Does this actually conceal? I had a should holster once that was so bulky it was clearly noticeable even through a jacket, even without a gun in it.

I do not believe in concealable handguns. They can not handle the power of the ammo. I use a cannon (joke-ha ha) & no one knows but I also give up fast drawing. I am an avid cyclist day & night and I am concerned with wolves & cougars. Some Black Bear. This holster in my opinion and for the 3 years I have been using it needs additional security, i.e. Velcro etc. Good luck. P.S. I suggest spending good money for a better holster.

I like the holster. I wear button up shirts and it fits comfortably under my arm. I wouldn't carry anything bigger than a .45. I've asked people I know of course if they can tell I was carrying. None of them could see it.

Just got this holster. I'm fairly new to concealed carry, so trying some different setups. I'm also 6'1 225 lbs. On anything lighter that a thick jacket or coat, this is what I consider very noticeable...even without the gun. I thought I would like a shoulder holster...but this is not the one for me. That said, it's definitely is built for carrying a full frame gun, as has been mentioned in other reviews. Holds a Sig P227 carry model with length to spare. From smaller pistols, definitely look elsewhere.

That really depends on how bulky a person is and what they are wearing. I am about 25-35 lbs over-weight but the straps are adjustable and it hugs to your side pretty well. It is still bulky and without a thick type jacket or a really loose T-Shirt & in the right stance, I think it will be noticeable on anyone.

Addendum-I was in a hurry when i wrote you therefore I just wanted to clarify my message. I meant that I don't believe in manufacturing tiny handguns to hide from criminals. I was taught that if someone knows that your a gun owner they will or may try to steal your gun, break into your home and so on. I don't see the logic. This holster is not sturdy and I like large Glocks, 40 cal. The old gen 2's. I have had so much trouble with tiny handguns. If someone believes you are carrying then why would they want to get shot? If a pack of wolves see's you run away scared then they will chase you but if you just disposed of the Alpha male and 5 others than I think your on the right track. Good luck.

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).

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

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.

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

Not really... It's designed with an index finger button release. Theoretically, you could reverse the holster and put the holster in your pants, but not really designed as a conceal carry holster. Probably better to use if you had a coat over it, as it is not overly bulky.

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

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.

Do not know your State or local laws however, this is one way to carry concealed similar to an inside the waistband holster. You do need to consider, that unlike a holster, your trigger is not covered and blocked.

To be honest, it will be a little bulky under just a shirt. I've tried and it's better under a jacket than it us just a shirt. They are comfortable, but I said, just a little bulky, but that's mainly because of the thickness of the frame of the Glock.

I dont use a holster but it is light enough I can imagine the holster not being a burden for a brisk walk. The baton is light. I carry it on walks with me and have had to use it already, thankfully not on the animal because the cracking sound of the current alone was enough to scare the dog and jump away from mine. That was a great peace of mind to me that the sound can even be an effect deterrent so I dont actually have to cause pain.

The gun could experience some corrosion if placed directly against the body. I always wear and undershirt with my gun and keep the gun well lubed. The gun will experience some wear to the finish on the holster side as the gun slides on and off the holster, so this is definitely a holster for a full time carry gun intended to be a tool, not a show queen.

Short answer, sure. Like any concealed gear it depends on your concealment garment/s. It is obviously OWB so without something over it, no. Time of year, body shape etc. all make a difference. I use Fobus paddle holsters and Mag pouches and really like them all from .22 to .45 pistols and mags. Zero complaints or problems.

With this type of holster you'll probably notice the sweat. However, he does offer horsehide for this holster on his website. From what I understand horsehide is better with sweat.

It is meant to be under your pants, but there are some pants that I wear mine on the outside...like some yoga or workout pants. Some are just too tight for it to fit very well. As long as your shirt covers it, then you're good. I really love this holster. It is one of my favorites along with the Remora 3-in-1 with thigh and ankle straps.

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.

It CAN be, but that depends on your outerwear preference. It is too hard for applications inside the waist and. The holster is tough and durable, but if you intend to wear it outside waist and and center back, it would be great for concealment, provided you coat is long enough.
