Although concealment is the common objective of both holsters, there are other benefits of each that may help drive the decision. I can only speak to the my situation. Most of my family and social circle are negative to aggressively anti guns. Intimate hugs are part of our greeting and parting behavior. My solution is the SmartCarry. Never been detected as contact with that area of the body is taboo in our culture. I am also able to roughhouse and snuggle with the grandchildren without detection.
I carry an M&P 45fs with it's 10-round clip plus a spare 14-round magazine. Best of all, it permits me to carry with the Procyon weapon light attached.
