It is the angle of the gun in the holster that does the trick. You need that butt's centerline pointing upward (vertically) in line with your body. Combine that with holding the gun in, against your body and you can carry under a loose, dark, T-shirt. Heck, under a Loose Dark Tee I can carry a Redh...

Sad thing is 96/22s are hard to find.

The Mag versions are available, but the .22LRs haven't been available for a few years.

(OTOH, if the 96/22M had hi-cap mags available it would be almost as good as a lever action .223. :twisted: )
