Mine was uncomfortable. And gave me a weird bulge.
Recent PagerPal Experience
Discovering the PagerPal at a gunshow last July prompted me to buy my CC gun, a S&W 642, at the same show. In August I discovered the 642 Club here on THR.
I bought the PagerPal with a cell phone holster that fits my LG phone very well and looks quite natural. I wear it from time to time with jeans. It is reasonably comfortable, and in my case does not produce a noticeable bulge. However, I have not figured out how to do anything approximating a rapid draw with it. It is a slow draw, deep concealment holster.
Having looked at ThunderWear on web pages, I think that the PagerPal is probably a more accessible deep concealment holster than Thunderwear. However, that opinion is based solely on photos.
THR also introduced me to Robert Mika's pocket holsters. I now have one of those, also. I consider the Mika my primary CC holster, and the PagerPal as a reasonable alternative for use when my pockets are too shallow.
Please take my observations realizing I have only had this rig 5 months, and cannot CC to work, so only use it on weekends (not every) and evening walks i the neighborhood.
My conclusion - PagerPal is not as terrible as many report, serves a useful function, but is not a good primary carry holster, for a variety of reasons.
I was surprised about the report above of the company folding - there was a PagerPal sales booth at the gun show three weeks ago.

Let me amend my earlier post as I agree with Craig - they are probably not out of business but being reorganized under new ownership. However, the guy who was running the booth at the Eastman's show in Marietta claimed to be the owner and was acting like it was a fire sale. Perhaps he is the old owner and was trying to dump inventory before he left. He also made claims of warranty, satisfaction, and website support which is clearly not there.
Anybody have one of the larger models they want to get rid of ? Im assuming according to what I see on the web site there is a smaller and a larger version of them. I am curious about the design and want one to experiment with I have a couple ideas that may or may not make them a little more feasible to use and more comfortable to wear as well. But I need to try first before I say too much. You can email me at [email protected] to let me know... Thanks for the help guys......

I have one somone on another forum sent me free. Its in my box of holsters that dont work.
Please tell us what kind of gun you are looking to carry and maybe somone here can make a recommendation of a comfortable holster that works.
