    Exclamation Is a 40 full size pistol (not compact) too big to carry as concealed?

    In Pennsylvania, does anyone know if you can carry as concealed a Springfield 40mm full size (not compact)?

    A 40mm? You talking about a grenade launcher? You must mean .40 caliber.

    Sorry about my manners, welcome to the forum by the way.

    As far as wether you carry a full size pistol or not that is your choice pa is a open carry state so if you want to openly carry that's fine as well I live in the Pittsburgh area and I carry a compact .40 cal. The question is are you able to conceal it enough to not give yourself away cause if so you might as well openly carry

    Depends on style of dress, the size of the person carrying. I have a xdm 40 I carry on occassion. Just have to dress to conceal the size of the weapon your carrying.

    The 40mm is an NFA item. The 37mm or 26.5mm are legal but if you use the 12 guage adapter you will technically have a short barrel shotgun which is also an NFA item. Also be careful of state specific rules, like in California even though they require flares on a boat most of the larger launchers will be considered illegal. Spikes Tactical has a forum that discusses the larger launchers and has good links to other information. Good luck.

    Now I want to get my hands on a 40mm grenade launcher and carry that. Who needs .40SW when you have 40mm?

    Im sure I could conceal it with a large coat. Ill carry this one and keep my Glock .40 as a backup.

    I concealed a full size .40 caliber...so no it's not to big. 5' 10" 180 lbs muscular athletic. Since I open carry now, it doesn't matter...so I plan on getting that 40mm asap, what do you guys think, thigh holster or shoulder holster?
