi-autos now as well.

Ken Null does.. Its called the USH I think, and is a variation of the City Slicker rig.

One of the ROs at the range I frequent used to carry a Desert Eagle concealed in such a manner (he's also a big fella).

Alessi has been known to make his Bodyguard shoulder rig with a Kydex loop on the off side that attaches to the belt but allows a tucked shirt. Have heard good reports. JLee

Works great as long as you don't mind sacrificing a few buttons practicing. ;)

Sew velcro strip where your shirt buttons up.
Sew up the button holes and fasten the buttons permanently to the closed holes.
It's faster than trying to save your buttons.
