SmartCarry- think this is a bad idea...? - Page 3

I wear mine on the outside around the house and yard.

I'm not an attorney; and asking one might be a good idea. I quess as long as it is "concealed" you'll probably be ok. Much like people who wear an OWB holsters conceal with their clothes.

The only problem I see is keeping it securely in the holster. Having it tucked inside your pants gives you a more secure hold on your gun.

How about installing a holster inside the smartcarry and have the best of both worlds?

My solution to retention issue is to wear it at 1 to 2 o'clock, INSIDE the pants, with the grip (Glock 27) exposed about halfway above the waistband. I can tuck the shirt or not, and the trigger is protected by the thick waist band of the trousers, as well as any belt I wear. I also like 4 o'clock, same concept with the Glock in the forward pocket of the SC, in an FBI-like cant. I have the deluxe SC, so both pockets are the same size. Spare Glock 22 mag goes in the other SC pocket. The whole rig flat disappears, even in gym shorts and a loosely tucked t-shirt.

Worn on the outside it is basically not much more than a floppy generic holster without retention.
I personally would not do it but, if it's working out for you then more power to you.

This is the first time I've really looked at these holsters. Seems to me that they really have a place. I can't really see that inside or outside would make much of a difference (obviously inside being more secure). Thanks for sharing.
