Sure, why not? I've carried a S&W 642, Taurus 85, and a S&W 908 9mm in mine with success. A Glock 26 should do just as well. Really any smallish pistol will do well in this holster, a good friend of mine has hidden his Glock 19 in his Kangaroo a time or two!

The Kangaroo, in my opinion, is a "good enough" holster for it's intended purpose of deep concealment. I still have the same holster, still wear it every Sunday. If I can't carry on the belt this is the only other alternative I have, so I use it. If you don't pocket carry or wear a coat/vest to conceal when you dress up, then go ahead and give this a try.

Yup. I've had mine almost 2 1/2 months now. It's not my primary form of carry, but it works very well for going out with a tucked in shirt and no cover garment. It's my church carry rig, and have worn it to one nice dinner and a few family gatherings. Nothing but praise for the Kangaroo, I'm starting to like it almost as much as the 642 it carries!

Wore the Kangaroo with a Smith 642 all day yesterday, 15 hours total. I only made one adjustment to it early on to get the revolver riding in a better position, but all in all it's a very comfortable wearing rig. Not one that will replace my belt sliders and IWB's, but definitely my best option for carrying when dressing up!

Ooohhh! There's an idea.

I picked up a Kangaroo Holster while at Gun Emporium yesterday. For those of you who haven't seen one... http://www.tidepoolwebdesigns.com/kangaroo/. Yes, it looks suspiciosly funny in the photo! I only wore it for a few hours yesterday, most of the time the Smith 642 was riding in it, tucked away very nicely. I got curious and stuck my usual carry piece, Smith 908, into it and after a quick adjustment, the 908 completely dissappeared! It's obviouly a holster that will require a firearm with a rust-resistant finish...or a standard blued firearm will require constant attention and oiling...due to the location on the body where the gun rides. I'll give a post later on about how the holster does after an "all day ride". It's obviously not the fastest holster to draw from, but with a little practice I believe that it can be utilized well. What I really like about this holster is that it will allow me to wear a nice button up shirt, tucked in, and still be armed! No more leaving the gun in the car when at church, family photo day, etc. for me. Greybeard: thanks for the recommendation of the Kangaroo holster back in March in this post - http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... t=kangaroo
Anyone else have one/like them/hate them?
