| I just received my supertuck for my P9 yesterday. I am currently carrying it in the 5 o clock position. I find that when I sit down the back of my shirt rides up and "holds" onto the grip of the gun. When I stand up the shirt just stays there openly displaying the fact that I'm carrying. Does anyone else have this issue? |

I use an MTAC, but the design is almost exactly the same. Like ExEagle said, try moving the holster more to the 3:30-4:00 position.
You should find this more comfortable and it conceals much nicer. I also use a forward cant to put the grip in a position more in line with my body. |
| I don't know about the supertuck or the m|ctac, but I do know the summer carry. The FBI cant helps bigtime, I assume it will be similar for other IWB's with the same forward cant. At 5:30, it puts the grip right up my side, and I don't seem to have an issue with "ride up" even in wind (Boulder Valley ~ Boulder, CO where winds are horrible). |

Also you might want to hit the leather with mink oil to soften it up. Makes break in much more comfortable. I mink oil my supertuck horsehide every day for 2 weeks then once a week after that. Makes it all soft and comfy.
Also, once I started CC, I found I had to dress for the carry. Bigger pants, bigger shirts in order to prevent printing. It's a learning process. |

It gets rid of all worries of flashing someone or printing. |

What everyone said above . . . try moving forward to 3:30-ish.
Also: - I think soft-material shorts such as silk make the situation worse. - Do you have a rubber slip-on grip, or something similar, on the gun? I think that will cause the shirt to "stick" to the gun. But even without those issues, I think you'll still have this problem with the gun at 5:00. It's not really a "problem" per se, though, as long as you remember to just give the shirt a little tug when you stand up. |
