What's IWB? In waist band?

SigSig,

I looked through the thread and didn't see a suggestion for the invisible holster...the SmartCarry. http://www.smartcarry.com/index.html

Wow...just went to their website to get the link...it is MUCH improved over the old site.


But back to the product at hand...I bought one of these holsters a while back and I just love it. I feel like I can carry pretty much everywhere and nobody will notice....if they do, they'll think its something else. I have worn it everywhere from on a jog (it felt completely secure the entire time) to on a 3 hour drive (didn't get uncomfortable after being in the same position for hours on end). They have some excellent options now too...mine is just a plain holster with the mag pocket, but you can get a security pocket on the back, two gun holsters, all kinds of cool stuff.

Here are a couple of photos of me after I got back from a run (hence the clothes...no need to make fun.) You can see that there is something there in the side photo...and barely in the front photo...you have to be looking for it though.

Also keep in mine I'm fat...so my gut is pushin' the gun out as best it can to get people to check it out and I'm carrying a full width Steyr M9-A1 (stack and a half...~1.56" w/ the Hogue grip I have on it)

Just something you might want to look into...the draw will be a little slower than a strongside holster...but can get very close to the same speed with enough practice!

Is that a pistol in your pants or are you just excited to be here? :whistle:

You know, I thought the same thing, but thought it the better part of valor to not say anything... :roll:

I OC occasionally, and my husband's not too keen on it either, though there have been a couple of times when he didn't even realize I was carrying until we got home. I'm in the market for an OWB (outside the waistband) holster at the moment. Anyone think I'll have any luck at the Chantilly show in a couple of weeks?

I'm sorry and I hope I haven't offended anyone, especially the poster. Sometimes I just can't help myself and words just fall out of my fingers and/or my mouth. I really should work on that. :blush:

You may,, The last one I went to the holster selection was lousy..Very few and what they had was crap! I get lucky on Ebay occasionally, Or if you aren't in a rush ,keep cruising the web with your search engine and one may turn up on sale..I thought about Gun Brokers but those boneheads all think its a bargain to try and get full price on an auction atmosphere,

OWB - you want a paddle or a belt-type? What other options are there?

Over 1,100 holsters available at AIG Tactical. Surely you can find the one you need there! :wave:

I glanced through your selection, there, Rick, but I think I'm just far too picky. :roll: Now if you ever get a leather crossdraw holster with a thumb break, for a 2" bbl S&W J frame, in a left-hand draw, do drop me a note (or did you have one that I missed?)...

See? I'm picky...

It's ok to be picky. You need to be happy with whatever you get. I would want it no other way!
