Who Have Found Paddle Holsters Concealable

[carlson1]

I am looking at this holster for concealed carry.

I have not tried many paddle holsters much. The ones I have tried tend to have a larger bulge than like a paddle holster or the DM Bullard Dual Carry holster. I tend to wear a dress shirt untucked and sometimes a T-shirt. The rest of the time a suit and tie.

I wanted to transition to the holster above, but was curious if anyone on the Forum actually uses a paddle holster and how you like it?

Thanks,
Carl

I use that exact holster for my Glock 17.
It works great with a suit or loose button up shirt. With anything tighter, I go with IWB.

I have thought about trying that holster for my Glock 30, but just haven't pulled the trigger on getting one yet. I've been using everyone's favorite Blackhawk Serpa for many years now. It does stick out a little more than I'd like and has a slight outward can't from my side. I kinda like that it does so it doesn't dig into my side too much. I've been wearing a cover shirt for so long now that everyone thinks it's just the way I dress. And most of those people have no idea what's underneath.

I thought I would be okay except the T-shirt. I have one similar for a Glock, but the Dallas LEO monkeyed up the paddle on it so I have ever really seen how it wears.

I use the Kramer Leather MSP paddle holster for my PX-4 SC. It is kind of a chunky gun, but I can wear with a loose shirt.

I also bought a Fobus Evolution Paddle holster at Academy for about $25.

I bought it mostly to keep in the car, but for the money it is a nice OWB holster.

I have a paddle holster for most of my handguns, mostly fobus and serpa. I will wear them in the winter with a coat or at the range. I like them for comfort and because they go on and off so easily, but in my experience they are not very concealable unless I am wearing a long jacket. They don't ride as close as necessary (at least for me) as most other types of holsters. I give them high marks for everything BUT concealability. It may be my body type or something I am doing wrong as I wish I could make them work better.
Jan 1st I will probably use them a lot more as I don't think the average person pays any attention and I won't be as concerned about a big bump or a barrel playing peek-a-boo with my shirt tail.

I got a Fobus for my PX4 .45 to wear "concealed" after Jan 1.

I wear a Fobus paddle holster for my Ruger SR9C and I find it to be very concealable. It keeps the gun high-and-tight, is easy to take on and off, and I don't have any concealability issues even just wearing a loose-fitting t-shirt. It's also extremely comfortable - it has a soft padded layer on the inside of the paddle and I can quickly forget I'm wearing it.
