Sneaky Pete Holsters

Okay, I'm pretty skeptical of Sneaky Pete Holsters for discreet carry. However, I do know a couple people that have used them. They both purchased ones that don't scream "I've got a gun" with an NRA patch, a camo print or U.S.Army emblazoned on it. I want to find out what others think about these holsters.

I got one quite some time ago for a Seecamp .32acp but never went out in public with it. It's a black leather one. I didn't feel like it was discreet.

I have carried it in a pocket holster for years as a backup but a Sneaky Pete would free up a pocket. A Seecamp is the absolute largest pistol I would ever consider using a Sneaky Pete holster. I knew someone that has carried his Colt Commander in one! I couldn't stop laughing. He got really mad.

Tell me what you think about Sneaky Pete holsters.

First time I saw someone wearing one I knew it was 2A related (so it doesn't live up to its name). Better to have a custom made one by a leather worker.

Sir, I'm right with Gary on this. I get the concept - looks like a not-holster. True, unless you *know* it's a holster or a case for a phone the side of MacBook.
Realistically, at $55+ for nylon and $90+ for leather you could get a much more efficient and secure and hidden quality inside the waistband holster from a lot of reputable makers.
