That is a great looking holster @John. looks very functional and comfortable. I like the tapered sides. Not too much leather on either side. What did it cost ya?
Just curious...here in the mountains, pretty much everyone is within arms reach of a firearm. And everyone knows it. Open carry is permissible and often practiced (not by me though-not my style). That being said, there is not a lot of impetus to incorporate methods of ultra-concealment in these parts and "tuckable" holsters or other such gear are not the necessarily the order of the day.
My question is for those of you who by choice or local rule feel the need to carry "tuckable" IWB holsters, do you often use the aforementioned feature?? Seems as in a lot of environments an untucked shirt is sartorially accepted (at least around here it is).
Or do you just use the holster and throw on a shirt/jacket/etc and that be that??
If you are so inclined to carry a firearm in the "tucked" mode, how often do you practice bringing the weapon up to presentation? Although this is not rocket science, it does require some technique and facing up to a confrontation is NOT the best time to begin working on the aforementioned method of drawing the weapon.
I tried a High Noon "tuckable" IWB once; I didn't like it. Actually I have been very fre places within the past decade or so that a well-made, tight fitting OWB holster did not fit the bill quite well...
Anyone???
I carry "tucked" maybe 5% of the time at most. If I'm going somewhere where my shirt needs to be tucked in, I usually pocket carry or I have a jacket/sports coat on that allows for multiple different carry options. It's not a feature I use often, but it's nice to have when you need it.acmemfg said:My question is for those of you who by choice or local rule feel the need to carry "tuckable" IWB holsters, do you often use the aforementioned feature??
I have tuckable holsters, but have never used that feature - mostly because I just almost never tuck my shirts in anyway. The exception would be on the extremely rare occasion I wear a suit. In that case, I just use a nice pancake OWB holster and keep my jacket on (although, like you..open carry is allowed and fairly common where I live - it's just not what I prefer). Outside of that I'm wearing my hiking pants and a t-shirt, polo, or Henley....all untucked.
