Anyone familiar with the "Smart Carry" brand of concealed holster? I've had my eye on 1 for quite a while and am about to purchase...wondering if anyone could provide some input.
Thanks!

Great for concealment. Considering how well it conceals the draw can still be quite fast. The biggest downside, for me, is if you don't line up the velcro properly then you can get bit. Also, you need to be "smart" about what you plan to carry in it and the type of grips used. For instance, my Makarov with the original grips works great. Put on the thicker rubber grips and the pistol grabs on the way out.
Overall, I would definitely buy the product again.

Steelhead..It's my understanding that 1 size fits all. I'd be carrying a KAHR P9, as well as a S&W model 65-3 "K" frame with a Model 637-2 S&W snubbie for good measure. Not all at once! Do you think that will work?
Thanks for the reply..I appreciate your time.

They actually make a couple different sizes (or at least they did). Even so, if you get the large one you can adapt it to smaller firearms buy using a rag or some other materal to make the pocket shallower.
I went with the one that would conceal my 640-1. That holster will also easily conceal a P9, Mil Pro PT145, and other similar sized firearms. Of your 3 handguns, I would skip on the "K" frame. Although, I have concealed a 4" 1911 it does start to push the limit. with the added width of the cylinder and overall bulk of the 65 - I would pass and stick with the 637 and P9. The P9 would be the best choice.
