Need Suggestion

Post by JC420IN »

I have a Ruger P95 and I am looking for a suggestion for a good inside the pants holster to C/C. I like the holster I have because it holds my extra mag but it's can be hard to conceal with just a t-shirt. Any ideas? Thanks.

I should have put this in the original post but here's a pick of what I'm using its made to be inside/outside and left/right but a little bulky. Thanks again for any ideas.

I have a pancake type inside pants, small of the back draw(personal preference), but I don't really care for it much, I think its an uncle mike, something like that, but I always feel like the gun is about to fall out. I prefer to have an outside with restraints like the one you pictured. I also have a double shoulder rig, also uncle mikes but it only works with a jacket.

Bianchi Pro IWB...I have 3 and love them. They are easy on, easy off, easy to use, comfortable, and easy to conceal with nothing but a t-shirt. Depending on placement you might print but that really doesnt bother me. For some its a major concern.

The Crossbreed SuperTuck or MiniTuck, and the Comp-Tach seem to be the two top choices for maximum concealment with optimum comfort. I did a write up of the two in another thread here.

I have the CrossBreed Supertuck and I love it. I carry a Glock model 30, .45 cal which is pretty thick but this holster makes all day carry very comfortable. It has the option to tuck your shirt into the holster and just blouse the shirt a little to cover the clips. It is invisible with a loose T-shirt left out as well as tucked in. Once it molds to your body it feels like a part of your hip.The quality is great and the customer service is as well. Check out the site http://www.crossbreedholsters.com for a look at his work and some customer reviews. He has a combat cut option that some say is easier to get a good grip when drawing but mine is just the standard cut. If you come to Sgt Bill's meet and greet in June you can see mine and probably about every other brand out there to help you decide.

I've read all your responses and some reviews and watched some videos, I think I'm going to give the Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe a try. I'll let you know what I think after I actually get it.

After reading this, I'm almost convinced myself on a crossbreed. Do you need to increase your pants waist size at all to accommodate the holster?

Saw an ad for a Galco IWB made of Kydex with a nice wide clip. Looks peachy!

Have a Grandfather Oak kydex IWB with a small leather loop, but I think the loop is too narrow. Also takes them 2-3 months to get you a holster. Still waiting on a couple of them as a matter of fact.

i have a Galco IWB holster that fits my compact .45 or my Full size Glock... which is nice...I do not wear really baggy clothes, so from the right angle, you can see a print,
its works and is OK, but in a the market for something...well...more...

Also, side note, i did get a pair of pants that have an adjustable waist band, to better CC my IWB and piece...well, I lost a few pounds, (go ahead laugh it up, but i did :) ) but now i feel like i have clown pants on when i carry...which sorta makes me laugh at myself in a general way...

SO- if you see the guy in clown pants with a big smile...Just know that he packin heat :hysterical:

According to a couple of the videos I watched you need them slightly bigger especially if you are going to wear it right on your side, but I already wear my clothes baggy so I think I'll be ok. As I said I will give my opinion on it once I've actually ordered and received it. Thanks again for the advice everyone.

A SuperTuck is definitely more comfortable with an elastic or slightly oversized waistband. The ST keeps the butt of the gun tighter to the body than most other holsters. It's really a pretty good design. I would strongly consider the "combat cut" version also. It creates a better grip access on the draw.

Their double-thick gun belts are really nice also, but if you want to use one with the ST, add a couple of inches to accomodate the extra girth created by the IWB.

I think it would move around a lot without a belt. I've never tried it with mine, but it's probably not ideal.

I'm not much of a belt person. Thats why I like the Bianchi Pro. Its got a metal clip (actually for a belt) but clips nicely on your jeans. Throw it on and go. Doesnt move at all.

Unless I'm going to be out all day long I usually dont like taking much time getting ready to go out. And if you're just going to be gone for an hour, Its hard to convince myself to take 30 minutes getting ready. Maybe I should.

Is that Super Tuck easy on?

Zephyp, I wouldn't exactly call it easy on, I have a hard time getting it on without loosening belt and pants. That said you can use it with no belt, just get it with the metal clips like the one you currently wear.

I finally got around and ordered the cb supertuck today so once I actually get it I'll let you know what I think and after having it for awhile I'll let you know if I actually like it or not. They said that it make to 3 to 4 weeks to receive it though because their orders have picked up quite a bit lately, so I'll let you know how long it takes also
