Anyone use the under arm wrap holster?

I'm leaning towards this as my holster. I've got to get it out of my purse and onto my person.
Anyone use this as their daily carry method?
Edited to show what I'm talking about.

interesting....
looks kinda bulky, and hot, and I personally would be concerned about that one strap rubbing around my arm, but I'm kinda sensitive that way, my bra straps can't rub wrong or I'll go crazy. but it looks interesting. I can see how, if you wore something loose it would just disappear.
so, what problem are you looking to solve? do you have a regular holster? for "jean days"? is this for dress days? or is this for always?

It looks well concealed, but what if a LEO wants to disarm you "for his safety"?
That is the reason I don't have Thunderware or like items.

You would not be able to wear it that high.
No personal experience here, but in my opinion, I would rather take a bra down to a seamstress, and have a nylon holster sewn to the side of it. The position would be a little higher, and it wouldn't get as hot as the elastic band. You can have the idea, and I hope you make a fortune!
An alternative is those undershirts that have a holster sewn in, but you have to buy them tight to prevent the pistol shifting. I wear them fishing all the time.
That is a clever idea!!! I might just have to play with it....I have a couple of old bras I can play with....oh my...the brain is on over load now....if y'al don't see me for a while it's all George's fault

This looks like just a belly band type holster with shoulder straps attached. While it conceals well, it does not appear to be easily accessible, which is just one of those things you have to trade off with all holsters. It either conceals well, or draws easily. You decide which you can live with.
Personally, I have never been happy with any holster that puts the firearm up high, under the armpit. Just too difficult to draw, for me. But, you do have the option of moving it to the center, so that is a plus.

I bought my wife a Air Marshal 3 from
http://www.kangaroocarry.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; in effort to find something that would work for her..
It was universally disliked by both her and I after wearing it for a few days.
The "band" tends to shift and bunch up.. The velcro attachment point tends to shift, and move while in use over the day.
I (we) like the idea, but in execution this one holster in this one model and size did not work. Kangaroo is a Huston based company so we plan on riding up there one day and let them "suggest" an optimal model and size, then test fit it .

Not sure on that other brand... But on the Kangaroo carry.. Draw, especially from a seated position is very easy and quick once you practice. It is a different way of thinking.. and takes some practice for sure.
Pretty sure we wore out the neck of a few shirts getting ready to use this holster

Let's be blunt here. You gentlemen are posting in the "Ladies" section. We are talking about holsters for WOMEN.
Just because you can easily draw from this holster, under the arm, does not mean that a woman can. There are added physical challenges for women that men do not have.

This looks a lot better than a "FlashBang" I'm going to save the info for ladies that ask me about carry.

The concelment may be ok, but the accessibility in a emergency situation with the physical challenges of my wife would concern me.

And with that rebuke I'll bow out.
Thought I was pretty clear,, my comments were based on my wifes (a lady) observations..
But perhaps it was not clear.
Best of luck to the OP....
