Hi Charlie,

Just used my smartcarry holster for the first time tonight while going out for dinner. Wow, just a super system! I just placed an order for another one, this time for my HK P2000...

Hi Charlie,

I received the SmartCarry tonight. I am totally amazed of how great it works. I am completely happy with the smartcarry and it wears very well and is comfortable. Who would ever think of carrying such a large handgun comfortably like this.

I'm a happy customer, thank you.

He read on our website that one of our dealers, Mr. John Ross of St. Louis, MO, carries one while teaching his classes, so he called and ordered an extra large for his S&W model 500!

Mr. Parrott,

The order arrived yesterday. I know you're busy, but I have to tell you. I am a musician by trade, and the nature of my business allows me to wear very non-restrictive clothing 90% of the time; shorts, t-shirt type pants, sweats, etc., all thngs with no belt and no ability to support a holster. All but the tiniest of pocket pistols (Kel-Tec P3AT) would pull my pants down all day long and aggravate me to no end. Yesterday, I read the instructions, put on your large, and proceeded to have my Glock 17 on me all day long with NO discomfort, distraction, and no one able to tell I was carrying. Your product is incredible!

Due to the nature of my lifestyle, SmartCarry will be my primary carry option. How long can I expect it to last before I'll need to order another one... or two?

Thanks so much for making the ideal carry rig... for me, anyway!

Kindest regards,

Charlie,

I just got off of the phone with you to make a second order and wanted to take a moment to offer praise for your excellent product. I originally heard about SmartCarry through a friend whose father is retired from the Broward County Sheriff's Dept. here in So. Flo. He recommended SmartCarry to his son, as it is comfortable, the most discreet mode of carry, and because most any kind of printing in our area of the country is a definite "No-go".

Needless to say, my buddy and his father were right on the money. In the SmartCarry, my Glock 23 disappears and rides much more comfortably, especially with all of the oversized dress pants I have bought for IWB carry. By the way, my IWBs are getting sold at this point (kydex and leather), and I may be calling you up for a large SmartCarry to try packin' the 1911s. Not sure about the 1911s with the grip safety poking me... but may try it.

Let me know if you ever want to part with that Ithaca. : )

Thanks,

Charlie -

Got my holsters in today's mail - man you're fast! And the holsters are what I was hoping for. They are true lower abdomen/groin holsters and you were right on with the fit. It is always a pleasure to do business with someone who knows his stuff!

I have found that the small you sent me for my PPK is, in fact, also ideal for a 5 shot snub which, all things considered, I prefer for last-ditch defense. The gun is invisible when worn according to directions, it is handy and quick and will work with any type of pants I own, including bicycling shorts. The 1911 holster ALSO works with them, which surprised me to no end. I conceal a 1911 pretty well in an IWB setup but it is NEVER comfortable.

Your rig IS comfortable and allows carrying a heavy, full-sized gun in great comfort and without printing, muss or fuss or bother. This is important in California where the cops tend to shoot at any sign of a gun, permits being hard to come by. The uniforms around here have shot undercovers making arrests and have taken shots at plainclothes detectives as well.

So I now feel that I've established, with your help, a safe, quick and invisible method of carry. The holster is very high quality, very well made and represents great thinking on your part. I get only 3 guns (by serial number at that) on my CCW but it is clear that you have by far the best thinking on concealment.

Best Regards,

I just recieved my smart carry holster. It was ordered for my Bersa thunder 380. It fit great. I then thought what if I try my Taurus 38 snub. I am in love. It feels like I'm not even carrying. Thank you so much. When I holster my Bersa, I look down and can see a print of my grip. I know that is because of my angle of view but my taurus just disappears. Thanks again I feel confident holstering either weapon.

Thanks Charlie !

I have tried many conceal carry holsters and my problem has always been lack of comfort. I've been wearing my SmartCarry for several days now and there is no doubt it is by far the most comfortable conceal carry holster I've ever experienced. THANK YOU CHARLIE !!!

You asked for suggestions so I'm giving mine:
Many of us ladies do not wear tucked in shirts all the time, or undershirts like men. So the only problem I have with the SmartCarry is that the Velcro band "edges" do scratch my skin. My suggestion is to stitch on an additional layer of denim on the back side (skin side) of the Velcro band that sticks out a fraction wider than the band itself. That would make the SmartCarry the absolute "Perfect" conceal carry holster ever.

Many thanks,

S. J. - Azie, TX

Webmaster's note: We informed S. how you can put a 4" or so wide strip of cotton, like cut from a t-shirt, as long as it needs to be, under the Velcro® and stop the problem.

Hi Charlie

I needed to take time to send you a quick e-mail on how happy I am with your holster. I was like most people who had doubts, but when it arrived I tried it on immediately and loved it. I have the small size holster for my Taurus pt111 because I did not really think that I could conceal anything larger, (yes, even though many people have sent e-mails saying they can), and I am now convinced that I want to carry a full size handgun and am currently looking to buy another handgun.

