My wife likes to carry her LCP II at work for deep concealment in very light drawstring pants instead of her Glock 43, which is more worn on days with Jeans, belt and a T-shirt.

It's been tough finding a decent AIWB holster for the LCP II. I would love to have something like a JMCK with the discreet carry concept clips, but I cant find anything made for the LCP II.

She also pocket carries in the same pants, but printing has been a big issue, in addtion to pocket size. It's basically a work unform and AIWB is a better option than trying to modify the pockets, which is likely not going to work.

The pant material is light, like track pants with hip pockets. No, she's not Russian. ;)

I’ve used a Blade-Tech Klipt Ambi with my original LCP for years and recently added a DCC clip to it. I wish it was a little longer to prevent the grip from rolling, but it works well enough for the price.

It looks like the Klipt Ambi has been discontinued and the ones I can find do not list a LCP II. Newer IWB Klipt have a seperate option for the LCP and LCP II.

I'll post updates.

Email Tony at JMCK and tell him what you're looking for.

Check out the LightTuck. They run 10% off sales all the time if you're an email subscriber. It's been my experience that guns worn in really lightweight pants need to sit a bit lower than you might like and the Vedder has lots of adjustment in height and cant.

He's always one of my first contacts. No mold or live gun available at this time. Maybe Dark Star Gear.

Checking out all the other ones mentioned too. Thanks guys!

I'm going to try and have something like the holster on the right built, but with two DCC short clips. I'm not a fan of AIWB holsters generally with one narrow loop or clip or a clip for 1.75" belts on a 1.5" belt. They always wobble for me in the direction/angle I do not want them to.

As an update, the wife so far is happy with a Spider Concealment LCP II "Pre Folded Test Fit Shell Without Hardware" and JMCK hardware (washers, spacers, screws, etc) with a single DCC clip on light drawstring style pants. She has about 2 months of daily carry into it now. I need to get around to trying it with some track pants with a drawstring, but I'm out of stolichnaya.

Eventually, I hope to find a DCC double clip holster for the LCP II but I was not able to find one for now.

Dale is not only a wonderful holster maker, he's also a genuinely terrific human being. He flew from Bozeman MT to Indpls, IN to officiate my wedding, so I'm biased...but also correct.

Agreed, Dale is a fine gentleman. I am looking at the bible that he gave me on my last holster purchase.

Update as promised:

The spider concealment shell (https://spiderconcealment.com/pre-folded-test-fit-shell-without-hardware/) and single DCC clip works well, but she's interested in trying it with the phlster enigma. I'll need a winged holster to have her try in addition to the current one.

Here's some LCPII holsters that may be compatible. Maybe it will help someone in my shoes. No experience/commercial interest in any of them:

Maybe add a trigger guard to the clip draw system

https://relentless-tactical.com/collections/holsters

I use both for my LCP (its not a II), but carry IWB 4:00

The clip draw 90% of the time, and 100% of the time with running shorts or lulu-lemons, ugh I mean sweat pants, really Sweat Pants!:o

As an aside, John and Sarah Hauptman run a pretty excellent Facebook group called "PHLster Concealment Workshop" that is largely centered around the Enigma. The consensus seems to be that the Enigma isn't the play for the LCP-series pistols. They're so small that they don't work well with the Enigma, and concealment with the Enigma is worse than just using a small holster for the small gun. Advice on the issue from the Hauptmans and others prevented me from going down an expensive Enigma/LCP rabbit hole.

Much appreciated feedback! I should have noted we want to play around with my Glock 43 and 26 as well.

Really great to hear Tony. Thank you for posting. JMCK is always my first visit for holsters.

I should note it's an internal drawstring. The holster you linked just has a single soft loop. (Which I've never tried with an external drawstring.)

Dale would likely work with you to find the right attachment for your wife's needs.

Not sure if you're still looking but the MFT minimalist works nicely with a single DCC clip.

I removed the wing and switched the clip to a DCC clip and I think it is probably as concealable as it gets for aiwb
