I received the holster today in the mail and I've already tried it out in public. I am very pleased with it's performance. I know that it will allow me to carry comfortably, as often as possible.
Do you have any kind of company policy on replacing the velcro straps on the holster? I'm just thinking ahead!
Anyway, thanks for the great product!
Sincerely,
D. A. - Portland, OR
Webmaster's note: We've e-mailed D. that we've never had the Velcro® (or the elastic) on one of our hosters fail, and that he'll wear the holster out before there is a problem with the Velcro® or elastic!
Charlie:
I just wanted to let you know how great I think the SmartCarry is. I've never even owned a gun before and I had to figure everything out for myself. I did a search on the internet and your site was one of the first to come up. How lucky is it that I found such a great product on the first try?
I didn't have any experience with concealed weapons and having a full size Glock, I thought it would be difficult to conceal in any manner. But the SmartCarry really does a great job of concealment with easy accessibility. The construction is solid and it is very comfortable. I'm not sure I am ever going to completely forget that I have it on, but it is very comfortable in both standing and sitting. I've been using it for a month today and I'm very impressed.
One other thing that impressed me was the friendly, professional service I received and the speed of delivery. That is part of the whole sales experience that some companies forget, but not you.
If I ever have the opportunity to recommend your product, I certainly will.
Thank you!

I received your holster today and all I can say is WOW!!! I worn every holster under the sun and let me say the smart carry is by far the best one I've put on my body. What a great design. I wore it all day today and it was so comfortable I forgot it was there. The best part about it...it's completely invisible to any onlookers. My girlfriend didn't even know I had it on till I showed her and the end of the day. I've recommended it to all of my friends who carry, and I'm going to recommend it to everyone else I know who owns a firearm. All in all you guys created one great product. Keep up the good work!
Thank You,
E. M. - Goodview, TXThanks for the great service, and above all, thank you for having invented the SmartCarry and *forcing* me to try one at the gun show!! It's the best.
R. F. - Longwood, FLThe tracking # on the package is EU468548652US and it shipped this morning via Global Express mail w/ a 2 to 3 day delivery time, according to the clerk at the post office. The shipping cost was less than the USPS website indicated, so I've issued a credit of $23.00 to your MasterCard. Now if all the involved postal services do their job, it should arrive well before April 4. Thanks again for your order!

Webmaster's note: The above customer ordered a SmartCarry® for a friend in Italy and "forcing" him to try one simply meant we told him to buy one, try it out, and if it didn't work for him he had nothing to lose, as he could return it for a refund during our 60 day trial period. Needless to say, he didn't return it for a refund!
Charles,
The holster got here today...What can I say besides THANK YOU. The quality seems outstanding and it works as advertised!

place your order!Charlie,
Please X out the email address since I am sending this response from work.
I ordered a Smart Carry Holster from you about a month ago, I held a couple of conversations with you prior to ordering. In one of the conversations I told you that I was planning to order another type of concealment holster IWB type that uses a pager to distract from what it is.
During our conversation you told me that you thought I needed to wait before ordering it until I tried yours. I didn't listen I thought it was just a sales tactic, I ordered them both on the same day, and boy do I wish I had listened to you. As luck would have it I got the other holster first. I am quite a large man and I thought that I could easily conceal using the other holster, to make a long story short I couldn't. It was quite obvious I was carrying by the large bulge the holster and gun created, I carry a Glock 30. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement since I had already went through the process of "fitting" the holster to my weapon, it was mine now regardless.
Fearing the worst I almost dreaded to see your package arrive. When it arrived I read the instructions first, ( this is a first for me, I usually read the instructions last) and put the Smart Carry on as you described. I went to the mirror expecting the worst, and much to my surprise the gun was invisible. Wanting to make sure that I was right I wore the holster around my wife for two days without her knowledge. I was now ready for the big test out in public. My wife and I went to dinner and shopping at the local mall. No one but I knew I was carrying, when we arrived home that night I told her that I was carrying even then she couldn't tell where. Now this is when I was totally convinced that I had my carry problems solved.
Like most persons that have their Concealed Carry Permits we realize the dangers that are present in the world that we live in today. Realizing these dangers are not enough if you don't have a means in which to protect your family and yourself. It is my hope and my prayer that I never draw my weapon in self defense or for any other reason than target practice. Now the worry of not having the weapon with me because I couldn't come up with an effective means in which to conceal it are forever solved. Thank you for such a great product and for the time you spent with me on the phone.
D. W. - KentuckyCharlie, I just want to say "Thank you." The new holster is everything you said. Comfortable, un-detectable, easy to wear and easy to use. And the Tuff Cloth is great. Thanks again for some great products.
(You might want to caution larger users, that if their pants are already overflowing, trying to stuff a 1911 in there may cause some discomfort. The Kel-Tec is just right.)

