It might be alright when you are standing, but it may be uncomfortable sitting.
I use Desantis Nemesis with my P3AT. Hides outline well enough, comfortable sitting/standing--can't complain, and it came with the gun.

It is very comfortable standing, sitting and bending. I carry it 13+ hours a day.
It is also much thinner than the Nemesis which I also have had and the Nemisis looked like a tumor in my pocket in comparison. It has never come out of my pocket with the gun either and I practice drawing often. that is why I was curious why David E said the design was flawed. I wonder if he has one?
I have had at least 8 different pocket holsters and this is the best yet.

The design is flawed because it encompasses too much of the trigger guard. This may not matter as much on a pocket holster, but it does matter some.
Further, it does NOT protect the mag release button.
Also, while the bottom curve might make it more comfortable, it won't break up the outline of the gun very well.
Additionally, it appears from the pics on your website that the body side near the top of the slide has the kydex pointed right into the leg. I realize you made it that way to provide a "push-off" for the thumb, but on many folks, it would cause discomfort after a long day, especially seated.
Your other holsters also cover too much of the triggerguard. This interferes with a proper firing grip and should not be tolerated on a serious holster.

With all due respect David E you do not own, have not used, and have not even seen this holster in person. All of your comments are based upon assumptions. I for one do not give advice on products that I personally have not owned or used. I actually have the holster and use it every day all day and have for months now so my responses to your assumptions come from actual experience with this product.
All holsters should cover the trigger as much as possible, frankly that is what I do not like on the Nemesis, too much of the trigger guard is not covered. This design covers the trigger well and still allows a full firing grip on the gun.
I have not seen a pocket holster design for the LCP that does protect the mag release button and I have had eight of the most popular pocket holsters. Again, I carry this holster 13+ hours a day and have never had a problem.
The curve does make carry much more comfortable and the holster does succeed in breaking up the outline very well. You can not tell what is in my pocket while I'm wearing it.
If you want to be sure (100%) that the holster is not coming out with the gun you need another way to break the retention other than just relying on the (sticky stuff) to grab because it won't grab 100% of the time, and again I speak from personal experience not assumptions. The sticky stuff does not work 100% of the time. This holster has two ways to break retention a thumb push and the hook. If you just draw briskly without using the thumb push, the hooked end and the thumb push will grab the pocket 100% of the time. The thumb push is small and if it was digging in my leg I would not be able to wear it all day. Again, you have not used or seen the holster so all you have to go on is a picture so you can't tell how big the thumb push actually is.
Again not having owned any of these holster I don't see how you make this assmuption. Any good holster will cover as much of the trigger as possible while still allowing a good firing grip. If you took the time to look at the website you would have seen that many of the holsters are offered in different ride heights. This allows you to choose a ride height that fits your needs. Any holster designed for deep concealment will not allow a full firing grip because it will sit too low in your pants and with that being the case full trigger coverage is desirable as you will not be able to get a full grip on it anyway.
If you want to continue to slam a product you have not owned, used, or even seen in person that is your prerogative. I have been carrying concealed weapons for over 20 years and I speak from personal experience, not from assumptions that I have made from looking at a picture. I own this holster and wear it 13+ hours a day and I can tell you that it does work. Furthermore the company has a 30 day return policy so if you did not like it you just send it back for a full refund. I don't know any other holster company that gives you a 30 day trial on their holsters.

I just use an uncle mike's size two. I found that it will collapse around the gun and print if you let it, but stuffing the bottom of the holster with cotton balls keeps it nicely puffed out to resemble a wallet in the pocket. It also helps the holster puff out to grip the pocket and loosens the hold on the weapon, making it much less likely to happen that you'll draw the weapon with holster still attached from a larger pocket on a pair of slacks.
The idea that you should have an exposed trigger guard to ANY degree on a pocket holster is just plain foolishness. You don't hold a weapon by its trigger guard last time I checked. It has NOTHING to do with getting a good firing grip and its a good recipe for an accident. I'll take the word of someone who has actually USED and knows what they are talking about over someone who apparently likes to blow a lot of hot air.
I'm going to get one and I'll add my 2 cents when I get it.

The joy of opinions.....
However, I would give some benefit of the doubt to the actual user of the product. I use a Nemisis for mine and find that for me it rotates in the pocket. The gun and holster end up with the top of the slide along the bottom seam of the pocket. Basically it is whatever works for the individual. Not worth getting worked up about.

Agreed, today I gave my LCP a good ringing out and one thing I found is the my nemesis pocket holster tended to end up on the ground with my draw. Additionally it was about 90 degrees today and the material is so stinking HOT. I'm definitely going to order one of these holsters.
Already done. I ordered one today. I wonder what thier turnaround is?

Here is where I'm standing on my holster from Alabama Holster so far. I sent them this email today.
I ordered a rt hand holster for my LCP and a rt hand pocket mag pouch for my P7 on May 21st. I called and spoke to someone as I had not received any contact from your company. I was told I would receive and email when we got off the phone, an email when the order was shipped, and the holster would likely be delivered on Monday. Well, none of those things happened. Could you please check on my order and provide an update? Thank You.

Desantis Nemesis for my P32 its a very comfortable holster and stays in the pocket when pistol is drawn.
I found the emails they sent in my spam folder. Received the holster and mag pouch today. I like them a lot. I like the holster for my LCP much better than my desantis holster.
Wore my AH Holster around the house for a while today. I'm very satisfied with it. It print much less than my Desantis and its much slimmer and more secure. Its a winner.

I had to laugh when I saw this post and holster. I made one exactly like it for my P32 about 4 or 5 years ago. It's a great front pocket design. Only difference is that I made mine using a plastic milk bottle, staples, and duct tape! I'll have to check, but I think I posted pics and a description on the KTOG site.

If covering the trigger gaurd is the sign of a bad holster then my Blackhawk Serpa must be junk!
I've worn my new Alabama Holster all day today. It did squirm around a bit in my pocket but I added two strips of velcro to it and it frickin rocks now. It is MUCH more secure than my Nemesis holster, it prints less, and it easy to draw from. It stays in your pocket when you draw and I can even reholster with it still in my pocket.
