I had been carrying a Bersa Thunder 380 CC IWB in a N82 Tactical holster for the past several months. I found the N82 to be the most comfortable IWB holster I have ever used and have been extremely happy with the comfort and concealment of this holster. Whether going on long walks, driving or mowing the lawn, one hardly knows the pistol is there. The N82 is extremely comfortable.
I was so happy with how the N82 worked with a smaller CCW type pistol, I became intrigued with the possibility of carrying my full sized Springfield Armory XDM 9mm in the larger version of the N82 holster. I was a little concerned that a full sized pistol wouldn't work as well, but decided to purchase one and to my very pleasant surprise, the XDM was just as comfortable and concealable in my new N82! With a loose fitting t-shirt over a pair of cargo shorts, I can now carry 19+1 of 9 mm in my XDM or 13+1 rounds of 45 acp in my Springfield Armory XD 45 (the N82 Tactical works with either pistol).
Why carry a small 380 when it is possible to carry a full sized pistol, concealed, in the caliber of your choice? I'm not saying I will never carry my .380 again, but it is nice to be able to have the freedom of choice.