Hi Charlie,
It came yesterday. It's so comfortable. I've already worn it out under jeans, and I wasn't worried at all about printing like I was with my IWB.
Not self conscious at all. I even wore it to choir practice last night and my inlaws didn't even notice. I'd say that's success. I'll be wearing it to the zoo tomorrow.
Thank you so much for making such a great product. :o)

Charles,
I received my SmartCarry holster this morning. What an excellent carry system! I only wish I ordered one sooner. I'm also interested in the Bright Sights coatings. What is the cost?
Thanks again.
T. B. - Apache Junction, AZhi,
i got one of your holsters about a month ago and i have to say its the greatest, most comfortable holster and hides the fact your carrying so well. its perfect. i have a question, i purchased a size small for my taurus pt111 and i am thinking about buying a glock 26. the barrel length is 3.46 in. and the overall lenght is 6.29 in. will my size small holster fit the glock 26? thank you for a great product and excellent service.
E. B. - Cincinnati, OH
Webmaster's note: We advised E. that there are three Glock models that will safely carry in our small size holster, the 26, 27 & 33, all with 3.46" barrels. Because of their thickness, they simply carry better in the medium size holster, so we supply that size for most Glock orders.
place your order!Charlie,
My SmartCarry arrived today, thank you very much for the prompt service. After a few minutes of studying the instructions, I put the SmartCarry on and holstered my Glock 21. It FELT entirely noticeable. But, I fastened my trousers and checked the mirror. I couldn't believe how entirely UN-noticeable the SmartCarry is.
Thank you for an excellent product.
L. B. - Casselberry, FLDEAR CHARLIE - you have solved the problem of personal combat handgun concealment for all time- now i have to figure out what i am going to do with all these other holsters i wasted good money on- I guess they may be given as Christmas gifts or something. this holster makes everything else obsolete- is invisible- totally comfortable- and idiot proof - i wear it every day and as soon as i get some medical bills paid off for recent surgery i am going to call you and order another one.
i am trying to ensure that all my friends with cwps invest in one too. Thank you for solving my problem.
sincerely
W. B.Charlie:
Thank you for the reply. I'm enjoying the holster. It's majic how the gun gets tucked away while sitting as well. Very comfortable.
Regards,
D. W. - Virginia Beach, VA
Webmasters note: D. contacted us regarding re-holstering his firearm, and we've just added a paragraph on how to re-holster your firearm on the FAQ page. Should have done that a long time ago, thanks D.!
Received my smart carry holster on Saturday 15 February. This is the first concealed carry holster that I have ever purchased. I must say, all things considered, it fits like a glove! It also convinced me that my Ruger P-90 will not be replaced by a compact auto for concealed carry. This is an excellent product. Thanks.
P. B. - Virginia Beach, VAHi Charlie:
I sure enjoy my SmartCarry; it works great for my Ruger 94... it's the ONLY holster to use with this large gun. I have several other types & they all require lots of clothing to conceal it; with SmartCarry, I can even wear shorts & a tank-top!! Thanks.
I am wondering what happened to the Pocket Laser that was supposed to ship in 2 weeks... it has now been over 3 weeks & I've heard nothing. Could you check on this for me please?
J. C. - Las Vegas, NV
Webmaster's note: Because of the great demand for the Pocket Slipper Laser Aimers, delivery has really slowed up as Mike does his best to build them to fill orders. As soon as we can get a delivery date, J. will be the first to know!
place your order!Hi Charlie, I spoke a little too soon, it got here today. I tried it out and the only thing I can say about it is, SA-WEET! I love it. A friend is interested in getting one and wanted to see mine (holster that is). I'll try to sell another one for you, thanks for your help....

