I just purchased a S&W mp9c. I would assume Id need SMALL? I usually wear 2x so should I go to the xl and a v-neck or full?

I am a 2x shirt and the 2x v neck works well for me . Size seems to run true . Enjoy , I am

I would think the XL V-neck. Having said that, you should consider the weight of the pistol. If its on the heavy-side, i would go with the full neck - it will provide more support.

buy the size you normally wear . it will be snug. I personally like the V-neck.

Neck Size only if you are using a bolt action is what I hear. I shoot semi-auto, and as such I always full length resize. I've heard you can sometimes get away with neck size on auto's, but you have to be mindful of the shoulder on the neck of the cartridge is not set too far back; generally the gun should not go into battery if this is an issue, but also cases might fail to extract. Also, only neck size cases intended to be fired from the exact same gun the cases were retrieved from.

Hello. Sorry for the late reply. I would suggest you get one size larger then what you wear. You can wear the shirt as a stand alone (meaning by itself), but if you have combat gear, bullet resistance/proof vest, or other add on shirt/gear, it would be recommended to get one size larger then what you normally wear. Especially in cold climates or environment, wearing a shirt underneath this or over it. I usually wear a large, but because I wash my clothes a lot over periods of months and wear other shirts under it or sometimes over it, I end up wearing/purchasing X-Large. Does that make sense? Hope that helps. If not, let me know, I can try to further clarify. Thanks for asking. Hello. Sorry for the late reply. I would suggest you get one size larger then what you wear.

I love this shirt! I got it because it is very fitted - a different style than most Columbia shirts. I am 5'5" and 145 lbs. I bought a Medium because I like the fitted look. I have worn a sleeveless Tee underneath. the shirt is also cut up slightly at the sides, with a bit longer tail and front, not the style generally tied at the waist. If you definitely want to wear the shirt that way, I would recommend the Larger size. Hope this helps!

I would recommend a small. It will provide you a good tight fit without a lot if excess belt getting in your way.

I'm pretty comfortable saying the large and XL will, but if you want to make certain contact Eric at Revelate Designs. He is extremely helpful. I love every bit of gear I've gotten from them.

Opinion from a police officer.I completely disagree with the majority of these replies. My main carry was a XD 45 ACP, a significantly larger double stack weapon. I just bought a 9mm Shield. It fits perfectly in my 45 holster, but is a little loose. Just keep in mind, although the Shield is single stack, it can fit just fine in a holster designed for a larger weapon. Just not the other way around. Expect the fit to be slightly loose. As some mentioned, you can increase the tightening screws. I would also consider making your own mods such as soft velcro on the inside to increase tension against the weapon. If you don't run around and hang upside down with your carry, you should be alright. Opinion from a police officer.I completely disagree with the majority of these replies.

I would recommend a medium. But it still may be tight. You might need to break it in a bit.

It comes down to this: What do you normally wear? Think of it like this: If you were going to Walmart to buy a Tshirt-style undershirt to wear under your clothes-a good quality shirt, not some flimsy thing-what size would you buy if you like a snug fit? That's what you want in this. I'm a big guy; I'd normally wear a 3x, but I got a 2x in this, and it works great. If you're talking a full-sized 1911, it is going to be heavy, so you need all the hold you can get. Definitely go for the larger holster! I hope that helps.

I think a medium will likely fit better overall. I'm about the same as you in every way but I'm 5'10"-5'11". I too have broad shoulders for my size. The ONLY issue I have with the medium is that the collar is a bit snug. Still, once wet, it's definitely tolerable. A large may be too big overall given your weight. Just my 2 cents. Hope this helps.

I am a size 40. I let it hang over the hips rather than real tight like a belly band. It has a lengthy Velcro belt. Just remember this works best for automatics smaller than a lc9. My normal carry is a KelTec 380, but my diamondback and my kahr 9 are also good.

Billy, Steven is right, size 3 is the correct size. I own size 1-4. size 2 is to tightand the LC9 will not go all the way into it. Size 2 fits the LCP 380.

I have a 30-32 inch waist depending on how bad my week was (;P) and I bought a small. It has about an inch short of touching one end to the other on me. For a 36" waist, if you want to be able to put stuff very close to your front I'd recommend a large (that's great for, say pistol mags on your strong side). If you really only want this to carry rifle mags on one side and a pistol on the other with maybe a rear dump pouch, medium might give you more leeway (but will probably deny you front real estate). I vote medium but i haven't seen one in-person. FYI the sides are 6 loops wide which equated to a quadruple 2x2 ar mag pouch plus a useless (because my rifle blocked it) 2x1 (2 wide) pistol pouch on the left. I mounted another 2x1 pistol mag carrier on the right along with my holster. Personally I say skip the whole thing and get a drop-leg mag carrier (ie Costa HSGI leg rig) and belt holster (having owned a plate carrier, battle belt, and multiple pouch/holster setups). It works perfectly with a PC (might need a drop leg pistol depending on your sides). Just keep those drop-legs as high as possible. The whole point is to clear your 'gear' which basically means plate carrier in this instance. Good luck.

Yes, that would be correct, a size 2 for a full size 1911 (5 inch barrel). I've carried a 1911 in a X15 rig for years and have no complaints.

Hi...Well I carry a 9mm w/ fairly loose fitting tops and mine is quite noticeable. Another somewhat con is that the band is made with 2 gun slots, either for a left or right hand carry and the strap on the side that the gun is not in pokes out... Ive considered cutting off the strap because its fairly noticeable as well... Maybe its just my gun size, but I wouldnt recommend this band with tight fitting clothing, if your looking to be discreet!

there is a fairly good listing on the versacarry.com web site that may help you figure out which size fits your firearm. the site is user friendly and should be a big help in making your decision. these are inexpensive and comfortable holsters. however, you will need to wear a belt. good luck.

It would depend on your "style" of BPV. If it's a "undershirt" style, you'd be o.k. If it's like our military style with the ballistic plates, you'd be like a swollen tick! You can always go to a nearby sports store and try one on?
