Smart Carry Holster

[Chunky Monkey]

Does anyone out there have, use, or CCW in a Smart Carry holster.  I've been considering another IWB holster for my XD 9SC when I came accross the SC web site.  I was reading the comments and this sounds like great way to carry.  Most likely going to order one (can't beat the price) but I would like to hear from a few of you that have or use one.

I carry my PM9 in one fairly often.  An IWB is better but when you have to carry it deeply concealed, the Smart Carry works well.

Beeing that the XD9SC is much wider than the Kahr, it would be a good idea to invest in some loose pants. You will most likely find that it may pinch a bit.

I've carried a full size Glock in the Smart Carry for several years, as well as a compact Glock, a baby Glock, a Gov't 1911 and S&W snubbies.  The full size Glock and the 1911 are not all that comfortable, to say the least. The baby Glock and snubbies are great, and while I had a Kahr K40 for a while, I don't recall carrying it in the Smart Carry. I think it would have been perfect, due its flatness and length. Currently, I carry a Glock 17 this way, as my job requires a tucked in shirt and khakis (or nicer), and I've not yet purchased a Glock 30.

My recommendation if you want to use Smart Carry is a Glock/Kahr/XD compact or smaller, a double action revolver, or something else of similar size with a heavy trigger pull. This is due to the way you have to draw. While the trigger literally cannot be reached from  outside the holster, your hand is at a funny angle for the draw, with the pants and belt pushing in on the drawing hand.

Can someone point me to a link for this rig? I find myself in need of a holster...all of a sudden.

Not to correct you Don, but search engines are your friend.

Google is an evil, gun-grabbing bunch of narcissistic weenies in California who see nothing wrong with cooperating with the Red Chinese government, but won't lift a finger to help the FBI catch child porn dealers.

Just in case.. www.smartcarry.com is the site.  There is also Thuderwear, at www.thunderwear.com.

I have used both for quite a number of years, and I have several.  Depending on what I am wearing, I carry a Kel-Tec P11, a Kimber Compact, or a full size 1911.   I will try out the XD9 next as I am reaching the point where I am comfortable with it.  The Kel-Tec, being small, works the best.  The Kimber is not a problem, but yeah, it is a tad on the large side.  The full size 1911 is a bit more so, but not terrible.  Same as trying to use an IWB, clothing selection does make a difference.

Just looking at the website and not having used it, I prefer a regular ol' fitted, leather, IWB holster for CCW.
I don't really see a benefit to the SC or Thunderwear.

If I need to conceal that deep, I think a j frame in the pocket would be better (and faster).
Might also cut down on those "Or are you just happey to see me" comments.

I've always wondered whether they worked or not!!!
