Um...I wouldn't want to get quite that close to Aunt Ruth, even when I'm hugging her. ;-)

Re: SmartCarry

A review, some comments, and a picture here: http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... 8&p=177675

I have one I use only occasionally, for deep-cover assignments...dangerous missions like extended family get-togethers where there will be a lot of hugging of cousins and cousins' wives. So durability isn't an issue for me 'cause I use it only 6-8 times per year. Even then, I don't carry anything larger than a Kahr PM9 plus a spare mag in it.

I like it fine for that purpose, but I agree with Commander Cody that the gun is far less accessible--and less reliably accessible--than traditional IWB or OWB carry. I think there's probably a belly-size limit to quick access, and if you wear a tucked-in shirt (which to me is kinda the point with a hidden rig like this), there are a lot of moving parts to the draw motion (and after your hand is on the gun, the muzzle will absolutely point at some part of your body during the presentation). With practice it can be done pretty efficiently, but it'll never be as fast or secure as a good IWB on the hip.
