    I just got to stop by and get one. How well does it stick and not shift if you wear an undershirt or a wife-beater under your outer shirt?

      Actually it stays surprisingly well. This assumes that outer shirt is not tucked in. The undershirt can be.

      A lot of times I wear mine IWB with my main shirt tucked in, and a jean shirt as a cover garment. Makes it easier when I am talking to people about both the Sticky Holster and the Packin Tee compression shirt holster.

      I suggest if you have the chance you bring your gun in and try one on for size, feel, and draw. Come dressed as you normally would when carrying. Don't come in with the mindset of getting one, come in with the mind set of trying one, and let the product sell itself.

      I know that sounds weird, but the people who have been in my shop, can tell you I am in business to make money, but it's not about making the sale, it's about helping you have the best system to meet your needs and survive the fight. Often that is my least expensive product the Sticky Holster. But if you try it on and it doesn't convince you it's right, we want you to walk away.

      What are you looking for your carry system to do for you that your current holster wont?

        got a couple Sticky Holsters from grantar2 (by with confidence, good seller)... the holsters feel great and carry very secure! Of the several compression style that I've used, these are the most comfortable and are very stable.

        Great choice for concealed carry... I have a feeling these might be my new go to holsters.

          Does anyone here appendix carry with these? I have a Glock 19 and prefer to appendix carry, assuming the retention is good, how's the comfort level?

            I bought a Remora for my Shield 9mm. Although skeptical at first, it did work as advertised. That is until it didn't work so well. It lost most of the stickiness and I thought maybe it was because I had tried to form the holster to the gun with a hair dryer per instructions on the website. I contacted Remora and they were kind enough to swap it out. The new one worked a couple of months before I no longer felt confident that it would stay put when drawing the gun. So now it is in my holster box. Besides the stickiness, one improvement I would like to see is an open muzzle option on the bottom of the holster. The closed muzzle involves extra material that comes to a point and can print at certain cants. Is that available on the Sticky holsters?

              The muzzle section is closed at the bottom, but the Sticky doesn't print as a result. Not sure how the Remora would either.

              I personally feel the closure at the bottom is a strength. I carry in a Sticky 90% of the time. When I go to the range which I do weekly, I don't put my gun backing the range bag and take it home and clean it before re-holstering and put it back in my pants. I just slide it in my Sticky Holster and slide it back in my pants. After putting 100 rounds down range, really don't want the residue getting in my cloths. The closed end prevents that from happening. I consider it a +

              The Sticky has better friction performance in my opinion which is why I carry Sticky and not Remora.

              There is never any reason to form a sticky to the gun, wearing will provide the best fit.

                Since your in OC, maybe you can stop by the store and try one on. If you don't like it you don't buy, but at least you have gotten to try it.

                      Have you tried one? Logically I would agree with you. But sort of like a Bee shouldn't be able to fly, even if your wrestling or working in your marshal arts skills, you will find them stable.

                      In extreme situations any system can fail, we have more than a couple of cases documented within this forum of clipped in holsters losing the gun, but day to day.

                      Like I said, I realize it's counter intuitive, but in every test we have had someone put it through it has passed. But like any system it's not for everyone. And it certainly won't work with every clothing type.

                      I say that as someone who sells every type of holster, most of which I make more on. Still something's have to be personally tried. That is why we have the store. Try before you buy is always the best path if possible.

                        My only free day is tomorrow, but the time I'm free varies, am I able to just stop by any time during the afternoon or do you prefer I make an appointment?

                          I am not typically there on Wednesdays, but if you give me about a 30 min heads up I can get over to the store and open up for you.

                          Tomorrow I am only planning to do bookkeeping so could get to the store in short order. Phone is 949.528.7385

                              Bring the guns, so you can try out the systems with your stuff, to make sure you would be happy.

                                Maybe I missed it somewhere, but is this holster designed to work between 2 pieces of your clothing? Between your pants and your tucked in t-shirt/boxers?
                                Or does it need to be touching some skin somewhere?
