The Defender is very comfortable and conceals very well. No problems with retention. I do suggest you get the anti-sweat panel. It’s basically an extension of the holster that comes up beyond the hammer that protects your body from uncomfortable hammer gouging.
thanks....for the good report. I've read a ton of great stuff about K&D, thier service, and the wonderful holsters they put out. Originally I was just going to get a crossbreed supertuck...but kept running across the Thunderbird. I also heard several reports of the CB causing a wear mark (maybe even a hole) in the back of a couple of guys pants because the muzzle wasn't fully covered....so I decided to give the Thunderbird a try first and liked the fact that I could go IWB or OWB if I wanted to. Honestly, I'll probably have to wear it IWB tuckable most of the time. I did order it with the sweat panel...I figured having something between me and the gun would add to the comfort as well. may at some point still get the CB too, but hope that the thunderbird will live up to the hype I've read about it!
what do you carry in yours? did it take long to break it in? what clips do you use (standard, c clip, j clip or v clip)? do you have any issues reholstering one handed (as far as the mouth staying open)? if you had it to do all over again...would you? I have never worn an IWB holster (actually never worn a holster)...so I'm hoping to avoid the "box o holsters" and I figured if I started out right could hopefully do that. it seems to be a very popular design that many of the holster makers use and that many who CCW like and use regularly. haven't even gotten my CHL yet, but will be doing my class in the next week or so, so maybe it'll all end up here about the same time.
