how effective is this holster for concealment? Is it easily visible under a jacket?

Not very effective for concealment. It's kinda bulky will bulge or print. For me I use it for a secondary weapon holster for hunting and at the range. I'm a big guy so it may differ according to your build.

It is very very very bulky. I wouldn't use it for concealment. A soft leather in-the-waist holster would be much better.

I have a mp shield and my coat conceals it nicely in my opinion. I am not sure for a larger weapon

This is not a concealment holster. The only way to use this holster is to have a large cover garment. I've used it in teaching my Personal Protection Outside the Home courses via the NRA. I'd strongly suggest an IWB holster like a Galco King-Tuk or DeSanties Intruder (these are Kydex holsters).

If I remember correctly it is. I have mine put away somewhere and haven't worn it in forever because I was looking for something in conceal carry. This rides in such a way that it sticks out like a sore thumb unless you are wearing a large coat or extremely baggy shirt.

Yes , Sneaky Pete has the answer to your question. Your weapon fits inside and the holster looks like a tablet carrier. You can wear the holster with dress clothes or your best blue jeans. Galco Gunleather has an inside the pants holster that has an extra magazine carrier attached to the holster which is very concealable. Either holster is very good to carry , just depends on the plan for the day!!

I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on tv. However, anything that conceals a firearm from plain vviewand is not clearly identifiable as a holster would be considered concealed in my state. A standard holster covered by an article of clothing would be the same thing.

It's like every other holster - whatever gun you put in it, the grip will stick out. However, it can be completely concealed in the bag - one of the pockets is lined with velcro, which is where the gun goes for the "concealed carry". The holster is soft so it will stick, allowing you to know exactly where your gun is vs. it shifting around in your bag.

Essentially your comparing apples to apples. The Foxx Holster is also a hybrid, so there would probably not be any significant improvement on concealment with the Foxx. If your are looking for a holster that will give you the most clothing options, as well conceal your firearm as much as possible, then I would suggest looking at some of the all Kydex holsters. I found that The Foxx holster that I bought for my M&P Shield, although an excellent holster , I had to sometimes choose my clothing based off of whether or not I could properly conceal. Lucky, I had already ordered a all Kydex hoster from PJ Holsters LLC , and it had arrived shortly after my Foxx holster did. I can say that I havent used my Foxx Hybrid since. Seriously, GO kydex.

I would not advise it unless you are wearing a long jacket. The baby eagle is a hard one to conceal, and this is really a range-ready hip holster. Hope this helps.

It's noticeable to someone if they are looking for it, more so in slacks/dockers than jeans. Also, it rides low enough that sometimes when sitting down the very bottom of the holster may show.

I'm 6'3" and 300 lbs and conceal the holster perfectly fine. I wear this holster hunting, hiking, photographic excursions, walking the friggin dog, and I just enjoy the holster more and more as it breaks in. I'd say larger frames conceal it better because my big ole arms mostly cover it and the barrel chest keeps the shirt over the profile.

It will fit, but don't expect to be able to conceal anything. I also find it an awkward fit in front and back. If they had a hip option it would be better.

I use this with my m&p22.; Concealed carry eould depend on how you dress. The bulk rides outside your waistband though. It is not stealthy.

No, and that is probably good. The loops for the belt are tough rubber plastic and double stitched. No one will get this off your belt. Has a velcro divider inside that will hide a small gun so it can be opened and no one will see the conceal.

For me it depends. I use it lot in the warmer months when not wearing a coat or jacket. In the winter I use it or a holster on my hip if I'm keeping my jacket on. It's a great option to have.

To be honest, never heard of the AOW issue. I did go to the ATF website and look at their examples. They did have something similar called a wallet gun, but that example showed the firearm being completely hidden. In this holster, the entire slide is exposed. It looks like a wallet while in your pocket, but its obvious that there's a gun in it if it is just out in open.

I don't wear mine in my pocket as it is a little large and grip sticks out. I do wear it appendix carry and the holster stays in place no problem when I draw. It is actually a challenge getting it attached initially because the entire securing system flexes. As for printing it is very minimal and I think it would depend on the pants you are wearing. I wear Carhartts, so my biggest challenge is the buttons. For the price it is not a bad option. I currently have about 10 different holsters for my pistols and it boils down to what I am doing and what gun. Hope this helps.

I haven't actually carried it for concealed carry yet I would think if you set it down with the back against something it wouldn't be noticeable or lay it down on the back. You could just carry in one of the interior pockets, harder to get to but better concealed.

No, but it is useful for range carry of extra mags or under a jacket, sweatchirt or coat. How does your state law read concerning open carry of ammunition or magazines. It covers easily with an untucked T shirt and if it is noticed or seen, so what!
