Deep concealment harness - review with pics

MadDog · February 21st, 2008, 01:37 PM

I started a thread earlier this week about the deep concealment shoulder harness by active pro gear. I needed something to wear that would allow me to tuck in my shirt move around all day. I considered the smart carry, but didn't like the idea of it hanging low on me.
I payed 35 dollars for it and it finally arrived so here is my review of it after a day.

Pros
- Allows you to tuck in shirt
- Deep concealment
- Holds handgun tight against body
- Two mag pouches
- Universal for other guns
- Can be used as a belly band
- Adjustable
- Fast shipping

Cons
- Abrasive to skin, I wear it on top of my undershirt. I normally wear a undershirt so it's no big deal to me, but for others could be a issue.
- Hand wash / spot clean only (can't be lazy and throw it in the machine)

I wore mine all day, it didn't feel heavy with the firearm and mags as the weight felt balanced (even if you just want to carry the gun only) Shoulder straps held everything into place and didn't need to be adjusted through out the day. I took a bit to put it on and adjust it so it would not print, but once you find the spot your good. Obviously my draw is slower compared to IWB. To help the speed of the draw I leave a button undone. worst case scenario I will have to rip my shirt to get to it. Anyways on to the pics!

Looks like a good option, for deep concealment. The price makes it reasonable enough to try without too much concern.

Good review and pics. Thanks

Maddog, Good review and pics. Thanks! However, I have a couple of more questions. I am considering getting one - especially for wearing during warmer weather. Is it hot to wear? Does it show through a white dress shirt? - at times I have to wear one. Is it tight or uncomfortable at all after wearing all day? Sorry for so many questions.

I love this holster (not too much experience with it yet) but it's great when I can't go IWB. I think it is comfortable as long as you use a undershirt. I didn't find it to be "hot" granted it's cold wear I live, but inside with my undershirt, holster, and dress shirt and tie I felt fine. I like feeling the gun tight under my arm, but i could wear it much looser if i want, as the sholder staps can hold it in place instead of the velcro around my chest.

I think for $35 you cant go wrong. If you are going to wear a white dress shirt I would make sure it's a thicker material. The gun is under your arm so it's well hidden if it did show a little bit. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask anymore questions if you would like.

Thanks Maddog! After looking it over, I think it might work for me.

Great! Those photos should really prove helpful to some of our members who need to conceal deeper.

Just got mine in the mail today as well. I'll be giving it a try soon. It looks to be very well made and the shipping was ultra fast. I agree that the downside is that it needs to be hand-washed which may be a problem in warmer climates where you may sweat a lot (like me in FL). Also, I may not always be wearing an undershirt so with the sweat added it may be a little uncomfy. Time will tell and overall for $35 it's a good addition to anyones line-up of carry options. Thanks for your review MadDog. I'll post my findings as well soon.