The customer above had called to check on his order as 5 days had passed since it had been shipped. Just a note to customers, the USPS is being much more cautious since 9/11 and mail deliver has slowed down somewhat.
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet or not, but I found a new way to use the urinal and still have my weapon handy. When I face the urinal, instead of pushing the gun aside, I push it up so that the guns butt is sticking above my belt line. It is now positioned like an Inside the Waistband holstered weapon. And with the sides on the urinal "cubicles" it is not seen. Then when I am done, I reach in through the fly and pull the Smart Carry back into position. Being a former cop, I know what it's like to be attacked from behind when you are "busy" peeing. Its a very vulnerable position!
Just thought this might interest ya!
After being impressed by my husband's SmartCarry, I ordered one, and yesterday wore it all day long with my .357 Magnum. It proved to be as comfortable, secure and hidden as everyone claims. The only visible hint is a slight lump from the grip of my revolver near my jeans pocket, but absolutely nobody seems to notice that. If I want I can completely disguise it by stuffing my pocket a bit with a kleenex, or by clipping my keyring on my belt loop at that spot, but that doesn't seem to be necessary.
The big test came as I was walking through a parking lot and had to stop for a police car cruising slowly in front of me. The two officers both stared directly at me as they passed within a few feet of me. Having only recently gotten my carry permit, I am still amazed that people are so unaware that I'm "packing", and I feared surely experienced police officers would know immediately what was just on the other side of my jeans, but they looked at me with utter disinterest and drove on. I was almost disappointed and I wanted to call them back and say, "I have a conceal carry permit, and I'm carrying, and look what a really neat new holster I have!"
But of course I didn't, and just went about my business knowing that those officers may not have known it, but there was one lady in the parking lot who will not be a victim of the criminals they work so hard to stop. Here's to hoping their job is easier when good citizens take responsibility for their own protection. Thank you for a product that will help me do that.
A. S. - Raleigh, NCCharlie,
You did it, you solved my problem! Ya see, I have been put into several awkward positions while carrying my firearm and was looking for a solution. I normally carry IWB behind my right hip, which under most circumstances is just fine. Several times a year, I go home to visit my family, which frequently involves receiving hugs from just about everybody. Due to my height, the person I am hugging will put their arms around my waste and thus come in contact with my firearm. This quite often leads to me doing a little dance and trying to convince them it was my cell phone or pager.
When I first saw your design, I thought there is no way this would be even close to being comfortable. I even went as far as trying to place a fanny pack holster in the same position to see if I could get an idea of the comfort. Needless to say this didn't work and was very uncomfortable. After reading the countless customer comments on your site and seeing the Smart Carry name being mentioned on many message boards, I decided to give it a try.
The holster is very comfortable! Two days after I ordered it, I was wearing it in the local mall and then to a movie for a total of 4 hours. The following day over 8 hours, with absolutely no discomfort.
Thanks for solving my dilemma and creating a great holster in the process.
B. N. - Dallas, TXI just had to write you folks to let you know how pleased I am with your product. I ordered my Smart Carry on Thursday and received it Saturday. That in itself was great. However, nothing compares to the satisfaction I got when I put on the holster, slipped in my Glock 27, and wore it right away, for six hours. I tried everything. Sitting in the car ,sitting in a reclining chair, kneeling, bending, rough-housing with the dog and kids,etc. Nothing is more secure or comfortable than that holster! And the best part is, that when my better-half got home , she had NO IDEA I was packing.
I feel I should tell you folks also, that I'm no skinny,belly-less character either. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to draw effectively due to my gut getting in the way. But even more to my amazement, I had on a kind of tight pair of Levi's, and all I had to due was "suck it in" as I was starting to draw, and out it came no problem. Even while sitting. Being a Floridian, I don't have to wear jeans to often, mostly just shorts and BDU trousers at work, but MAN is this holster custom made for Floridians. No worrying about wearing a belt, no worrying about imprinting on a Polo shirt untucked, no sweaty leather rubbing on you.
I am a believer and will let all my packing friends know about this. Thanks for comming up with the perfect solution to an annoying problem.
Happy New Year.
