If this CCW Vest isn't perfect for what it does, I don't know what is. I own other CCW vests, some of which are high-end leather, costing over $500.00 and honestly, this vest rivals those costing three times as much. Amazingly, the built-in holster is superior while maintaining a perfect balance between weapon security and firearm access. The retention strap is a sortta bungie cord material which always maintains a secure contact with the weapon.The never-ending struggle paced by those who want to carry is the battle between comfort, ease of access and weapon security................all while concealing a heavy weapon and magazines. Personally I HATE IWB Appendix carry. I find it incredibly uncomfortable, especially while sitting or driving. This vest however, rivals the comfort of a shoulder harness holster and affords easy weapon access and great concealment.There are extra, roomy pockets for phones, wallet, keys..............anything and everything you might want to carry along.On another subject, but perhaps useful for anyone considering this vest......... I am 6'-3" / 230 lbs. I ordered the XL Regular and it is sized sufficiently to allow layering underneath the vest for colder days. I could probably have gotten away with a large but I always worry about "printing" through the garment when it is too tight.I love this vest. Verry high quality materials and expert design and assembly combine to make the perfect concealed carry vest.
