Several have mentioned purchasing that holster. It appears to be a very functional holster aslong as all you need to carry is your weapon and two mags. I carry more equipment thus I use the UC Comfort. My only other obserbation is that it is not sleveless and is not a v-neck. Those are two options I really like about the UC Comfort but from my experience with that type of material, a good pair of scissors can fix that.

Fed, do you find the UC comfort to be of good quality?

You can do a search and find Steve's several other posts about the UC Comfort. He has one post that shows photos of him with UC Comfort on. He has been using them for several years.

My only problem with UC Comfort is that they are hard to get. Do not order them off line....call them or email them first to make sure they have your size in stock. They will email you back when they do and you can grab them up. I just ordered two more. I used them daily and after three years they are starting to show signs of daily wear. I always buy two, one to wear and one to wash. Do NOT dry them in the dryer, hang dry them. If you use the dryer daily they will slowly destroy the material. I hope that helps.

It seems that, most of the time, you would wear it under another shirt ? Am I missing something ? You unbutton a shirt to get to it ? For some reason I am not getting this at all.

Sorry robert....yes you wear it under a dress shirt and typically over a t-shirt for sweat control. The reason is simple...its for business wear when you want to be able to take off your suit jacket. Most folks in a business environment cannot wear an untucked shirt and keeping your suit coat on stands out and is very uncomfortable. This type of rig is for a specific situation or dress style that folks who dont have to suffer by the strict "wall street" type of business dress code don't need. To keep from unbuttoning your shirt to get to it, I have taken to sewing snaps behind the buttons to make it easier access, but in an emergency, it is not that hard to rip off the buttons.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Steve, this does help. I really appreciate a review of products that you can't put your hands on before you buy and this stuff as you know is expensive.

Take Care,
J.S.
