You make a very good point!

I guess I should have better clarified what I meant by deep cover. I was offering this up more for someone who might want to conceal their hardware better in street clothes (as in off-duty) as opposed to as an honest-to-god undercover cop or operative.

I've never worked undercover and wouldn't know what the heck I was doing if I had to, but I can imagine that this bird wouldn't fly very far in that arena.

I work patrol and SWAT. Nothing else. I don't pretend to know anything else.

I do know this...I've carried a Gov't model 1911 on my hip for so long that my back hurts. And now that my belly has grown big and my hiney small, old slabsides doesn't conceal quite as easily as she used to.

The holster above seems to place the weapon in a location on my anatomy that conceals large objects much more effectively than on my waist. And I can sure carry a lot more weight for a much longer period of time on my torso without any of the untoward effects.

The intent of the thread was as a heads up to a new piece of gear. Everyone has to decide for themselves what works for them and in what arena. If it happens that this fits someone's needs...then I'm happy I could help.

Stay safe out there, brother.
