Looking for opinions on this type of product. Typically I carry IWB, some OWB, once in a while a fanny pack. Not an idea for daily carry but looking for a non waistband option. A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work. | ||

Hello Sam, Useful for non-permissive environments. Hard to access but good concealment. Best jpj3 | |||

Sam, Take a look at UnderTech Concealment Shorts at the Glock Store website. We sell them in our gun store. My wife wears them every day with her SIG 938. | |||

Thanks for the input. My post was lonely. I'll have to check them out. Minorly for some places, looking at them more for beltless leisure wear (sweat pants, scrubs, etc.). A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work. | |||

I've used both Thunderwear and a belly band type holster. The Thunderwear was pretty comfortable and the gun is pretty accessable. Of course, if you ever need to get your gun out of your Thunderwear holster, it will look kind of funny as you go for your crotch. Thunderwear would also only be for a pretty small gun like a Kel Tec P3AT. | |||

I am big fan of the belly band position and fake buttons Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

Being pretty round I think a belly band would cause major printing. A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work. | |||

I've used my Thunderwear holster for deep concealment very successfully with a G2 or S&W642 and find it reasonably comfortable given how it's configured to be worn. | |||

My thoughts on concealment after 30 years of being armed 1) If it is not easily accessible it is of little personal protection, many days I wore uncomfortable clothing to make my defense weapon accessible. period 2) The majority of police shootings involve disarming the officer of his own weapon. I am emphasizing police only to demonstrate people who receive weapon protection and retention training. The only secure holster that is easily retained is one with a strap over the top of the weapon, trigger guard and attached by a belt to keep it on you. Again Many days I wore uncomfortable clothing for this purpose. Being shot by your own gun is lack intelligence and training. I have seen officers in plain clothes with their weapon in the flat of their backs....I would ask them how would you retain that if someone wanted it??? I have chased suspects could also be you fleeing from someone and seen their guns fall out, what do you do? go back and get the gun or keep running?? With the right to carry comes a great responsibility Agents that worked organized crime people and had co operating individuals working with LE would laugh when they would attend meetings in bathing trunks by open pools or sauna rooms to ensure no one had a weapon or was wearing a wire.

I got the smartcarry just over a week ago. Love it. I have been carrying from when I wake up, walking the dog before and after work, in the house, shopping, etc. I'm seeing the trade off: it's not a speed draw holster, but you can pretty much carry 24 hours a day. And the draw is actually pretty quick. Clearly, I like it. | |||
