The New DeSantis Incognito Holster
DeSantis Gunhide announced a new carry rig called the Incognito. The new system is a belt pouch that hides a gun inside of it. The idea is the pouch is plainly visible, but completely conceals your self protection firearm within it. This eliminates the need for a cover garment like a jacket or untucked shirt.
The Incognito us made from padded 1060D nylon, and the cover flap is secured with a strip of Velcro fastener.
I’ve previously tested a similar style of holster from Sneaky Pete. The Sneaky Pete rigs are made of fine leather and the flap secures through the use of rare earth magnets. While I would not use the Sneaky Pete for regular carry, it definitely has its place. Although a bit large, the nice leather blended well with business attire and would pass for an oversized PDA or phone pouch with most people. I don’t know how well the Incognito would blend in the same environment due to the nylon construction used by DeSantis.
The Incognito can fit a variety of firearms including:
- Smith & Wesson M&P Shield (including the new .45 ACP model)
- Glock 26, 27, 43 (although not mentioned, I assume that similarly sized Glock pistols – like the 42 – would also fit)
- Walther PPS, PPS M2
- Ruger LC9, LC380
- SCCY (all)
- Kimber Micro 9
- Kahr K9, K40, P9, P40, CW9, CW40
DeSantis lists the Incognito at $49.99.

I'm actually considering something similar to this for a vehicle holster. I used to keep my P238 in the center console, but my new car has a ridiculously tiny center console.
I'm thinking something like this might work well mounted somewhere.
My problem is that it often doesn't take long for many hook and loop products to break down so that they no longer retain securely. Either the hooks or the loops, or both lose their shape from age or common use. I'd have a hard time trusting this kind of case.
