IWB

[Meaghurd929]

Hey I am interested in getting a IWB holster. I would like some opinions on what y'all have used and liked and disliked. I am a female so just keep that in mind. Thanks

You really need to tie it into what you wear and what your body shape is. Then there's the whole thing of what the gun is that you're trying to conceal.

I like my Milt Sparks VM2, but it needs a really baggy top that makes me look fat to cover it. If you usually wear a jacket, it's not as big of a deal. Hybrid holsters never worked well for me. Sensitive skin, never really liked kydex pressed against it all day.

I'm still waiting for mine, but oldfaithfulholsters.com seem really nice. They have a 50 year warranty and they have a 30 day money back guarantee that states if you don't like the holster they will refund your money and you can still keep the holster. That kind of product confidence intrigues me and also seems to make it a low risk option to try. They also have kits you can put together yourself to save some money on the deal. I am new to concealed carry so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I hope their holster will be as good as I think it will be.

My wife carries a Commander sized 1911 at about 4:00 using a Crossbreed Supertuck. Before I appendix carried, I went with a Comptac CTAC at 3:30 because I didn't care for all the leather against me that the Crossbreed has.

Last year I changed to appendix carry with a CCC Shaggy (http://shop.customcarryconcepts.com/Shaggy-AIWB-SHG.htm). AIWB requires another level of safety and awareness while hostering.

Has she tried your shaggy? I'm curious how AIWB works with a skirt. Crossing legs, things poking out, stuff like that.

She has not tried my Shaggy. My Shaggy is built for an HK P30 which is not reliable in her hands.

I believe one of her friends carries an M&P9c in an appendix holster and I can ask how she likes it.

Ask Kathy Jackson; she's carried her G26 AIWB since before it had a cool tactical acronym.

(I got a Dark Star Gear AIWB J-frame holster, but getting me in a skirt would require someone to die or get married.)

My wife carries a G26 aiwb in either a Highnoon MrSofty or a Galco belly-band.

Great, just great. Now when my wife starts carrying ill have to worry about how to answer the "Does this holster meek me look fat/my hips look big?" question.

It's every husband's Kobayashi Maru... And I can't even change the parameters of the test. <groan>

You could always cheat like Kirk did......

I had a friend who carried a USP45C in a belly band swiveled around so that it was like an IWB at about the 4:30 position. She was tiny and you'd think there was no way she could have that big ol' heater under a knit top. It was like watching a magician pull a quarter out of thin air.
