My Smartcarry arrived today, and I think I might have found my newest favorite holster! Sorry about the poor quality pictures. Cell phone camera!

Yep, I knew you's like it. I have one and you just can't beat the SmartCarry for deep concealment!

Sounds like it's comfortable for you to wear. Some people try to wear it higher than it was designed to wear, and as a result it may not always be comfortable. I've started wearing looser pants since I got mine, and that helps also.
It's not for everyone, but I wear mine almost every day, even if I'm carrying OWB and pocket. If I'm out running around someplace casual, I may carry OWB and pocket. But then if I need to go to a sensitive area (I didn't say an illegal area), I can then load my SmartCarry and ditch the OWB and pocket holsters. Glad you like yours. Mine adds a lot to my carrying capabilities. |

I love my smart carry, ,it's my favorite summer holster, I used to where a pager pal and although it's a good holster the s/c is much more comfy

How do you like it with the 229. I have a P229 and was thinking about the smart carry. Do you carry it low or at the waistline? did you have to use larger pants like a IWB?

I know it's irrational, but I'm not sure I could get over having a gun that close to my....other gun.
On a more practical note, is it really that comfortable? I'd think bending or running would be awkward at best.

Id like to see some video of folks drawing their weapon and hitting a few targets with the Smart Carry.

I was always for them. Now that I have one, I will admit, there are times I worry about the twig and berries and the femoral artery. If the gun were to somehow fire (unlikely, I know, I've tried to dry fire it while in the Smartcarry, can't do it) it would ruin my day.

If worn low like the builder recommends, the barrel lays on top of stuff, not pointed at it. I'm not a fan of carry options that point at the femoral artery, either. When I carry appendix, I cant the gun so the barrel points to the outside of my leg rather than into it. I understand your concern about the barrel pointing at you; I just don't understand how it happens when you're wearing the SC. |
