I do think the added girth and length at the "butt" of the pistol decreases concealability a bit.
Same with those beavertail grip safeties.

The beavertail doesn't affect concealability for me. When carried with a forward cant, the beavertail is held tight against the thickest part of my body and a non-issue. The end of the grip is the part I have to worry about sticking out. I'm pretty thin though (5' 10", 170 lbs).Same with those beavertail grip safeties.
JROC the sights on your buddies pistol suggest that the slide is a prewwII slide- likely military.
