No you would probably need a light jacket for sure.

If you are interested in the Serpa, google it and do some research before you buy it. There is a lot of bad juju going around about that holster due to some design issues. It's been banned by many of the major firearms training schools and a good number of LE Agencies.

There is a holster that is similar in the way it locks up, but the lock is released by your thumb. It's called the 5.11 Thumb Drive, made by Blade Tech. I have one for my Glock 19 and like it much more than the serpa that I used to have.

Are you looking solely for a concealment holster? If so, IWB is typically easier to conceal. A really good option is the Raven Concealment Systems Phantom. It's a modular holster that has about 6 different mounting options. It can be worn OWB, IWB or IWB Tuckable. All you have to do is remove 4 screws, change the mounting system and put the screws back in, takes less than 5 minutes.

I recently got one for my Glock 19 and love it. It's become my new EDC holster over my Crossbreed.

Sounds good, thanks.

I think the video you're thinking of is of Tex Grebner, and he was using a Serpa, not a Thumb Drive.

He was using a 5.11 earlier in the day. Still good of him to post it so folks can see what he did.

I've seen that video. Before that I used to watch hos videos.

the Serpa is a fine holster, but not for CC, they stick out too far. A better choice would be the Don Hume 721 O.T. (open top) leather holster, they ride high and hold close to the body plus only 50 bucks.

A nice cc holster for any glock is the MIC razor you can find at rockyourglock.com. they make for all models
