How well do they conceal under a light Jacket/Bagy Shirt?

I have one which serves double duty for my Glock 23 and Glock 17. It's not as effective as an IWB holster would be, but the printing isn't as bad as you might think. Under my wind break it is fairly undetectable. If your bulky shirt is made of a think material it is still not very noticable. Worn under a thin material shirt such as linen or silk, the outline is noticable.How well do they conceal under a light Jacket/Bagy Shirt?

Probably not and probably not significantly if at all.So Basically it's not any more concealable than the Bianchi Paddle I already have.
Thanks.
I think that depends a lot on what degree of concealment you need.IMHO the serpa is a poor "concealment" holster. It conceals in winter with a jacket. Otherwise it is mostly a no go- you piece prints bigtime.
EXACTLY! Since Imostly OC, the concealment part isn't a big issue, and since most people don't even notice a gun that's OCd Chances are a gun that is only lightly CCd will go un-noticed as well.wqbang wrote:I think that depends a lot on what degree of concealment you need.IMHO the serpa is a poor "concealment" holster.

Those of us that OC regularly are well aware that short of putting a big flashing neon sign over our heads saying "Gun HERE!", the majority of people will never notice even an unconcealed weapon. People just aren't that aware.
Even when I'm concealing, I regularly just untuck my shirt and let it hang over my Serpa. I'm not just printing -- the bottom of the holster normally sticks out below my shirt! And yet I'm hardly ever "made". With a longer shirt or jacket, I've never been made, that I know of, even though it prints pretty badly.
I agree that if you're really concerned about concealment, then you may need to go with an OWB holster that holds the gun tighter to your body, or even and IWB, or maybe even real deep concealment, like a SmartCarry.
Concealment is a continuum, not a boolean value. What holster you should use depends on where along that continuum you need to be.
