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).

I would get a vertical concealed in plain view holster. This has never worked for me. I guess I really don't understand your question.

I don't know- I do know that the holster starts out snug, but loosens a little too much over time if you keep the gun stored in it. not much good for anything other than a cover to keep profile from showing. No longer matters that the holster exterior grips my pockets, as the gun will literally slide out on it's own if it tilts while in a cargo shorts pocket

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.

Nope. I was actually quite surprised at how much I like this holster. Will be ordering another.

The Bulldog case work's well if you want to go without a cover garment. Access is pretty quick and as with all new holster, practice is necessary and recommended. Other modes of carry should be dictated by weather, apparel, and personal preference for comfort. Just practice with whatever you choose so that if the need arises, you will at least be able to defend yourself. Good luck and stay safe.

Without a doubt. now, I wear mine on a tactical belt. I wear a lightweight sweat shirt over it, right front, it is completely concealable especially wearing a lightweight jacket and it is most comfortable sitting in a car or truck.

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.

Yes, but this holster takes multiple adjustments. I use it for CCW under a suit jacket because it sticks out from your waist. I carry a full size 1911. Hope this helps.

The holster is fairly simple. It has a nylon strap that you can run a belt through to secure it.

Under a dress shirt I believe it will show, mainly because it is a full size pistol, harder to hide. This is made more for under a light jacket or zippered sweatshirt.

Hi Don. It has a belt loop on the other side of the holster not shown in the picture. It is an out of the waistband holster. Meaning it rides outside. But it's about the same size as the plastic holster that comes with the sig p238. So it's very concealable. Just an untucked shirt covers it nicely. The Amazon photo makes it look much bigger than actual size. Bottom line - It's a nice holster. Very nice leather. I like it and use it often. Hope this helps. - Jan

Its a little thick, especially because the back straps are double Velcro thick. The minimum I would wear to conceal is a loose, loose sweatshirt or a hooded sweatshirt. It does work well, though. Just not a fashion statement.

If you had a jacket on - then yes. If you had a light shirt on, maybe no. I wear it while jeeping in the AZ desert and in the early morning hours I have a light shirt on and it looks like my side is bulding out a bit. Concealed would not be a good word. The Govenor is a "canon" of a gun and it holds up well in this holster. But together it's a bit bulky.

Yup, it fits very nicely inside the waistband, conceals the gun well, has great retention, and I've been very impressed with it. I trimmed my holster so I could get a full grasp on the gun while it's holstered, after that it works beautifully. Very happy with it.

It is an outstanding holster. Easy to draw, and is very low profile foe great concealment. Definitely recommend it.
