Concealment

Concealing a pistol for carry in public may require testing combinations of holsters and clothing, which will all vary depending on where you expect to be and the climate.  In South Florida for example in the summer, it just is not workable to conceal large pistols because you would not be wearing enough clothing to avoid what is called "printing".  Printing is a vernacular term for being able to see the outline or shape of a pistol because the clothing or fabric over it is too light and flexible.  It allows passersby to know you have a firearm which defeats the purpose of concealment.  So in conditions like that, you may be forced to leave your large frame pistol behind and carry something smaller.  Refer to the Holster Guide in your student materials to learn more.  I can recommend other resources if you want to learn more.
