There's some info out there already regarding this holster - gun combo, but I thought I'd chime in to add my 2 cents.

I purchased the nylon SP holster for the LCP without the finger extension on the mag and have carried with it several times now.

What I like:
1. The holster fits the pistol perfectly with no slop at all.
2. The O.D. of the holster is as small as it can be, given that it has to square up the O.D. of the pistol.
3. I have a clip draw on my LCP, which I sometimes use for IWB appendix carry (with no round chambered), and the SP holster opening clears the clip and the cover flexes just enough so it still snaps shut and stays shut.
4. After wearing it on my hip with no cover garment in many different scenarios, it has drawn zero attention. ZERO
5. Access isn't OWB pancake fast, but it is fast enough for me.
6. The belt clip is quite stiff and holds the gun secure. I actually prefer to don it by sliding the belt through it, as it's easier.

What I don't like:
1. It's a little pricey. I would have preferred the leather, but didn't want to roll the dice on the concept for $65.

What I intend to change:
1. I'm looking for a thin plastic product logo (Apple, Samsung, Cannon, etc...) to laminate to the flap. This will disguise it even better.

Opinion:
1. Though I shoot the LCP a little better with the magazine finger extension, it makes the gun (and the matching holster) ~ 3/8" wider. I wanted to keep the holster as small as possible and chose to use the flat bottomed mag base plate.
2. These holsters are best for mouse guns, as the overall size is still small enough to pass as a oversized cell phone, mini-tablet, or portable camera case. If you try to carry a medium size or larger hand gun or any type of double stack in the SP, the overall size is, imo, way too big to pass under the radar.

That was my experience with the one I purchased to fit a Bersa Thunder 380,,,
Not a person ever recognized it for what it was,,,
But it was just too danged big on my hip.

I gave it to a lady so she can keep her Thunder 22 on her center console,,,
Her husband mounted it there semi-permanently for her.

May I ask why you want/need to disguise a holster that is designed specifically NOT to look like a holster?

Even the Sneaky Pete holster for the LCP without pinky extension on mag, which is about as small as they can be had, is bigger than any cell phone case I've ever seen. And I've read anecdotes online from people who were asked "what's that?"

I've seen one retro-fitted with a Sony label, and it looks very plausible that it is a case for a camera or older style Walkman.

There's a difference between 'concealed' and unbeknownst.

What is that?
It's my handgun. ;)

No harm no foul.
