Tuckable Holster Recommendation

[*bryce*]

Hi everyone,
I have recently been carrying my Glock 26 a lot and feel like my holster is leaving something to be desired. I am currently using a Desantis SOFTUK and feel that it is rather bulky. I usually carry at the 3 o-clock position because I've never had a comfy appendix carry.
I am going to be buying a Glock 43 soon so I would like to but a better holster for it.
I'm looking for something tuck able to wear under dress clothes with dress pants. I'm not sure if I should be looking into Kydex or switch brands.

The 43 can be carried anywhere. the 26 is a little more work but can be carried almost anywhere as well. There are a lot of good tuckable holsters. Either leather or kydex will work well. Since the gun is so small both will be comfortable. For these guns I recommend kydex. Personally I like this holster which is why I sell it. http://packinfurdefense.com/products...d-holser-glock what is nice is it' is easy to carry and easy to tuck your shirt in. The cant is fully adjustable, as is retention, fit and finish are excellent. The maker produces holsters for a number of national orgs, and major police departments.

There are a couple of guys in the commercial forum that also make very nice kydex holsters, although I carry the Cook's brand holsters for a reason. The model I suggested will work well for you in either appendix or 3 O'clock. The 43 works so well as an appendix and pocket carry gun. The 26 is great at 3 O'clock.

There are a number of good Leather holsters that are tuckable, but generally they don't let you adjust cant. The big thing is to make sure the throat stays open for good re-holstering.

I was in Vegas last week for SHOT, if you had posted before would have brought some out for you to try.

Thanks for the reply. I am going to look in the vendor section and see what is available. I know there is a gentlemen in town that makes Kydex holsters but I haven't ever experienced a Kydex so I am unsure if that will work.

This might be too general of a question but is Kydex thinner than leather? I feel my Desantis is rather thick. I understand that Kydex is less flexible but that obviously shouldn't be a factor since my gun should be flexing lol.

One thing I love about my Desantis is that on my belt all you can see is a little tab on the bottom. That is important for me because I don't want a large black buckle over my brown belt.

There are a number of solutions for that, most discreet being the UltiClip.

It's not cheap, but provides SOLID purchase, and it is 100% behind the belt (clips onto the top of the pants).

I can't recommend it on hybrid holsters that expose the back of the clips to the skin like the Aliengear and Tucker. The pivot mechanism for the clip tends to pinch.
For a holster where the clip is shielded by the holster, like the Cooks, or a hybrid with a taller backing, like the Crossbreed, they work.

You would think that may be a problem but it's not. First of all beside being very small, it's not anywhere your hand should be after the clip is down and locked. If worn covertly the belt is over it. If won on the belt still not a problem

The Ulti-Clip is a great choice for holsters for women, and works great in certain applications for men. I only have one holster left in stock with one, it is for a P238, but if you wanted to try it on just for kicks your welcome by.

It solves a lot of problems for certain customer sets. Not for everyone, but a very well made product. And made here is the U.S. Part of the cost is they are made here, and hand assembled. But the key is they work, and that little tab hasn't proved to be a pain in the hand for anyone yet.

That's why I qualified it for hybrids where the clip is not shielded from the skin by the backing.

I put them on my AG for a total of about 20 minutes before removing them.
The same situation would exist on my Tucker. The Crossbreed would be okay, but I made the mistake of going cheap on the backing material and I just don't care for it (plus I don't carry the G26)
It's not an issue of the drawing hand... it's an issue of it poking into the "love handles"

On a holster like the Cooks or DeSantis, this clip would work great.

Kydex comes in a number of thickness but typically .8mm. The truth is that the average well made IWB Kydex is only marginally thicker than the gun itself. Some of the tactical makes are overly thick.

Not to offend your sensibilities, but the holster I recommended was designed and developed for the Well Armed Woman organization by Cooks. It turns out to be a great holster for everyone, but if it can fit comfortably on a 4'5" woman, your no problem.

On the add side I offer a 15 day money back return policy. I am sure your local guy can do something similar.

On the other hand you are wearing a gun inside your pants. If you were stretching your clothes before you decided to carry than nothing will feel right. If you had the usual amount of give the Kydex holster of the type I showed you should not be a problem no matter who makes it. Yes a quality leather will be slightly thicker than kydex.

Actually it works great on the Alien Gear. How did you attach it to the holster. Do you have a photo?

The first time I saw the clip in action was on a Stealth Gear.

The clip mechanism is on the outside of the pants, the shirt would be tucked in behind it

In fact the guys at Tedder (the owners of Alien Gear) and I were talking about this clip being available last Wednesday at SHOT SHOW.

I wasn't wearing it tucked.

I want the option, but normally wear untucked polos or T's

Trying to think back now and I'm not 100% sure it was the AG... it may have been the Tucker, but that little pin hurt the fat roll.

I would have to see it, I can't imagine how the fat roll would come in contact. Not saying it couldn't, but it shouldn't have. Where you wearing a belt at the time?

I love my N82 Professional tuckable for my P11 or PF9

Yes, jeans and a belt.
T-shirt untucked, so the back of the Ulticlip was in full contact with my side.

Thinking about it again, I'm pretty sure it was the AG and not the Tucker.
It was more of an issue when seated, but there was some discomfort at all times that wasn't there with the standard clips.

Again, this is a completely moot point for the Cook's, which fully shields the clip from the body.

King tuck is unnecessarily bulky for a G26. Great for a G17, but not needed with the smaller guns.

Hey guys,
Sorry for not replying sooner.
I finally found a 43 for $450 and it came with a Hogue Handall which in my opinion makes the grip feel perfect.
I have reached out to my local Kydex guy but wasn't in love with his options. I am going to jump on the vendor section immediately after posting this.

I am wondering if anyone can comment on a cheaper holster to use when not necessarily being tucked. I am thinking something light to wear when I wear a suit jacket that I won't take off. That way I can have my gun concealed my by suit jacket instead of my shirt.
The guy I bought the gun from recommended one of the "sticky" holsters that rely on compression to keep the gun in place. He said it was made by Remora.
