Guntee Concealed Carry T-shirt
Hopefully the Texas Legislature will consider and then enact Open Carry in Texas in the next session (if you live in Texas and believe that “shall not infringe” means exactly that in the second amendment, please sign the petition to urge the Texas State Legislature to pass Open Carry in Texas).
Until then, I’m always looking for better and more comfortable ways to conceal carry.
My new sleevless Guntee Concealed Carry T-shirt arrived in the mail today.
Quite a few of my biker friends highly recommended this shirt as a comfortable way to conceal carry, especially while riding as a rider’s vest perfectly conceals the weapon.
The shirt is a heavyweight cotton shirt with reinforced seams and the conceal patch is hand made to protect your side.
My Springfield XD .45 ACP Compact (w/ 5″ barrel) is a hefty conceal hand gun, and probably about as big as you really want to go with this t-shirt.
Worn under another larger t-shirt, polo, or button down shirt the weapon was even better supported and the printing was very minimal. I wore it to run a few errands today (beneath a black t-shirt) and I doubt anybody was able to tell or know that I was carrying a concealed handgun.
The shirt is available in black or white (but they are all sleeveless) and the conceal patch can be made for left- or right-hand draw.

My t-shirt conceal patch was not big enough initially to fully hold my .45 — the trigger guard was too wide for the opening. However, the pouch is sewn with a triple seam, so I just removed the inner seam which was just enough to allow my weapon to be fully seated.
My weapon feels secure and it was easy enough to lift my outer shirt to draw the weapon quickly from the pouch.
For day-to-day carry — especially since I ride everywhere I go — I think this might be a good alternative to many waist/belt holsters for a lot of people. I’ll have to give it a try for a few weeks before deciding (I bought two, the other in white).

That handgun rides about where my Uncle Mike’s harness does, and the harness holster distributes the weight over a wider area.
Still, the Guntee looks like a good alternative for some.
I highly recommend placing the gun in a tank bag, while riding. That would be rough on the ribs, if you had to get off.
Also, never-never-ever carry in the small of your back. Too many officers are paraplegics, from that type of carry, before the word got out.
Robbie,
How does the size run for this shirt? I noticed the website said it runs larger than normal.

Ugh Robbie…you look kinda scary in those photos. Like you’re some crazy gun carrying Republican or something. HaHa.
Thanks for the great tip ,i just recieved mine and am very satisfied.You were right on the money saying to order smaller than you actually wear, my GLOCK 23 fits very well, and i can jam a spair mag in as well, again thnx for the tip
I bought a shirt at a bike show. I rode one time to try the shirt. I loved it so much that i bought two more just in case they quit making them at some point. I usually carry my weapon in the saddle bag, but i am sure when it is needed, the other person is not going to wait for me to dig it out. Guntee is an excellent investment and a comfortable carry for even all day riding.
This is a colossal piece of shot product.
This is a colossal piece of shit product.
I guarantee you’ll never get to that gun in time. Possibly the worst piece of shit placement I’ve ever seen.
As it turns out, I don’t wear these t-shirts for concealed carry. Not because of accessibility issues, rather they just don’t secure the handgun well enough.
But you’d be quite surprised how quickly you can access you gun from this t-shirt with — like most holsters — a little practice.
