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.

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 carry a 642 everyday with jeans, dockers and suit pants. It's almost invisible. If you take the time and are observant enough to know what you are looking for (very very slight fold or bump in pant leg), then yes one may be able to tell that something is concealed under there. Fifteen years and it's never been an issue.

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.

Yes it fits nicely. When I'm carrying it definitely is not noticeable but it is still easy to access your firearm!

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 wear mine clipped in the middle of my bra, with the face turned in toward my body. I wear it there everyday. Nobody has noticed that it's there, and it doesn't interfere with my clothes at all.

I have a loose fitting IWB holster so I don't notice it. If I shoot a lot say at the range it wears the top of my back knuckle that sits under the site. (not a big problem)Over-all, I love the laser and have it on two firearms.

Yes this holster will conceal a glock 22 if you wanted it too. Great holster

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

It depends on the size you carry. A larger one doesn't seem as secure in it to me and sits higher and sticks out lower, but I wear skirts all the time, so the waistband is different not allowing for the extra pressure of maybe a pair of jeans. A smaller size is mostly covered, so it's not an issue. Also you can have it sit straight or cantered, which may cover or uncover more, again depending on what you carry. Vedder's customer service is great, so if you're not satisfied, you can contact them. I'm sure they'll take good care of you!

Yes it conceals well all you really see is the 2 metal clips if your clipping into your normal belt as long as your shirt covers below your beltline you cannot see it at all

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.

There is at least 2" of built in give from the elastic and probably even more. Unless your weapon and holster is really bulky, I think your regular pants size would suffice. I can jam two hands in my waste band without it getting too tight.You'll love the big pockets. I carry my 380 Bodyguard in the right-hand side pocket and it is completely invisible.

It does for me. I like it just a little more snug since I'm carrying a full sized pistol etc...

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 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.
