I just bought a Versacarry (small) and wore it for the first time with my SR9c last weekend. Figured I'd give it a shot for $20 and I have to say it's the best thing I've tried so far. I normally wear a leather belt-slide holster and I found the Versacarry much more comfortable. Even driving and sitting. I seriously found myself physically checking every once in a while to make sure the gun was still there. Cheap, effective, comfortable.....and more concealed than my belt-slide.
I hear nothing but good things about this holster. Kind of weird...correct me if I'm wrong, there's a peg that fits into the barrel? There's virtually nothing to the holster except a few pieces of plastic, a clip and a peg the muzzle slides over. I read rave reviews on it, so there must be something to it.
As others have already said, yes...it is just what you describe. For me, the comfort seems to be all about the bulk. If you have a bulky (thick) holster...even my OWB belt slide.....by the time you get your gun in there, you have your pants, then belt, then thick leather, then gun, then more thick leather.....and by the time I have my belt cinched up tight enough to hold the gun securely against my body, the belt needs to be uncomfortably tight. For most IWB holsters, you have the exact same thing, but now all of the bulk is INSIDE your waist band pushing on you. (usually requiring you to buy your pants with a larger waist size than what you need). I'm not one to fall for gimmicky (sp?) stuff/advertising hype, and I watched a few youtube video reviews on this (super-duper-gimmicky videos) before I bought one, but the gimmicky videos are not what sold me on it. I bought it based on what it was....a holster that offers what I've been looking for since I started carrying......something thin enough that I could wear it in the pants I already have without having to buy a bunch of new ones that were a size or two bigger than I needed.
I wore it all weekend again this weekend. I didn't even wear a belt, which is not recommended, but it seems to clip over the seam in my waistband and thick leather tag sewn to the jeans securely enough to do the job, even when drawing the gun.....and for me, not having to wear a stiff leather belt is another plus in the comfort department. Another advantage is that I could use the exact same holster to carry my old Sig P230 if I wanted to, since .380 and 9mm are the same barrel size and the guns are almost identical in size. Maybe I sound like a Versacarry salesman, but IMO, for $20 you can't hardly go wrong. After 20 years of concealed carry, this is the best combo I've found so far.....Versacarry + SR9c.
