I’m not wrong, I know quite a bit about NFA, and I offered no advice.

Search the page for “Wallet Holsters” and you’ll learn that the illustrated image is an AOW requiring registration and a $200 tax. Granted, the holster without the gun isn’t regulated, but putting a gun in it is.

I am aware that there is such a thing as a wallet holster that the ATF describes as a “any other weapons”. It’s just that the holster pictured on the thread is not one of those. If a holster does not “hide” the gun, or make it appear to be something other than the gun, the ATF has “ruled” that a shoot through holster in and of itself does not make it a “any other weapon”. With the ATF this might change tomorrow.

I stand corrected. Thank you for the info. I was unaware that the ATF was excluding wallet holsters that revealed parts of the gun like the slide.

I’d still urge that when you commented on the issue that you make it clear to the uninitiated that some very similar looking holsters can land one in jail.

I carry a Glock 19 in a inside the pants holster in the small of my back. I do not keep a round chambered, for safety reasons.

You're not carrying a concealed weapon, you're carrying a concealed paperweight. My Glock 23 always has a round chambered. When the firefight is on you probably won't have time to rack a round.
