Carrying the EAA Girsan MC28SA – Full-Size Performance Meets Everyday Concealment
When it comes to concealed carry, many shooters assume you need to sacrifice size for comfort. The EAA Girsan MC28SA proves otherwise. This full-size 9mm handgun delivers duty-level performance while still being a viable option for everyday concealed carry — especially when paired with the right holster.
At STS Concealment, we design holsters that make even larger firearms like the MC28SA practical for daily use.
Why Choose the EAA Girsan MC28SA for Concealed Carry?
The EAA Girsan MC28SA is known for its reliability, ergonomic design, and smooth shooting characteristics. Its full-size frame offers:
- Increased accuracy due to a longer sight radius
- Reduced recoil for better control
- Higher capacity compared to compact models
- A solid, balanced feel in hand
While larger than micro-compacts, the MC28SA can still be effectively concealed with proper setup and gear.
The Challenge of Concealing a Full-Size Handgun
Carrying a full-size pistol like the MC28SA requires attention to:
- Holster profile
- Ride height and cant
- Clothing choices
- Belt support
Without the right holster, printing and discomfort quickly become issues. That’s where a purpose-built Kydex holster makes all the difference.
Why an IWB Kydex Holster is the Best Choice
Inside-the-waistband (IWB) carry remains one of the most effective ways to conceal a full-size firearm. A high-quality Kydex holster offers:
- Secure retention for consistent firearm placement
- Slim profile to reduce bulk
- Durability for long-term use
- Adjustability for a custom fit
The rigid structure of Kydex ensures your draw stays smooth and predictable — every time.
How STS Concealment Optimizes Full-Size Carry
Our IWB holster for the EAA Girsan MC28SA is engineered to make concealment easier without sacrificing performance:
- Precision-molded fit for consistent retention
- Adjustable cant and retention to dial in your carry style
- Optional concealment claw to minimize printing
- Durable .08” Kydex construction
- FOMI clip compatibility for secure belt attachment
These features work together to keep the firearm tight to your body, making a full-size pistol far more concealable than most expect.
Tips for Concealing the EAA Girsan MC28SA
If you're carrying a full-size handgun, keep these tips in mind:
- Use a quality gun belt for support
- Consider appendix carry for better concealment
- Wear slightly looser clothing to reduce printing
- Adjust cant angle to match your body type
- Utilize a concealment claw for optimal grip rotation
With the right setup, the MC28SA becomes a practical everyday carry option.
