I wear a loose fitting 5.11 or similar style shirt and have never had an issue. And you are right, most people never notice what it right in front of them.Do you mean what do we carry when we leave the house? I don’t carry compact pistols. I carry a FS 1911 in 10mm....on my hip. Occasionally I exchange it for a FS XD in 45. Also on my hip. Both in Blackhawk holsters. Some may argue theres a tactical advantage I may be giving up. But I’ve found people today can’t even see what’s right in front of them, much less what is semi-concealed.
I wear hoodies year round. I tried IWB holsters. No go. When people stop walking into closed doors, light poles, and wishing wells, I might change my tactics. But people have their faces so buried in their phones today they’re never going to notice the bottom 1.5” of my holster sticking out. They’re not going to see it because their priority is in their hand.I wear a loose fitting 5.11 or similar style shirt and have never had an issue.

In my pockets:What's your daily pistol load out? Do you also carry knives? And between just cell phone, keys, and wallet I cannot find room for anything else; so most importantly where to you place your daily load out?
Thanks
Are you asking specifically what pistol people carry or what items they carry on their person on a daily basis? What are you thinking you need to find more room for? I carry my Glock 19 sized pistol, keys, wallet, couple lengths of paracord, lighter, small flashlight (takes a single AA), small multitool, permanent marker and a SOF-TT W TQ. Additional items may be added depending on the destination or activities for the day.What's your daily pistol load out? Do you also carry knives?

The people who it might be worth considering hiding a gun from aren't the ones with their faces in their phone. It's people who are used to seeing and identifying weapons who are the ones to be concerned about.But people have there faces so buried in their phones today they’re never going to notice the bottom 1.5” of my holster sticking out.

Alpinist? Another nice one I gave to my son, in addition to a Sub I bought new in 1970. He's enjoying them and starting to build a nice collection.K6s AIWB. Pocketknife clipped to my left pocket, keys and phone inside same pocket. I leave my right pocket empty because when I'm not carrying the Kimber I slip a LCP inside that pocket, or when I'm working in the yard I have a NAA .22 in the front right pocket. Wallet in right rear, speed strip in left rear. Watch on right hand.

When I'm inside the house, all I have on me is the pocketknife, phone, and a cheaper quartz watch. The knife isn't necessarily for defense, but I've daily carried a knife since I was 12 for random cutting needs and I feel naked without one
We can go down any tactical rabbit hole you want. It’s great if you have you’re head on a swivel 24/7 always looking and observing for gun prints on shirts. Because if you don’t, then you’re not being “vigilant” (aka observed as paranoid and likely viewed by someone else like you, as a potential threat). I have other things to do with my time, like live a life.The people who it might be worth considering hiding a gun from aren't the ones with their faces in their phone.

Not sure what you're getting at here. Being vigilant is good of course, but doesn't really have much of anything to do with my post that you quoted.We can go down any tactical rabbit hole you want.
