I bought a medium Smartcarry for my Ruger P345. I bought this holster specifically because I don't feel comfortable tucking in my shirt over my bladetech UCH. I thought that the smartcarry would give me yet another option for concealing my pistol.
Because I normally carry my pistol in the UCH, the smartcarry will probably be reserved for church and other occasions where I must tuck in my shirt. My lifestyle allows me to dress comfortably, my normal wear is blue jeans and a loose shirt.
I wore the holster to church last weekend and I was pretty uncomfortable. Not because of the holster, but I was self-concious about the pistol's location. I could see the impression of the grip and so I assumed everyone was looking at it! The maker of the holster says that the wearer is in the worst location (looking straight down) in terms of concealment, and I believe he's right. I never told my wife I was armed and she never said anything, so I assume that if it were noticeable, she would have said something.
Here's my 2 major concerns with this holster.
1)it presses on my *ahem* 'stuff', constantly making me want to readjust
2)when sitting down, my pistol is now aimed across the room.
I wear loose pants so that shouldn't be the problem, I think that the problem may be that I'm used to a combination of loose pants and boxer shorts, therefore any contact is uncomfortable. I'm sure time will fix this one.
in sunday school, we sit in a circle. During the course of the class, I realized that my pistol was trained on the woman sitting across from me.


Do the big 4 rules apply when a weapon is holstered? My IWB is normally oriented so the pistol is facing the ground, I can't think of many realistic situations where it would be trained on someone unintentionally. This is obviously not the case with the smartcarry...any thoughts?
