My 5'3" wife carries her Kimber Ultra Aegis II in a SmartCarry. She would give you a thumbs-up.

That was a concern of mine as well, but with a little practice it's not hard to draw at all. I just have to get "reprogramed" a bit as I'm used to carrying IWB at 3:30.

I tried mine with my SP101 as well and it works great. One holster for two guns, plus the storage compartment for cash and credit cards is a nice plus too.

Charlie Parrot is one of the best guys in the holster business and he has a great product. No, I am not trolling. I have bought stuff from Charlie since about 2000. He is one of the good guys. I have bought Sentry gun lubes and Marine Tough cloths from him too.

I have carried 3-in 1911's, H&K USPc's in .40 and .45 and a couple of Sigs in them.

They take some getting used to but for warm weather attire you can't beat em.

I promise I am not trolling for Charlie...

I think i'm going to have to try one. Do any of you practice drawing and firing? Have any issues or things you have differently?

One thing I did that increased the comfort issue significantly is to mismatch the velcro strap, bring my underwear up inside and turn down the rear 1/2 inch and affix it to the strap. Otherwise the strap would ride up and gouge the small of my back.

The strap is firm, and it was uncomfortable. But doing this procedure kept it from riding up, and also secured everything in place.

Another issue is that often people try to wear it too high. It was designed to hang low in front. For me, this not only aids in comfort, but also aids in concealment. I've seen videos where the grip is belt level or a bit higher, but my grip is a couple inches below the belt line. Unless your belt has a strangle-hold on you, carrying lower does not impede the draw.

Another benefit of the SC hanging low is that prevents your gun from pointing at anything important.

That's a great idea! I've been carrying 24/7/365 with a Smartcarry for over 3 years now. The only thing that has bothered me is having to jiggle the strap back down a couple of time a day when it rides up over the underwear in the back. I'm gonna try that one - thanks for the tip!!!!

I hope you can find a way to make it work for you. It makes all the difference for me. The underwear and SC become one unit, and neither moves out of place.

Note: I do NOT turn the underwear waistband down in the front--it's not necessary. Somewhere along both sides it creases back to the normal way, and I never feel the bump where the waistband crosses itself and reverts to normal.

Good luck! I can see you are committed to the SC already, but I hope this helps make a good system even better for you.

I have been wearing it "Grady style" since I last posted - what a difference, it never rides up in the back now!
I wonder if Charley at SmartCarry knows about this?

Thanks again,
Bobo

Great!

As far as Charlie knowing about it, apparently it doesn't bother too many people because I rarely hear of others complain about it riding up in back.

Anyway, I'm glad it's working out for you!
