Still following our basic criterion for review:
1. Comfort
2. Concealability
3. Mode of dress
4. Speed of access
Alright, the newest (so far as I know) concealment item out there is the concealment t-shirt. To explain this isn't really easy, but I'll try.
Imagine a standard undershirt, made of rather elastic (but not suffocatingly tight) material with a sling/pouch under the left arm for your weapon to slip in to. See what I mean? Just awkward to describe.
However, back to the talking points...
The comfort, assuming you purchased the right size and aren't being squeezed to death is pretty good from what I've heard. The weight of your firearm is spread out over the entirety of your left side shoulder and arm and to some extent the scapula and mid back.
The concealability is terrific. All you need is a shirt over the concealment shirt and you're golden. Since the gun lays under your arm, more spefically between your arm and ribs, it won't show unless you're making some wild gesticulations.
Now, the speed of draw is where this one falls short, I believe. To access your weapon you have to unbutton your shirt or reach under it, get some sort of grip on the weapon (and sweep your body as you draw) then draw. It isn't fast and it's pretty obvious what you're doing and you may get jumped in the interim.
Just a consideration
