I have had it on for about an hour now and can tell it is going to be a good way to carry. It is plenty good on covering the trigger so it can't get pulled in the holster.
Little bit on the warm side for a holster, but I figured that with so much backing.
I don't know that it will totally replace my kydex holsters yet.

Hadn't thought about that, but make sure you wear cotton between it and your body will help. Pants that are on the loose side will probably let more airflow in too. I'm looking forward to hearing how it does the more you wear it. |

It really is no more on the warm side than the CBST is.
I can tell it is going to break in real easily.
I like that I can carry the gun just as discreetly with the grip above the belt line.
The heavy gun belt may get a rest as a more flexible belt will make it easier to draw.
I don't see me finding anything bad to say about this holster ever. unless the strap breaks. LOL

The draw is a little harder to do with a good grip than from the kydex. It will take some practice to come from tucked carry with this holster to ready for battle.
I am sure practice will help and I am sure I can carry in any pair of pants without a belt with this holster.
I hope to have it well broken in before I go to work in the morning.
I tend to not like tight heavy gun retention holsters. I usually take the hair dryer to the kydex holsters so the gun will jump into my hand.
This holster is flexible and will break in and draw easier after enough times of drawing from it. Just like a leather holster.
My box of holsters is now full of good holsters. LOL

I can honestly say this is the best holster I have for carrying in the manner of dress that I need. I don't even need to blouse to conceal the G19 and a spare mag. I am going to try two mags in the pocket intended for one and see how that goes.
I have never even seen a smartcarry holster other than pictures but they seemed too flimsy to safely carry a glock in for me. ( For me being just that)
I can still hide a gun using my kydex but really don't think I need to keep adding to the holster bill for CCH any longer.
After day one here is what I feel. I can carry with nothing going to show on my belt but my cell phone.
It is comfortable even though it is a little warm. Carrying a gun does give me a warm feeling though no matter what holster.
I won't say it is the most comfortable way I have carried but it is really close and doable.
Especially with the ability to stash and hide a spare mag. without any extra discomfort.
I think this may be the actual last holster I buy since i am getting old and well....

I know I like my SmartCarry having a place for a spare mag. I think the 3-speed looks like the materials used are more durable than the SC, so hopefully it won't wear out as quickly. If I ever buy another holster, it will probably be a 3-speed.

They are stiff enough in the holster area to make it safe to carry a Glock. Not something I think I would really try to do in a smartcarry. I tested this one a lot before loading the glock up and carrying with it. I am no fan of shooting myself over the holster being soft in the trigger area.
After day two of carrying in it I am a lot more comfortable with it. It is right there with the Joab on easy to conceal with.

Now it is broken in and I am thinking I will order another one so I can have one to wear while I clean the other one up. I think these holsters are like underwear you need enough to stay fresh. LOL
It really is the most discreet way to carry I have found.

LOL It really is the most discreet way to carry I have found. How are you supposed to clean it? Throw it in the washer with other clothes? I know that's been one of the downsides to some of that spandex holster wear. Definitely would want to have several, so you wouldn't have to do laundry every night. |

It will handle any manner of cleaning your clothes will. After wearing mine since I got it I took it off of me and smelled it. It needs to be laundered
It works good but since it is so close to the body it doesn't do what kydex will,

This holster has earned my carry in every day status now. Tucked carry is so easy to do using it that makes the most sense of any holster I have. Which are many all good holsters to conceal.
