I hear everyone, including your good info tunnelrat.

I wonder though. I have a SmartCarry. I like it. It seems that the way the smart carry drops it from your mid-line of bending, if you're into appendix carry...shouldn't this be the leader?

Watching the video on the website, the main difference seems to be that it pushes the pistol further down on the body. Many appendix holsters have the ability to adjust the depth of the holster relative to the belt line.

Why I wouldn’t personally be interested in one. I already wear a belt as part of my dress, even when not wearing a firearm. Adding something with a built in belt to that seems bulkier than I would want. Additionally, I don’t want the grip to be that low to my waistband. I specifically want to be able to get a full grip on the pistol as I go to draw, and this seems to me like it would make that somewhat challenging, or more challenging than I’m used to. I also would prefer to have a more rigid holster. I am not a big fan of cloth/nylon holsters, having had mixed luck with them on the past.

Admittedly I haven’t tried this holster, maybe I would in the future. I have looked into the Phlster Enigma, and if I wore sweat pants or athletic shorts regularly I would look at that.
