What are your thoughts on the Urban Carry and/or Magnetic Vehicle Holsters?

I have a smaller version of the Urban Carry, where it doesn't have all of the extra material and noticeable clip that secures via magnet, but the Urban Carry seems very easy. Further I recently purchased Go-Magnets to mount my carry weapon in the vehicle as to have it readily access able when driving. Anyone have experience with either product?

The Urban Carry depends on your body type. It's more difficult if you have love handles and really not feasible if you're fat like me.

But if you meet Army weight standards, it should work fine. You'll need loose pants. While you can draw from an IWB if the pants are tight, the UC can hang up.

I use Go Magnets to secure a HD shotgun to my bed rails ...Works very well.
I do not transfer my carry weapon to a vehicle holster, as I want it on body at all times.
I do have vehicle dedicated weapons though of the same style and function as what Im carrying. Kydex holsters affixed in place with stainless steel fasteners. I wanted the holster to stay in place no matter the shock to the vehicle from speed bump to roll over..and I wanted it to stay in place no matter the angle of draw I might have to make from an awkward out of place position.

I would prefer not to depend on a little strip of metal keeping my expensive firearm where it is supposed to be.............I am a belted OWB carry guy, high and tight on your body and attached with 1 1/2 inches of leather. With an ankle back-up.

When driving, if a it is a shorty distance, I wear a pancake, right back hip and leave my Beretta PX-4 Storm Compact right there. BUT if I am going to be driving an hour or more, I pull it and have a holster that is stuck between the seat and console. The sidearm simply sits in it barrel down on my right side just in front of the seat belt clasp. Both my Truck and my wife's car have bucket type seats and my TransAm is even more wrap around type seats so wearing it for a long drive is bruise city uncomfortable.

Reading some of the comments made me curious.. How many of you have a firearm hidden in every room of the house? I do. My wife and three daughters all know where they are, how to use them.. and in the case of wife, can nearly shoot better than I can on a natural level..
