No, but I did purchase their mag. pouch that looks like a knife or handy tool pouch. Quality leather, spring clip and magnet on the flap. Also have some mag. covers or protectors that slip over the mag to prevent debris entering them when carried in a pocket. I am impressed with what I bought.

Sound like a good idea in general. Look more like a design for a cell phone or other junk.

I ask because Maryland eliminated open carry in Oct of last year. Here is the requirements today:
As amended by SB 1, the statute, MD Code, Public Safety, 5-307, provides that the "wearing, carrying, or transporting a handgun [be] concealed from view:
(i) under or within an article of the person's clothing; or
(ii) within an enclosed case.
The Sneaky Pete seems to conform to the "enclosed case".

I had one for a Sig 365.
They are too big and bulky for me.
I got rid of it.

I have one for a LCP. I've never used it. I also think it's big and bulky. In addition, the magnet closure is the only retention, and that retention is not much

Thanks for the replies. Seems that it is what I feared; clunky. I think I will just make a pocket holster out of some spare leather I have.

I bought one for my S&W 642 years ago, thinking it would be easier than pocket carry. But it is big, even for a small pistol, and I couldn't help but feel that EVERYONE was made aware that I was carrying. The issue became moot when I added a laser to the little revolver and it would no longer fit in the Sneaky Pete. I find that wearing an outside the waistband holster, and leaving my outershirt untucked works better than using the bulky Sneaky Pete, or I just go back to pocket carry in a Desantis Nemesis pocket holster.

Sneaky Pete is a trademark of Lauderdale Leather company for a concealed carry vest. Better get one if you want it before the lawyers shut them down.
