The Shield was no problem for me when I tried one in the pocket of a properly cut pair of casual khaki's and a pair of shorts with basically the same cut. I'm a little guy,a little less that 509 and 165 lbs( but watch out!
).
Of course the dealer and a police Major friend laughed because the price tag was hanging out. They told me I looked like Minnie Pearl.
It's not for jeans,for sure,but it can be done with the proper attire.
