I wear close fitted clothing and my old band did a pretty good job of concealing my 22, will this hide it the same way or is it a noticeable bulge?

Hi... Well I carry a 9mm w/ fairly loose fitting tops and mine is quite noticeable. Another somewhat con is that the band is made with 2 gun slots, either for a left or right hand carry and the strap on the side that the gun is not in pokes out... Ive considered cutting off the strap because its fairly noticeable as well... Maybe its just my gun size, but I wouldnt recommend this band with tight fitting clothing, if your looking to be discreet!

If I was looking to carry something in the 22, 380 or small 9 range. I would personally look at another band. The width of this one is over kill for that size weapon and just adds to your concealment issue

My husband and I are of regular size. We are not under nor over weight. If your clothing is of the correct size You will be fine. I carry a 380 and I am fine. Husband carries a Glock26 and if you are looking hard maybe, with shirt out.

It should conceal it just fine. This holster, for me, holds my 40 closer to my body than any other holster I own. No one can even tell that I'm carrying a weapon.

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.

i just finished trying the set up you suggested (minus the vest) and found that when the packs are strapped to my sides at waist height the 3 inch bulge on either side was noticeable I add a sweat shirt and came to the conclusion that the only way the packs would remained concealed is if you like extremely baggy clothing. or wear a vest like they do in the military and police forces in which case the vest plus the packs would make you look very round (still need a not so baggy sweat shirt for this to work tho).

The portion around the front is more or less noticeable regardless of the clothing I wear. It also sticks up a little high in the back so its pretty much always visible by your neck. ..but the baggier the shirt the less noticeable the structure is.

I have a full size .40 beretta and it is slightly bulky but at the same time does conceal well

The way it was sold it's not low ride. I don't know if there are accessories that can make it such. I wear it on a tactical belt so it sticks out a bit. Written on a standard pant belly IMO it would be close to the body but still allow good draw. Now with a vest, I really don't know. A vest could pretty much obstruct anything I would guess.

I am 6' 1" , 210bs. I carry a 5" Gov't model 1911. In summertime in wear it with a T-shirt or tank top with an unbuttoned, un-tucked Hawaiian, or short-sleeved safari shirt. Wintertime, under a flannel semi-dress shirt. Never been any problem with being obvious, and quite comfortable. I suggest adjusting it much closer to your armpit than you see in the movies. Also, I've never had need for the belt tie-downs. ( I don't run AFTER people)

the loops on mine are right at 1.75 so you should be in good shape,I don't even use a belt, the loops will actually clip over the waste band on your jeans and be very secure. I carry a glock 17 and a full size para 1911 with no issues, and you can also set the loops different to get the tilt the way you want it. i have 2 of these and really like them. the leather will be a bit stiff for a while but not bad, after a couple uses, you won't know it is there. hope this helps.

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!

The holster is snug as it is outside the belt. Never had an issue with it. Sure, wearing it inside the belt would make it tighter, but could hinder the draw.

I've experienced only one problem with it and it's the band itself. I've noticed that after a while the band will began to stretch and the gun will slip out a bit. But on the plus side the pouch keeps the gun in place so it doesn't slip out of the band all the way. Hope this helps.

Assuming that you don't wear perfect fit jeans and you have to wear belt you shouldn't have to worry about it. Jeans have give and stretch so you will just have to loosen your belt up one notch. Think about how think your gun is and add just a fraction of an inch to it.

Yes that is why the holster is designed the way it is. You will have no problem unless your pockets are stuffed with heavy items. I have used mine without a belt inside my jeans with no problems.

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.

considering the weight and the length of these firearms there should not be any issues with band fitting them. the strap on the band helps to hold the firearm in place.

There might be a very slight bulge, but I was able to place my stock cover back on with no problem. I then placed it in a case(not an otterbox though), but I see no reason why it would not fit.

I carry a M&P; Shield but I do have a full size 1911 and tried it for a couple of hours so I could answer your question. My belt did not sag. I wear it tight and on the hip.
