yes - the smartcarry, although I use it slightly different than "recommended" - I wear it high at 1 oclock position, like AIWB, and hook the grip over my waistline. So I guess maybe its a "supported" Mexican carry. Very comfortable and can easily draw one-handed, although reholster should be with two hands. Its what I wear when I'm wearing my gym shorts if not carrying in fanny pack.

It was too uncomfortable for me.

I have been pleasantly surprised. In pleated pants printing is almost impossible and I can wear it in a pair of drawstring shorts. When wearing jeans or other non-pleated pants I have to sit a bit more slowly to avoid a pinch, but once I am sitting it is comfortable. Drawing is really quick, but reholstering is very slow.

I bought the "small" size SmartCarry for a Kahr Arms PM9 which was unfortunately stolen

and it worked wonderfully.

Does anyone know if the XD9SC fits in the "small" size? I presume it does.

BUT back to the topic at hand: SmartCarry is comfortable and invisible with anything you'd wear outside of the house. It's not the fastest draw in the world, but rule number one of a gunfight is: ____________________

For short barreled guns I reccomend it because sitting down in comfortable and invisible. For 4"+ barrels, I would GUESS it COULD be less pleasent, but I have no experience there.

There's also the 30 or maybe 60 day return guarentee.

The one they sent me for my XD40sc is a medium, but it fits perfect. I find it nice and comfortable, and with a long t-shirt it's even invisible in jeans. Not tight jeans, though...
