My new favorite line, "Once I unbutton my pants, everything will be fine."

[@ryanthomas2374]

Women feel very confortable when i use that line.

[@acejake7500]

i know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me

[@kaysenjaxon9571]

@Ace Jake instablaster :)

[@duvalpenny100]

I suggest making a hole in the holster so you can pee through your trigger guard.

[@bench175]

thanks for the tip! not that tip, the other kind

[@Robmancan1987]

Now that's a negligent discharge waiting to happen.😂

[@13c11a]

Hahahaha!

[@shepherdosouls8654]

Im laughing my ass off at this!!

[@ishdrumgo7604]

I embarrassed myself with this holster by peeing on myself, the holster is not practical, comfortable yes but not practical at all.

[@coreypolite9831]

Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? Yes!

[@bretmoore6828]

At first I wasn't sure if this was a practical solution. In fact, I didn't use it for a couple of years; I stored it. Then recently I started using it in a setting where I needed "deeper" concealment, and now I really appreciate it. It is so comfortable that I forget it's even there. And it doesn't pull your pants down. It can be worn in shorts with loose elastic, because it provides its own support. Urinating is easy as well. It is a great solution.

[@PaladinMthe13th]

Thank you very much for this video review. I'd seen another review praising the holster, but they didn't show how it was actually worn. I appreciate your tasteful way of displaying this.

[@rafaelmadrigal1534]

Good advice, thank you. I did get one but, now I can adjust it for best concealment thanks to your video. And you are right, it does not feel like you are carrying anything and is out of the way in any position. Easy to sit, bend over, walk, run, etc...love it.

[@wallypalmer4704]

I have one of these, and I totally recommend it for us big guys. I am a lefty myself, and I have found that it works best for me if I turn the holster so that my gun rests on my left thigh when I sit down. I found that if I wore it right over my crotch, it didn't work so well when I sat down (it made me look like I was..."excited", which might be OK, and even look impressive if I carried a 500 S&W, but not so much with an LC9). Anyway, when I wear it so that it sits on my left thigh, it is super comfortable, easily accessible, and leaves no print whatsoever. I love it!

[@golfblood22]

Im a big guy myself. Looking to use this for gym carry and cycling, would you recommend it for those activities?

[@ericlawson9404]

"A well concealed weapon, and quick access to your gun." How can you not bust out laughing. But a good product.

[@anthonymcbride1158]

A lot of negative comments here. I was a naysayer as well, but I'm open minded enough to actually buy one and give it a try. It would take a lot to get me to give up my crossbreed. It took a couple of days of use, but I was sold. The most comfortable holster I've ever worn. I don't understand all of the concern about shooting your junk. This is no more likely than shooting yourself through the kidney when you draw from an IWB holster. Only an incompetent person would shoot themselves while drawing from any holster. I never have to adjust this holster through the day. I can't say the same for others I own ( I have seven lightly used ones in my closet). As far as the urinal is concerned, you usually have to pull the zipper out of the way, your tucked shirt and underwear out of the way......and it is absolutely no effort at all to push the holster out of the way with the back of your hand. I have never had anyone detect that I was carrying a weapon while standing at a urinal. Open your mind.....it's a big world out there.

[@MrPlowboy66]

You have two kidneys.

[@EmptyMirrorMindful]

@@MrPlowboy66LOL! I liked the idea at first too but no way in hell I would carry round in the chamber with this one. It makes a good protector though if someone where to attempt to kick in your jewels. Another reason to be chamberless.

[@hjc4604]

@@MrPlowboy66 Kidneys are very vascular and you will probably bleed out quick if you shoot one. And are you sure you have 2 functioning kidneys? Most people assume they do but sometimes one doesn't, some people are only born with one. You really can't tell unless you get scanned as the are buried behind the abdominal organs and have ribs behind them. Anyway, you do what's best for you! I like my SmartCarry!

[@MyREDTAIL]

No problems with this Holsters when using the Mens Room , just pull it up to your Chest area when sitting etc, Works great also.

[@anthonymitchell6831]

I have owned mine for years and I have tried many holsters before that. By far my favorite holster. I can wear all day and forget I have it on.

[@jeffhaberman4331]

The only negative thing I have to say is, I would NEVER wrestle with my kids with a loaded gun on me!!!! What an assinine thing to suggest.

[@closer71]

This is the best I’ve seen yet! Great design.

[@MyREDTAIL]

After a Failed Back Surgery 3 Yrs ago, I could not wear a hip holster to to the Back Pain that it caused. But with the Smart Carry i have no problems caring all day with it no back pain at all.

