Re: Is the Smartcarry, smart?

I've used a SmartCarry occasionally, over the last few years, and although it's not the perfect carry method (what is?), it is very useful in certain circumstances.

I'm a large man and I can conceal a large semi-auto in mine, fairly well, if I'm going to be wearing loose pants (khakis, etc.) and mostly standing up. A subcompact or J-Frame is more comfortable, especially if sitting a lot, but I do avoid wearing the SmartCarry if I'm expecting to be seated a lot, because it is virtually impossible to draw from a seated position.

Yes, it gets pretty hot if you get forced out into the heat for extended periods. These days, I carry mostly a .45, IWB, if possible. The Smartcarry is reserved for those times when I can't carry IWB. I have a pocket .380 (LCP) that I will carry if it is the best I can do, but I much prefer a small 9mm (CZ RAMI or Kahr K-9) in the SmartCarry, if it's practical for the occasion.
