thunderwear or thunderbelt experiences?

If anyone has any direct experience with these, I'd be interested in knowing which they preferred, and why, and also what type gun they were carrying.

Thanks

I have used Thunderwear to conceal the following on a repeated basis:

Colt Series 70 Lightweight Commander,
Glock Models 19, 23, and 30,
Beretta Model 92S,
Colt Series 70 Government Model,
S & W Model 60 2-inch revolver

It is my favored "office carry" method when I am likely to be dealing with customers and do not wish to flash the piece. It is slow to get into action, especially if you have a paunch. And it does occassionally need to be shifted before you take a seat.

How comfortable are they with say...a Kimber Compact or an Officers model?

I've been using Thunderwear for a few years now. When an appropriate gun, it works great. While I'm not exactly thin or petite, I've been real happy carrying either a Colt Mustang or an S&W 442 in it. I've had a Colt Officers ACP there, but that was a little bulky for me.
