If you want to tuck your shirt in, try one of these. I carried a Colt Officers Model for a few years (before I got fatter); it worked great. It will take a while to get back in the holster and re-tuck the shirt, but that should not be a consideration. https://aliengearholsters.com/collections/iwb-h...