Thanks for the demo

[@hayesman76]

Great review and demonstration. I your organization 100%!

maybe al was contemplating going postal the whole time...

[@Atilowski]

I carry appendix daily a 808C with a kydex holster. Always pointed at my nuts, that's normal. I'm pretty familiar with that and used to train a lot from there. When it comes to equipment, it doesn't matter which or how, as long as it works safely and effectively.

[@duenadelmonte]

Hey, I love all your advice, it's great and on-target. But what about some info on the latest in concealed cary for females? i just bought a beautiful leather handbag outfitted on both sides with a lateral zippers, same compartment securely housing your gun but with optional entrances.

[@whollyfree]

great vid......was my first CCW holster

[@netminderchuck9320]

I’ve used mine for about 6 years, and I love it.

[@027MC7]

Just got mine. Loving it so far. Quick tip for everyone. If you order their new one made with room for a kydex trigger guard, you can fit a gun with laser or flashlight attached. I took a big chance and ordered one with exactly this in mind. It works great!

[@COYOTE165A]

Bought one about 3 Yrs ago.? Love it when wearing Shorts,& Sweat Pants etc.Very comfortable to wear,? Even with a full size gun.

[@jdjz62]

Great review , very well done!

[@MyREDTAIL]

I said the same thing, when I first opened up the Package, But it's a great concealment Holster

[@chrisboyd1408]

Great job

[@frankbiz]

So this takes adjusting your junk to a whole new level.

Thank you!

"Boom, there it is" ... Sorry, couldn't resist.

[@swaghauler8334]

I'll keep my pocket holster. I can draw from it one handed and a good pocket holster (not an Uncle Mikes) doesn't really print that much. A good "modification" to keep your pocket holster in your pocket during the draw is to cover it with double sided skateboard/traction tape from Walmart.

[@USCCAOfficial]

Thanks for the comment, swaghauler!

[@LongBoi33]

Grip Tape is the term you are looking for sir

[@Bigdaddy13568]

People always think I have a gun right there :)

[@Radio4ManLeics]

That should be interesting when you need to use a urinal!

[@michaelbyrneskiai]

I used to keep a spare magazine and my EDC light in the other side of my smart carry holster until one time I was getting something out of the trunk of the car with my girlfriend's friend and she said do you have a flashlight and I reach down my pants she didn't know I carried a gun but I had to play it off like I had an itch and I was forgot who I was with instead of pulling out of light from my junk I just turned one Awkward Moment into a different Awkward Moment.... true story

[@miked8227]

That comment made me laugh so hard I had to wipe the tears from my eyes

[@jasonusaf6326]

"Very quick access to your gun" as he reaches in lol

This reminds me of that old May West line is that a gun In your pocket or are you just happy to see me

[@LeLilley1]

I just don't know . . . honestly I can't seem to get comfortable with ANY owb or iwb holster. So I end up pocket carrying or not carrying at all! This at least looks somewhat comfortable. Great video!! Thank you!

[@LowkeyOnSomeShii]

🤦🏽‍♂️ too some degree it’s not suppose to be comfortable it suppose to keep you safe .

[@StretchReality]

That’s VERY close to my special space..... not sure how comfortable I’d be knowing I could have an accidental sex change

[@sluggonotnancy6178]

@Nelson Gill....That's why Bruce Jenner isn't a "spokesman" anymore.

[@bradtbickford]

what's funny is these guys with these deep concealment holsters never show themselves drawing from a seated position. A good holster can be drawn immediately from any position, standing, seated, lying, prone, any. When you need access to it on an emergency situation the bad guy's not going to give you time to stand up so you can draw.

[@jamesdees6166]

The only reason I am even looking a one of these is employer policies where I don't want to get caught exercising my 2nd. I stand all day anyways

[@Paelorian]

We know deep concealment holsters aren't ideal, but they're used when less concealed holsters aren't an option. Sometimes it doesn't matter if your gun is partially exposed bend you bend over of if you print. Other times just letting someone get the idea that you may be carrying could cost you your career and damage the lives of yourself and your family. That may very well be a more present danger than a situation that calls for a rapid draw. In such an instance, one can not afford to give anyone any evidence that you're carrying a gun. If you don't need deep concealment, don't do it.

