    That is incorrect. You can draw one-handed. Two handed is simply easier. It's no different then clearing your cover garment by pulling it up and then grabbing the gun.

    Ok but it takes steps for you to do this with your pouch. Clear shirt, pull is out of pants, then grab gun. I can clear shirt and grab gun at same motion and be on target. Know what I'm saying. And if you have a good kydex holster and wear it right. It doesn't dig into your mid section and it's very comfortable to sit with

    You're adding an additional step. Why would you wear a cover garment with this holster? The whole point is drawing from outside your shirt.

    The Urban Carry draw is hardly any different then wearing a regular appendix holster with a cover.

    Here's a thought for everyone that doesn't like it: don't buy it. Everyone ridiculing it with no experience is no different then people who know nothing about guns wanting to ban them. Same principal: don't like them then don't buy them, and keep your mouth shut about other people's choices.

    So you wear a shirt tucked in all the time?

    If you didn't why would you need a holster like that instead of a traditional one?

    Not a fan nor a hater, although I do have concerns about how it would work, especially about the gun hanging up on the belt as the video showed. I have used deep holsters in situations where discretion was very important, but they have all been the reach in and grab a gun instead of pull the gun out under the belt. I'm sure that it's gun and body type specific.

    I think we generally forget that one holster doesn't cover all aspects of life. It's good to have options.

    We really need to support the above. Having no opinion on every subject is the best way to run a discussion board. From this point forward do not add the benefit of your experiences, or opinions, who needs them?
    Everything is wonderful when you are part of the team.
    Oh and don't post anything either, unless it's some sort of paid subscription.
    When a company puts out a product, just go and buy it.
    This board would run so smooth, you would hardly know its here.

    What TAZ said. The whole purpose of this is to deep carry in plain sight, which can be particularly difficult in the professional environment. It makes a scarce market a little bigger and I as a dressed professional I appreciate that.

    If you can go your day with your shirt untucked there are better holsters and options out there.

    I chose my words carefully. I didn't say anything about opinions, I said "ridiculing it with no experience". There is a difference between opinion and ridicule. One can be helpful, one never is.

    I would assume you knew what "forum" meant, but obviously not.

    I went ahead and bought one for my P320 Subcompact and springfield xds 3.3 9 mm, the website fit chart says it'll fit both. We'll see how it goes. They do have a 30 day refund policy if I it doesn't fit well.

    It'll be stiff, as new leather is, so I recommend wearing it as much as possible to get past the initial break-in period before making a decision.

    To the OP. What did you decide? Buy or no buy? Either way let us know. We might be influenced by your decision.
    Seems some do the opposite just to oppose. It's alot of money just to make a point. Hope yours is a thoughtful decision

    I got the holster today. Here's me using it with my shirt untucked and tucked. It's fairly comfortable and conceals well. I can see why it's said that the holster is designed for tucked in shirt. As the holster breaks in more, the comfort level should increase. I'm carrying a Sig Sauer P320 Subcompact. Smaller and flatter guns like the S&W shield, G43, or the springfield XDS would be even more concealable and comfortable. Overall, I'd say I'm satisfied with it.

    Hope it serves you well for many years. And that you never need it.
    You might consider a witness protection program, if we are not supposed to see you.

    lol, the reason I blotted out my face in the photos is because I've posted pictures of my firearms in this forum in the past. Given it's a public forum, I'd prefer to stay as anonymous as possible.

    On topic, the holster size I got was a "lieutenant", suppose to fit anything from a g43 up to a sig p320 subcompact. I've found it fits the glock 19 gen 4 quite well, too.
