Looks like a good setup to me! Make sure that you wear a good gun belt. It makes a lot of difference on how the gun carries.

Just curious, but whats the difference in a gun belt vs a regular belt? Once my wife gets un-pregnant, we plan to get our chl.

Gun belts are stiffer and more rigid. Regular belts will start to sag and will get deformed. If you take a regular belt that you wear daily and lay it out flat you will see what I mean about getting deformed and sagging. Gun belts do not do this because they are designed to give better support and support the extra weight.

It is night and day from carrying with a non gun belt. http://ffrholsters.com/product/edc-low-profile-belt/

I wear a Wilderness tactical instructor 5 stitch gun belt. Awesome belt! I have worn this belt daily carrying or not for about 6 years with no sagging or deformation at all. Just recently purchased a new one because the velcro was worn out.

I wear a 5.11 gunbelt. Only 5.11 product I own, but its great. Nylon with a kydex insert (I think) velcro buckle.

I highly recommend a long tail undershirt tucked in with a rigid outer shell/shirt for the best comfort and concealment. My favorite outer shells are these: http://www.dickies.com/shirts/tactical-v...12&start=71

That's a fine EDC setup. I would suggest you also carry flashlight somewhere on your person. I carry a little Streamlight Protac 2L thats 260lumen and small enough to clip inside a pocket. You'll use it more often than you think.

You'll use it more often than you think. I made fun of my cousin for having a flashlight clipped on his pocket. He said try it, you will use it all the time. I bought a little Streamlight (uses 1 AAA battery), and he was more than right. I use it way more than the knife I carry daily.

I have the exact same setup. I like the alien gear so far and love the shield