[@tlelliott-nc2384]

It's for when you can't use a "regular' holster (IWB for example). If you are wearing a suit to a business function, you may have to remove your coat-- exposing your IWB or OWB holster. If you're going to watch a ball game or mow the grass in shorts and no shirt, it works there too. So yes, other holsters allow drawing from any position but NOT while remaining concealed. This one is a compromise. (And yes, you can draw from them while seated-- but not a super quick draw certainly.) It's a great product.

[@user-ss6zt2mo1l]

Brad Bickford Maybe the CCW Scottish Kilt will be invented. 😆

[@rs52594]

The founder of SmartCarry (who unfortunately died back in January) has a video on KZbin called "About the SmartCarry" where he demonstrated drawing it from a seated position.

[@mdkrush]

Wow... 9 years ago and I ordered one today. LOL!

[@grumpyoldman2380]

does the velcro make any noise when you move around?

[@OnHoldAt50]

You didn't want to redo the part where the gun got caught on your pants trying to draw it? That's the amount of time the perpetrator needs to react to your draw - baam you're dead. hmmm

[@BwantleyBoo]

I wonder if you can swing it around and keep it at the 4 o’clock position.

[@edward9285]

Any holster that requires 2 hands to access your pistol is not effective. Backup? Okay then, but why not use a headband holster if you enjoy tempting fate so much?

[@TexasScout]

Beer guts, like me, don't even try....

[@CHIPPOFISHING]

serious question,,,,, why not 2 inches to right or left,,,, seems like weapon would be in crease between leg and junk??????

[@royalwapiti]

I have come across several people who swear by these. They usually carry autos such as LCP or Shield. Buying holsters is tough, if you don't like them you can not always return them. You get stuck with a $50 or 70 item.

[@13c11a]

Do you put them on one leg at a time?

[@brianolson8647]

This is a great candidate for jaboody dubs.

[@sonicx-9950]

Do USCCA members get a discount for the smart carry holster.

[@DanielArthur_profile]

I'd have a couple concerns about this (and probably most deep concealment holsters). First, it looks like I'd have to halfway undress to reholster. Next, it looks like bathroom breaks might be a little challenging. But probably my biggest concern would be it looks like you need the use of both hands to be most effective with this holster which is a big drawback in my opinion.

[@uusa2000]

Reholstering is your least concern if u had to unholster it in the first place

[@tomguitar82]

Serious question, what do you do with it when you are out in public and have to use a public restroom?

[@ashkajioni]

You can easily scoot it to the side. You can still fish your junk out and then reposition afterwords.

[@truthseeker1328]

I had the very same question. Did you buy one and if so, any troubles or challenges at the urinal?

[@tebogophora2304]

it means u can use a set toilet to be private

[@pete5668]

This is how The Sopranos become sopranos.

[@ChrisSlack]

Good video. I use my Smart Carry about 60% of the time. I never need to worry about printing.

[@frankiegunnz8066]

Is It really good?

[@ChrisSlack]

+Frankie Gunnz yes, nothing about the holster is "cool" or "sexy" and your draw speed will be reduced by a second. Knowing that I'm 100% concealed is worth it.

[@frankiegunnz8066]

+Chris Slack What do you use the other 40% of the time?

[@tomarmstrong4761]

Duluth Trading Company sells trousers they call "Ballroom" jeans, work pants, etc. I expect this will help people to know that there are p@nt$ with extra room. I've been wondering about the Smart Carry holsters because I like wearing a kilt instead of p@nt$. This video is helpful!

[@ronzandroid]

Upon practicing with the smart carry holster, I accidentally yank on the wrong gun. I guess I got a little too excited. ;p

Reholstering? What are your experiences?

[@Sambro67]

Oh boy

[@HydroMedix]

I have worn one for years, very comfortable, very concealed, and a fast draw. What more could you want?

[@ScoobyDrewski]

how do u draw it seated l?

[@USCCAOfficial]

This one is definitely not friendly for drawing from a seated position, Drew.

[@ScoobyDrewski]

Thanks for the info Sir! 😃 ill stick with my Galco king tuck.. But i wonder if this would be nice like just for wearing a suit to a wedding or something

[@xyzsing4038]

What if the velcro and elastic gives away and then the whole things sticks or falls off including your gun? Velcro, elastic can become weak with use and over time. Then what?

[@paulbunyun3663]

buy another one

[@hjc4604]

Talked to a cop in NC. I told him I was carrying a full sized 1911-A1 and 2 mags. He asked where and I showed him. He said "Christ, I couldn't even tell! Hey Bob, come here, you gotta see this!" I was wearing a t-shirt and jeans.

[@edolson4186]