I am really surprised that nobody has noticed my handgun concealed in your smart carry holster. I have a friend who is so observant that I was sure he would notice it right away but I wore it all day and he did not have a clue. I have to admit when you first put it on you are a little paranoid because the butt of the gun does show a little but now I think its because I know its there. I have even had cops walk by me or just stop to say hi, (now that gets you paranoid!! Hahaha), and they have not noticed. I am almost ready to order my second smart carry, but first need to decide what kind of handgun I want. Thanks again for a great holster and a very happy customer. I have had the holster for about a month and will give you an update once more time has passed.

Hello,

Being from California it's very difficult to get a CCW here (I still don't have one) but I travel to several other States often and I have a Utah CCW which allows me to carry in many of the States I travel to. My needs required a holster that provided me with total concealment of a large frame automatic. I carry a ParaOrdnance LDA 1445; a 1911 Government style pistol with a double stack magazine. This is a big wide gun which is hard to hide especially on my frame: I'm 5'9" and 145 lb. Over the years, I've gotten myself a couple of shoulder rigs and some belt holsters which worked well with a cover garment but, as you know, they have their limitations in concealing a big gun. In preparing for an upcoming trip in the middle of summer, I needed a rig that could be concealed with minimal clothing. After several days of research to find a better concealment rig I figured I'd give your SmartCarry a try.

I was understandably skeptical but it's only a $50 investment and you have an iron-clad return guarantee so I really didn't have much to loose. By the way, for those that balk at $50 for a holster, I quote from some posters on packing.org, "if you spend upwards of $500 for a gun that's supposed to defend your life, why would you skimp on a holster and risk it not performing the way you need it to?"

Anyway, I received the SmartCarry within a week of ordering it and started wearing it the very next day. I used a filled epoxy resin copy of my carry pistol to practice wearing it. Nobody at work noticed it nor did my girlfriend when I saw her in the evenings. I should add that I wear my clothes rather close and somewhat form fitting so with the SmartCarry in place things were a bit "cozy" but not uncomfortable or binding.

Although if I had an itch under my gun it was agony till I made it to the restroom to address it Regarding comfort, I drove for four hour stretches, three stretches per day, without any problems. Most of the time I didn't know it was there. In the 90°-100°+ heat I did sweat a bit but the gun stayed dry thanks to the Cushmax backing. The entire time I was traveling, none of my friends or colleagues had a clue I was packing unless I told them which usually I didn't. I should also comment that there was a bit of a learning curve to figure out how to use and position the SmartCarry but once I found the "sweet spot" it was great. To summarize, the SmartCarry cannot be beat for deep concealment and extended carry of a big, heavy gun with minimal clothing, and I'm very happy with your product.

Thanks,

            Dear Mr. Parrott,

            Thank you for the very prompt shipment of my Smart Carry holster. The order was placed on 8/1 and I received it in the mail on 8/4. Both my Steyr M9 and S40 fit perfectly and it is extremely comfortable to wear and carry with. Your product certainly works as advertised and I am very pleased with my purchase. Hope to do business with you in the future. Thanks again.

I have been using your holster for about two months now. I have found it to be comfortable, of high quality, and most of all, CONCEALABLE. The ultimate test for me is that my wife does not know I have been wearing your holster. I am completely satisfied. Thanks for a great product.

Hi Charlie,

I just thought I'd drop you a quick note to tell you that I like the SC so much that it is my primary carry holster now. I sometimes used my IWB, but the SC is just unbeatable for concealment. I can even conceal pretty easily under a white t-shirt.

Thanks again,

I just finished trying it and it is the MOST comfortable concealed holster I've ever worn, PLUS my wife couldn't see it at all. Even she, who is not real 'holster' savy, said it was 'cool'...I was amazed that you almost can't feel it!

Many thanks!

Charlie, I have a small, medium and large SmartCarry - I successfully carry either my Glock 30 (medium SC) a full size 1911 (SIG GSR - largeSC) a model 19 S&W 357 Revolver (4"barrel-largeSC) or my S&W 38 Revolver(small SC) totally undetected! I wear business casual type clothing with shirt tucked most of the time, your holsters allow me the flexibility to carry whatever I want or what suits my attire - I never have to walk around unarmed, I am comfortable and nobody has a clue. Thank you for a great product!

Hi Charlie,

I received the smart carry shortly after the email below and have been using it with my Sig P229, and my Keltec P11. This is an outstanding deep concealment holster! Remarkable is the only word for how well it comfortably conceals. My wife was visiting grand kids when the holster arrived so as a little test, I have been wearing Smart Carry around the house, with and with out a shirt and she was amazed that she did not notice it when I let her in on the deal early this week.

I am also testing a tiny Kel-Tec P3AT, using a few more safety pins.

My question to you is, would the smaller size Smart Carry make carrying the mouse gun even more comfortable? I believe this is an area (no pun intended) that additional investment for comfort and concealment is well worth the investment, provided there is a noticeable difference. What is your advice? I know it will be correct, because you have exceeded my expectations to date.

Thanks in advance for the advice and congratulations on a great holster!
