It works great with the 229. I was concerned that the 229 might be too bulky to carry that way, but it works fine. I carry it low below the waitline, with my regular pants. I never wear real tight pants anyway, but they aren't any bigger than I usually wear.

What really surprised me was how comforable it is!



Ok thanks. I know what holster I am getting next.

Try it a little lower and slightly off to one side. I also prefer firearms with an exposed hammer as I can place my thumb down on the hammer as I draw or holster. That way if I should snag on something I'll feel the hammer starting to move.

I am looking at a smartcarry and have a question. I know there are different sizes for different guns but would there be any way to use the same holster for a glock 23 and a glock 27? Would the 23 even work?

Thanks

I'm not sure, but the folks there seem very friendly and I'm sure they wouldn't mind answering your questions.

If you get a SmartCarry sized for your Glock 23, I'll wager the Glock 27 will fit also.

I use a large ambi holster for an XD-45, and in the other pouch I carry an SP-101. The SP-101 fits fine. It goes down into the holster maybe a little farther than if it were in a medium holster, but it in no way impedes the draw.

The owner of SmartCarry gives a money-back guarantee anyway, so the only thing you have to lose is the cost of shipping if it doesn't work.

I bet it will work. I actually like using a holster on the large side as it seems to pull the gun grip in toward my body a little better.

I purchased the large smartcarry for my XDM 40. I also carry my preferred carry Taurus 24/7 Pro C 45 and a Bersa 383 in it from time to time.

You'll want to buy the smartcarry for the largest gun you'll carry. Then you can put some material in the bottom of the pouches.
(I use "small" pieces of an old t-shirt sleeve.)

The trick is "completely" covering the trigger guard on the firearm but leaving the grip exposed. (Try NOT to have the grip pressing down on the top pouch seam.)

The same goes for your extra magazine. Use enough material to leave the base of the magazine exposed so you can do a quicker reload.

My impression is that there are only a few pouch sizes, and each fits a range of guns. But call Charley and he'll tell advise you.

BTW, I'm happy with my SmartCarry holsters.

Just a side note... I even use my SmartCarry when I'm traveling and not carrying a weapon. I keep my Credit Cards and Money in it!

How does a compact 1911 work in the smartcarry? In particular, the Kimber Ultra Carry II?

Thanks.
