Re: How about the Kangaroo...

I have one. It's a great little carry method for certain circumstances, but it has drawbacks.

I bought the holster so I would have a method to provide very deep concealment for my Smith 642 (my wranglers don't allow pocket carry). It works well under a snap-up or button-up shirt, t-shirts would be clumsy to draw from. But it lets me wear a nice snap-up shirt to church, tuck it in, and still be armed without going to a sports coat or the like.

The downside is that the draw takes practice. It's a little slower to get into action than a belt or IWB rig, but these are the drawbacks we accept when going for very deep concealment.

You probably won't regret the purchase, they're not that expensive after all. If you like to wear button or snap shirts and have them tucked in, you should add this to your box-o-holsters. I only use mine once or twice a week but I do like it. A good friend of mine tucks his Glock 19 in his, so you can get away with a little larger firearm in them.
