Sneaky Pete
« on: November 14, 2013, 12:53:22 PM »
Anyone try them??  I saw an ad in 1ST Freedom and decided to look at them.  Went on their website and ordered one for my Smith .38 BG.  The pics are very deceiving, they are really large and cumbersome.  And far from seaky.  This was for a small J frame, can't imagine what one for .45 would look like.  It is basically a box so it does not look like a holster, but it also does not look like it is for anything else.  Bigger than a smart phone, smaller than a computer.  Back to my Uncle Mikes holster.

It is returnable so there is that.

I have one that I use for the LC9 and mostly in the summer. It doesn't draw any attention..just another way to strap on a gun to me.

It reminds me of a "fanny pack". So 70's. I'll stick with my IWB.

I was looking at those, but they don't make one for my Glock 29 (yet... hint hint)... so I'll stick with the Safepacker.

Here is a company that I have dealt with. I have a Pro-Carry Deep Comfort IWB, been using it everyday for 2 years and love it.

http://www.theholsterstore.net/category_s/1874.htm

They make a line of holsters for the Glock 29 & 30's.

They are USA made in Florida, good prices and quick shipping.

I have looked at the SP and the this other I will put up link to...   the SP is and was ok but who wants a devise that broadcasts what it is for   .. every body  who carries knows holsters and especially something new   I don't need one with SP on out side... wit that said I met the owner of the company ,while at gun show in Fla.. neat guy but more importantly a neat product  while similar to SP it is by far not the same in so many ways... I might add I do have one of the PDA but that is the only connection...to the company....

I just might try one of those, if only to take a break from the Safepacker. Thanks.

Just my 2 cents here, but all these things scream, "He's got a GUN!" to me. (Yes, just like the fanny pack did.)

And why don't you like a fanny pack? Some times it makes the most sense to use. I personally use the Crossbreed super tuck IWB and it works well for me.

The web site shows chrome raised letters on the case, but the one I just received for my Glock 26 only has an embossed "S & P " in the leather cover. The "S & P" are really not noticeable when the case is on your belt.

I understand your point, but am I wrong in thinking, those that will notice its scream, are only those that know what it truly is.  Which is most likely going to be folks like us.  Personally, I don't care, too much, if like-minded people recognize it for what it is.  It's the criminal element that I am most worried about...how many people, with a criminal mind set, will know what it really is?

My concern is it resembles an over-sized cell phone case, or a tablet case.  Therefore, how long before someone tries to rip off your hip, if they think they are getting a tablet?

With all of that said, I'm considering purchasing one...maybe.

No one..  well, almost no one carries a fanny pack these days except for someone carrying concealed. It went out of fashion many many moons ago and so it sticks out like a sore thumb. Not to mention, there are so many other comfortable carry options why kill your fashion cred along with being "made"?

Sadly, Adrenoline, for a brief time they were LOL.  But so were polyester suits, porn-staches, and bell bottoms. 

 ;D
