Concealed enough? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Ok, here's a question I've asked several people and have received several different answeres. How much concealed is enough concealed, meaning I carry my XD-40 service model on right hip with a DeSantis {SP} paddle holser OWB, it's the most comfortable for me. But I have a t-shirt tucked in and another polo type shirt over that. The only noticable thing about my set up is a rather large bulge on my side, and I would guess if you really knew what to look for you could figure it out. So can anybody help me out with some possible suggestions on how to better conceal this gun, i'd like to stay away from IWB holsters , just concerned about having to buy new pants to fit holster with gun in them, and comfortability level.
any help would be appreciated

As long as no one can see the gun and holster, and they have no idea you are carrying, that is concealed enough. I have heard that a printing firearm is not considered concealed by some LEO. At least the Michigan cops used to say this. In IL, this is not an issue.

it depends on the state.

in texas "if it can be easily discernible by the general public" it is not concealed enough.
