So I learned an important lesson about concealed carry over the weekend. When your shirt is in between the heel of a 1911 and 1000 denier Cordura nylon, chances are there's going to be some damage done. I carry at about the 5 o'clock position in a Crossbreed Supertuck and it just never occurred to me that this would happen. It didn't feel like it was rubbing and we only walked around for two hours! The next day I had to carry at 3 o'clock and that took care of the problem. Just hate that I completely ruined a shirt. On the plus side, my Tactical Tailor Urban Operator Pack shows absolutely no signs of wear.

Quoted:
"Carry melds" take all of the rough and/or sharp spots off of a pistols exterior so that one's clothing and body do not get torn up. My Kimber CDP's have them and do not tear clothing. This plus having a MSH without checkering. Smooth, serrated and even golfballed MSHs alleviates the shredding of outer garments. As non-traditional as it looks, a bobbed or rounded MSH is very practical for concealed carry. |

I've been carrying a 1911 for three or four years and this is the first time I've had something like this happen. Worn some holes in a couple of pairs of jeans, but never ripped a shirt. |

These things happen. Just wait till you get tears or marks in your car seats or computer chair In the gun shop where I work you should see our computer chair in the back where we call everyone in, all of us are right handed and our old chair had a wear spot completely worn into the padding inside of it on the right side from everyone's pistols. The new one is only a couple months old and showing signs of wear in the same spot.
Even smooth polymer pistols will do it eventually, it's just a "pressure point" sticking out causing more than normal stress on the fabric. Just another part of carrying a handgun everyday

Ive got holes in a whole bunch of Polo shirts from carrying a 1911  . But nothing that dramatic. Usually just a pin hole here and there around the 3 oclock area.
Just nature of the beast. Yeah, I've had that happen as well. The wife kind of flipped when she saw this one though. |
