    Just got mine in the mail last night. The thing that drew me to this IWB holster vs others is that it completely concealed the gun. I tend to wear more fitted type clothes and don't like the thought of my weapon showing if I'm reaching for something. Ive been carrying an LCP in an uncle George's wallet holster for years, but just got a glock 43 and thought I'd try it out.

    I practiced drawing the weapon about 10 times with my belt tightened to where I usually keep it and the gun got caught up every single time. Frustrating. The video said there's a breaking in period so maybe that'll help out. We'll see. I loosened my belt one notch and it was better, but not perfect. This holster will take some practice and getting used to.

    I wore it for about 30 minutes walking around and sitting and it's pretty comfortable. I don't have any comfort issues with this holster and I'm pretty sure I could wear it all day without any problems.

    So far I like it. It will take some time getting used to, but as I mentioned earlier I love my weapon completely concealed. Hope this helps anyone who is considering it.

      Well your playing with it, do us a favor, draw one handed. With the strong hand that your going to use to shoot with. Assume the weak hand if used elsewhere to defend yourself.

      Also try drawing well seated. Preferable at a dinner table type chair, and well seat belted into you car seat.

      Let us know how those tests go.

      Apparently all but the person who opened the door in SB was seated. They were ducking for cover when the shooting started. With this holster do you think you could draw laying prone on the floor, especially face down?

          Seems fair. Sorry you had to work on a Sunday. Good golf and football on TV this afternoon.

            OK we need the guy with the annoying Well Were Waiting video in his signature line to join this thread.

              Is this the one that goes deep and you pull it up?

              Because I wonder how far you could launch that from a pouch when the adrenaline is a rushin'.

                Sweet, you can deliver your sidearm to the bad guy in under half a second! Then he'll be super appreciative and probably leave you alone.
                Settle down, folks. The new "ghost gun" regulations probably don't do what you think they do.

                  So you throw gun at the bad guy instead of firing it?

                    Yep, I think we can stop right there, don't really even need to figure out what is going to happen when you try to draw seated, kneeling behind cover, or well running. We have now officially found an carry solution worse than the flashbang

                      I'm sending mine back. No need for a review. It's just a descent idea with poor implementation. I did not have the gun fly out like the video, but I am concerned about it each time I tried to draw. I fear in a stressful situation I might pull really hard and the gun will go flying.

                      Also, with jeans on it's pretty obvious you have something in your pants. I'm 6ft 180lbs with 34in waist. My jeans are fairly baggy in all the right spots because I IWB carry regularly. This thing, at AIWB, looks like I have a huge bulge(not in a good way) in my right front pocket. Gun is a Shield.

                      I'm disappointed because it seemed like a good product. But, we all have a box full of what seemed like a good product.....

                        this copy. Thanks for the review. I had two people stop by my booth at the Del Mar gun show asking for this. I have to be honest, there are a lot of good holster my shop doesn't carry for one reason or another, but this and the Versa Carry are two holsters, I really believe could get someone killed.

                        Did you try drawing from a sitting or kneeling position?

                          It does not draw while seated. At least not with the clothes I wear. I had to loosen my belt a notch just to draw standing. I utilize a Smart Carry quite frequently and do not have to loosen my belt. Keep in mind a Smart Carry involves shoving your entire hand down the front of your pants to draw. So this kind of gives you and idea of the complicated logistics going on in your pants with the Urban Carry.

                          I did not try kneeling.

                          This system may work fine for some people. If your curious, try it. They have a trial period. It's just not for me and my body type.

                            I value your input, I couldn't see carrying. We build our product line around being able to draw in a fight, from virtually any position you might find yourself. If they are at SHOT SHOW I will give them a look.

                                Like many holsters, what works for one person, seems impossible to another.

                                The one thing you'll notice about his seated draw is how he straightens his body to draw. This can may be problematic while seat belted in.

                                Also, his holster is really broken-in. Mine does not look or feel like that. I may view the product more favorably if I had the time to break it in. Maybe I'll start wearing it around the house after work. Honestly I probably won't, but it would be more fair to the product.
