Holy info overload. How many IWB rigs do I need? Yikes. Hard to find a decent one for a Dan Wesson 6" .357. :>}

If there's a Milt Sparks Summer Special for your weapon, try it.

Has worked the best for my 5" 1911 - and I have a whole drawer of rejects that didn't hold it in place well or were difficult to put on/take off or, or, or...

I’m holding out for the inside-the-pant-leg drop holster!

It’s tough for us thin guys to find room for IWB. No natural padding.

Can I get one that slides out of my sleeve like in “Taxi Driver” yet?

I bought a holster from http://jacksonleatherwork.com/ back in Nov. Mr. Jackson said it would take 6 to 8 weeks to build. It actually took 9 weeks to arrive and it was worth the wait. Every holster is hand built. If you carry on a regular basis like me it is worth the money and the wait.

LOL! I already moved “out here” and if I wish, I can “western” carry whenever I feel like it. NV open carry. Hmmmm. Maybe a Hopalong Cassidy type rig with a couple of silver SAA .45’s. :>}

I bought an Alien Gear thinking I didn’t want to risk much money until I found out if I liked IWB carry and that I would upgrade by having one fit to me. I have been carrying a LC9S in it for a year now and feel no need to change. Very comfortable and well made.

+1 on stickyholsters although I have found remora holsters to be even better.

The problem with inside-the-waistband holsters is I’ve got a bit too much inside the waistband.
Losing weight just so my IWB will fit again. (Straining the limits of a belt is “red alert”, not time for a new belt.)

Good thing “Noscript” stopped their automatic playing of their video and now I have no reason to ever visit their site again...

Milt Sparks makes one of the best IWB holsters available, but I've never been able to use one comfortably.

I've got a heavy leather holster with a suede finish...made for outside the waistband use on the right side.

I'm lefty so it works great as an IWB holster for my LC-9...after a few tweaks. Well worn and very comfy.

Iwb doesn’t currently work with me. I pocket carry or use Fobus holsters. They slip on over the belt so easily and keep the weapon close to your side, with untucked shirt concealing very easily.

Another plus, Fobus is an Israeli company. I have a Fobus for every handgun I buy.

God bless Israel!
