OK has anyone tried Thunderwear. NO Really

[Guest Rando]

and if you have what is your thoughts? ie. fit, function, do they bind or pinch, or is it more or less a hidden man purse kind of thing. Gotta find something for warm weather that can carry bigger than a .380 and not all shorts have a lot of backbone if you know what I mean.

I use a similar product called SmartCarry. I love it.

I have 2. One for my Seecamp. One for my Glock 32 or my Glock 33.

Excellent product for when you need DEEP concealment.

Very comfortable. Doesn't restrict movement.

I too have the SmartCarry. In the summer, I carry my XD40sc in it. Mine has the extra pouch where I can easily carry the extended 12 rd mag along side the gun. Although not a very fast draw, it is perhaps the most comfortable way I carry anything. It takes some getting used to where to position it while seated, but even that takes minimal time. If you stay seated most of your day, or driving a lot (like me) you'll likely want to remove your gun to an alternate site for that. But for days that I'm walking a lot, or wearing shorts/sweats/overalls--there is nothing better!

Overall grade for deepest concealment and comfort- A+

Speed of access/draw- B

Quality and CS - A+++ Mr. Parrott is a very, very nice man to speak with and is very attentive. He's the patent owner of SmartCarry. Get the SmartCarry!

Sorry to go long, but I have a strong opinion about this quality product and its utility pertaining to the niche' of ultra-deep concealment!

Carry on!

Don't I remember Marswolf had a radical opinion of the Thunderwear? Maybe I'm wrong...if someone can find that, it'd be funny to merge it here to remember that old grump!!

I have tried the smart carry. I do not like it as well as the active belly band holster. Either is a good thing to have on hand, but alot of folks find them uncomfortable.

I bought a Smart-Carry, 9 yrs.ago, have used it 4 X in 9 yrs. That was within the first month, used with my Glock-27.

The unit is very uncomfortable when driving as well as when using a Urinal!

I've had a SmartCarry holster for about 9 years, too. But I use it all the time. These days, it holds a S&W 340PD revolver, and I wear it under my work pants all week.

I used to use it with a Glock 19, and have even worn that combo while swimming at the beach.

It's secure, discreet, comfortable, and accessible. And using a urinal while wearing it is no problem, provided you're long enough to bend around the holster's edge.

[Guest joeharris]

:DFunny, what i was referring about using a urinal, was that you have to unbuckle your pants, lower the Zipper,then hold the holster up with one hand while urinating!

Getting around the bottem or edge of holster never has been my problem!

Ummmm.. How does one carry when they look a little like this?

Everything seems to cut, bind, dig, and well.. just not be comfortable at all.

Just tuck a snubby up under one boob. That's how Granny always did it.

I think the smart carry is beer belly friendly. Just don't wear it center mass. Slide it off to one side or the other. You could always wear some pantyhose under your jeans to help keep it in place.

Just wear it in the Dunlap Position. Low and cocked to the side a tad.

(maybe a poor choice of words any way you play it)

My belly "Dunlap'd" over my belt too, but if you wear it low enough on the hips, it works fine.
