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.

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)

It's concealed. I've been using it daily for 1.5 months without any problem.

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.

I think it depends on how tight your pants are. I wear a comfortable fit and the outline isn't a problem. But the holster is so comfortable I usually slide it in at my waistband.

the inserts have the same shape as the vest, they overlap each other in the above hip-bellow armpit area (just like the vest overlaps in the picture); mine are aprox 25 inch wide (below armpits) by 22 inch high (bottom to shoulder) The inserts are an exact fit for the vest, every area of the body covered by vest will be protected with kevlar (including shoulder and neck). I didn't bother checking the thickness, if its level IIA who cares how thick it is... There is only one pouch in the high abdomen area, The one on the picture looks bigger than mine, a berreta will not fit in there but something smaller, like a glock 29 or a wheel gun should fit easily.

If you want it to be completely closed and conceal the battlebelt, it would have to be sparsely loaded. It will not conceal mine when fully zipped. If you are not trying to conceal, you can open the side zippers, which can go all the way to the armpit, or just let it sit on top of the belt.

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.

For me no. I carry IWB "AlienGear" and I have no problem concealing it at all.

Yes, I have it in mine. Had a little bulge in the beginning and now its either gone down or I just dont notice it anymore.

Yes it will. And it is a very nice fit and holster but it does add to the thickness of the gun quite a bit if you plan to carry concealed under your shirt.

Yes, if it is tight and you use the retention strap for the gun. I would also recommend wearing a tank or something under it as there would be some rubbing in the motion of working out. It is comfortable enough against the skin in normal circumstances, but the movement of a workout would rub. I have worn it while cycling many times, but always over a shirt and then my jersey or something over everything.

Its fairly bulky, you could conceal it with a jacket or vest. Mine sticks out about 2.5" or so inches from my waist, with roughly 1/2" a half inch gap between the waist paddle and the holster frame. ~GilbertFirearms

I think you can wear it under a loose fit shirt but not slim fitted shirt because the straps are well padded. It will even make you look good on the shoulder muscle like you worked out a lot lol. It doesn't seem to contain metal. It's all fabric except the ring in the back seems to be hard plastic. A tip for you: some people say it's hard to put on, NOT TRUE. Try turn it up side down when you wear it. It works the same. This works very well for my husband, effective yet comfortable...until one day he got lazy and left it in the corner. So if you decide on buying it to help with your posture, do yourself a favor: try to stick to it. Good luck!

I put it on my wife's in her ankle holster. It did not affect the fit. It was simple to install. It will not fall out on its own, but it is very simple to displace as you draw. I am very pleased with it. That being said, the only safety worth using is the one between your ears!!!

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.

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