I ran across this a few days ago.

It looks interesting, but as usual, I am skeptical.

Has anyone tried it?

I actually have one and it's very comfortable to carry. However with my larger belly, it does make things a bit tricky to retrieve the firearm easily. Then again, I was using a double stack Bersa 9mm HC

This looks like a new version of the old "Pager Pal" holster.

I recently decided to go ahead and get one of these holsters. I purchased there new model which they call the G2 and was pleasantly surprised. I am not the most fit or thin person in the world and IWBs dug into my stomach a lot. This holster was as comfortable as they said no digging into my side or stomach like before. As well I can draw very quickly even with the belly that I have. Was not a regrettable purchase.

So this requires a two-handed draw? Also looks like that if you are seated, you can't draw? That's a couple large negatives to me. I could see this being useful as a very covert carry type of holster, if you are in certain "non-permissive" environments tho.

The old pager pal had the advantage of disguising the belt attachment part as a pager holster.

lemme jus' git my license out officer...it's in'ere wit' my gun...

It might be something that I might consider this in shorts or something but but I dunno. The original is $55...

My thought exactly. I would likely not go well for anyone in that particular situation.

I have not, nor have I tried the Smart Carry, which is sort of a similar concept. I'm a big guy.......in the horizontal sense. Some would say that I have a sectional density challenge. While I typically wear my shirts untucked, I otherwise try to wear pants that fit properly and are not too baggy. For this kind of thing to work for me, I would have to wear looser pants than I'd like, and then I'd be constantly asking my wife if these pants make me look fat. And since I OWB about 99.999% of the time anyway, I haven't felt the need to purchase a holster of this type.

That said, it seems like a perfectly viable means of carry for someone with less biomass; and if I were built that way, I'd probably try one.

Saw this or something similar at gun show recently. Looks like it would work well if you have the right body type.

Because of my waist line I have to use a Sneaky Pete to "openly" conceal carry.

Like Pawpaw stated, it reminds me of the old Pager Pal holster which I bought at a gun show and never used.

It is very covert. My office buddy could not even tell i had my firearm with me. The draw does take some getting used to, but over all I had to lift my shirt up and then draw with my IWB holster so either way I use two hands, it is a bit different drawing from my appendix region. Have not yet been able to do a seated draw but on the website there is a video where they show someone drawing while sitting. Hopefully I can get this down cause that is something that I would like to be able to do.

Aha! An actual user!

I pointed this holster out to a buddy who works in office environments where it would be good not to be known to carry. I am curious how noticeable the part that folds over the belt is -- it looks a little obvious to me in the videos, but maybe not in real life. Does anyone ask you what it is ?

Interesting.
Not a favorable review from this guy. Seems like a fair review.

As a guy that carries AIWB, I was hoping this would be a good alternative.

it's an interesting concept. I can see how it might work for the smaller guns, but it obviously doesn't work for the larger ones
