Pipedoc Posted October 14, 2014 at 03:28 PM Share Posted October 14, 2014 at 03:28 PM The general consensus is yes, It completely conceals the firearm and doesn't indicate what is inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigma Posted October 14, 2014 at 09:54 PM Share Posted October 14, 2014 at 09:54 PM Sneaky Pete isnt my first choice anymore.Lets say you like to carry at 3 Oclock. Problem is it moves on your belt. When relying on muscle memory this could be a problem.Next you can full get a grip on the firearm before pulling it out. It is impossible. That increases the chance of fumbling with it so I will stick to my crossbreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJim Posted October 14, 2014 at 10:41 PM Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 at 10:41 PM The general consensus is yes That much I know. But is it legal?

blueswolf Posted October 15, 2014 at 10:11 PM Share Posted October 15, 2014 at 10:11 PM I've wondered the same thing about the Sneaky Pete holster. It doesn't look like a holster even though it is. It is designed to be worn outside the waistband but, it conceals the weapon from view. I'd like to hear some feedback from any LEO, Attorneys, or Todd on this. For those of you unfamiliar with the Sneaky Pete holsters, watch this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EXEppyv8q4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJim Posted October 15, 2014 at 10:17 PM Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 at 10:17 PM Maybe Todd or Molly could get this resolved once and for all. My wife wants a SP but until I know they are legal I'm going to tell her to stay away from them. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22cal Posted October 16, 2014 at 02:35 AM Share Posted October 16, 2014 at 02:35 AM I have one for my glock 42 and I wore it outside of my tshirt alot in the summer. I wasnt around any police so I dont know if they would say anything. Now I have grip extentions for my glock 42 mags so my g42 wont fit in it unless I use the mag without extention so I havent used it in a while. But I like it I posted a review on here about the sneaky pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishbone Posted October 19, 2014 at 01:37 AM Share Posted October 19, 2014 at 01:37 AM i used one for a while to foid carry. prefer iwb now that i have my ccp. This is really important to us here in Illinois. If you carry a semi auto pistol with no round in the chamber (Israeli carry) you can easily switch between concealed and FOIA carry by merely raising the case flap and popping the mag out. This enables you to enter any non-Federal prohibited area legally. It is equally easy to reinsert the mag without fully removing the gun from the Sneaky Pete. I have one for my Glock 26 and find it is too big to wear comfortably, but I think it would be great if sized for a pocket 32 or 380. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueswolf Posted October 21, 2014 at 10:30 AM Share Posted October 21, 2014 at 10:30 AM I contacted the ISP via email and asked them about the "Sneaky Pete" holster. I also provided them with links to Sneaky Pete's website and a youtube video review. Here is their reply: The Illinois State Police cannot provide legal advise. We can only direct you to what is written in law."Concealed firearm" means a loaded or unloaded handgun carried on or about a person completely or mostly concealed from view of the public or on or about a person within a vehicle.Respectfully,Illinois State PoliceFirearms Services BureauConcealed Carry Unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJim Posted October 21, 2014 at 01:24 PM Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 at 01:24 PM So if a SP is legal what about a flap style holster where the flap completely covers the grip and none of the gun itself is actually visible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not. Shaped like an IPad case, probably ok. I don't see that the shape of the "case" that completely conceals a firearm has any relevancy under the law. Concealed is concealed, and the fact that you can logically infer that the case has a weapon would not seem to matter. I would not carry a gun in a totally enclosed holster shaped case though since you give up the tactical advantage of being truly concealed.

Therefore it's concealed. A holster with a flap looks like there's a gun in it, therefore it's not concealed. At least that's the way I see it. Your mileage may vary.
