Default DeSantis Summer Heat and 940

I recently purchased the Summer Heat for my 940, and what a great combination. The gun rides so low IWB that only the handle shows. It's great for wearing under a t-shirt, even a snug one. The only draw back is the draw. Because it is so low it's a little hard to get a hold of the gun, but that should be overcome with practice. Re-holstering is a breeze as the leather is stiff enough that it does not close up. I'm starting to get attached to the 940. I normally carry a MK9 Micro stainless in a Bianchi 100 Professional, which rides a little high, requiring a loose fitting t-shirt, but now I am rotating the two.

Any opinions on the Summer Heat?

I have a couple of the three inch S&W 940s that I bought back when they were $300.00 new. When I carry one, I have a IWB kydex holster.
I use the Federal and Gold Dot ammo for short barrel guns for SD.
Swell little guns.
