Just curious - anybody ever used or have a "Sneaky Pete" holster?

[CaptRon956]

I can't think of anything that scream's "gun holster" louder than a sneaky pete. IMHO

I have one for my Shield 9mm with CT Laserguard. Conceptually, I like it, especially for humid summertime wear here in the sunny South. My main dislike has to do with the draw. It seems the tight fit in the Sneaky Pete forces me put a finger inside the trigger guard to get the pistol out. I'm still practicing with the SP to find some other way to draw. Even though my Shield has the safety (and I use it), I don't like getting on the trigger until presentation. I'm confident I'll get it all worked out and be comfortable with the SP, but I'm also looking for an IWB, too.

I'm sorry!

I apologize if there was a thread and I missed it - I'm not on this site that much.

classic bob - the reason I post this is to find out what and if others have one or have used one - glad your's works for you but there really is no reason for the "big boy pants" comment. I THOUGHT the purpose of forums such as this was to share information - not to be a "smart mouth". I have only been shooting for 50+ years so I guess that I, or the other individual who responded, are not as smart as you are and have a whole lot more to learn? If someone asks a question - they are asking it for a purpose and I have always been willing to share information if I can - but that's how I was brought up - old school.

Thanks for those that shared - greatly appreciate it. My main concern on the holster was "draw" and the ease of it if necessary. The large "flap" concerns me - it seems like it could get in the way. I could see it being an issue over an open top holster when riding in a vehicle. We often travel to a larger city near us when we are in AZ where carjackings, car jackings with assaults, etc. do happen. Several years back, a fellow drove in to a drive in drug store window to pick up a prescription - as he waited, two teenage girls yanked his doors open (they were unlocked) and attempted to carjack his car at gun point. He shot one and the other got away. I'm thinking the "sneaky pete" might be a tad bit harder to draw from in a lot of circumstances. I always try to be aware of my surroundings and what is going on but the last thing I want is a difficult holster to have t draw from.

Thanks for your input and thoughts on them. I'm going to "pass" on a sneaky pete and will just continue to dress to allow the way I noisily carry.

I didn't intend to offend you, but please note my remarks weren't directed at you at all. I was replying to the post by "raisin" not you. I suppose you didn't notice the smiling icon at the end of my remarks. It was to denote the lite-hearted humor that was the spirit of my remark. I guess some folks have more of a sense of humor than others. Again I' sorry.

i would maybe if it did not have SP on it, and everyone knows what it is.

I emailed with them ( they do not publish a phone number the last I knew) and asked them about getting one without their monogram on it and the reply was THAT WAS CUSTOMIZATION AND WE DO NOT DO CUSTOMIZATION!

I know that cost them 1 or possibly 2 sales. (Me and son)

That monogram might not be that important in free states but a state like the people's republic of NY with many having a guns are bad outlook, its best to be as well concealed as you can be.

FWIW I have spotted a couple of their holsters being worn, but it was not in any of the bigger cities!

My best friend in Florida bought one for riding his HD with the HOG chapter. Ended up not caring for it at all. Awkward in presenting the firearm and did not fit his CS40 very well.
