I bought the M27 thinking it would be a good companion to my on duty M23. The weapon shoots great but it has been a big disapointment as far as concealed carry. Its fat, heavy, and conceals about as well as a brick. I only hold on to it for the day I may decide to work plain cloths. I do carry it in a fanny pack while bicycle riding but never carry it other than that. I have found my KelTec P32 or PPK better for CCW. Although I would like to check out a Kahr MK9. Again, its a great gun, just don't expect to be able to use it for "maximum concealment". Unless of course your under 20 and go for the baggy look in clothing or maybe live in a cold climate.
