WAISTBAND IWB HOLSTER

FOR AUTOS & REVOLVERS

I use this for a Glock 30, which is already difficult to conceal. Contrary to the other review, the leather on my holster is very soft and pliable. That's great for the lower part of the gun, but it makes the thumb break a bit of a pain to snap off, which is annoying during an altercation where every second counts. That said, the belt connector has a C shape on the lower end so the holster has very little chance of coming off your belt unintentionally. My job encourages me to carry concealed but we get into a lot more fist fights than we do gunfights, so it's nice that it's secure. It's also cheap. If the leather connecting the thumb break had a little more rigidity to it and it were a little more comfortable, I'd rate 5 stars. The other drawbacks I haven't mentioned (difficulty concealing appendix, pressing into my side when sitting) are due to the model of firearm I've chosen, not the holster.

I'd recommend it for concealed carry where you're also worried about weapon retention.

I have a model 66-1 2.5 inch and there is not a lot of iwb options out there. The waistband inside the pants holster is a great low cost option. I carry at the one o-clock position with this holster no problem. There are no hot spots and the thumb break offers 100% peace of mind for retention plus the thumb break shields the hammer from digging into you while sitting. The belt clip is plastic but really sturdy. It's hooked on the bottom to not slip off your belt while drawing. The leather was stiff at first and took about a day to break in and doesn't add a whole lot to the size. Reholstering is difficult because the holster does not retain its shape. If it had a way to adjust ride height and maybe rotate the grip into your body more I would give it 5 stars. All on all the quality is great and i think this will last me for several years.
