Holster idea: sticky holster plus magnets

[Califpatriot]

Goal: use a Sticky-type holster to eliminate any clips along the belt line for IWB carry while at the same time adding more retention to said holster than it would ordinarily have. At the same time, keep a tucked cover garment/shirt from getting untucked and potentially exposing the firearm. There's nothing on the market as far as I can tell that does this well.

How?


Use adhesive magnets attached to the outside of the Sticky holster. These would magnetically adhere to magnets placed between your gunbelt and your pants. Have a few ideas in mind. One is using using adhesive to attach magnets to the inside of your gun belt. Another is simply having magnets on a frame that goes between the belt and the pants.

Thoughts? I'm going to play around with different options and see what happens.

I tried a 2” strip of heavy duty Velcro (plastic hook side of the Velcro) placed horizontally on the inside of some pants, at the top of the waistband. Counter that with a small 1” piece of fuzzy Velcro stuck on the outside of the Sticky holster and sewn on with just a few stitches of a needle.

Place the holster, tap the Velcro together and it works fine....just enough extra grip for confidence.

I considered that but the tucked shirt which is between the pants and the holster will block the velcro binding.

What about a J clip? It goes between your pants and belt and hooks under your belt.

Works fine, if you're not trying to avoid any clips around your beltline. Same with a v-clip.
That's great, but it doesn't avoid the clip along beltline. If you're going that route, then I'd suggest a Vedder lighttuck (or alternative quality kydex/leather of your choice) with j or v clips or an ulticlip, instead of a sticky holster.

I do agree entirely with you on the need for strong magnets. But neodymium isn't expensive
