IWB holster
Posted on 2/13/14 at 4:52 pm

I'm sure this has been discussed many times but searching on my phone is, well, a PITA.
I got a Shield this weekend and plan on carrying it every day. I have been carrying a bodyguard .380 without a holster, just in my pocket. I know a lot of people seem to like the Crossbreed Holsters but they look a little big. What are some other suggestions for holsters that will be completely concealed? I wear khakis and a tucked in Polo every day to work. Am I off base on the Crossbreed (supertuck) being kinda bulky?
ETA: This may be a good topic to add to Flair's FAQ thread.

I have an IWB holster from N82 Tactical and I LOVE IT. I'm sure they have one for the Shield. Check it out.

This is why I went with the mini tuck. I can take a pic right now if you want me to

You aren't going to get complete conceal with a tucked in polo. Unless you pocket carry

Yeah, I wear a sports coat or suit every day, so I never have problems concealing my weapon.

2nd the N82 tactical professional.
You can tuck a shirt in. I have 3 of them

They are so freaking comfortable. I love using mine.

Can recommend the Garrett Industries Silent Thunder. They're picking up a lot of adopters these days.
If you end up interested in a custom leather job, I recommend R Grizzle Leather.

When I say completely concealed I understand that belt clips would be visible. I am hunting something that has belt clips that are out a little ways from the holster so the shirt can be tucked between the two.
Also, do they offer the mini tuck for the shield? I thought it was for your pocket sized guns.

It took some getting used to the retention twist on the professional but I have gotten used to it and actually like the feature now

I just checked out the N82. I like the Neoprene idea. I assume the clip attaches to the holster at the bottom so you can tuck your shirt between the two, and only the clip is showing?
What do you mean about the retention twist? It looked kinda like the retention mechanism on a Blackhawk SERPA. Yes or no?

That N82 is the way to go then.

I have the supertuck, the minituck, and the N8 2 iwb holsters. I personally prefer the minituck for my everyday carry. Just depends on what you are comfortable with, though.

Mine is the original, but it's for my Nano. I'm getting the professional for my Kimber, though.
ETA: What's the difference between the two?

I appreciate the help. Unless someone comes up with a suggestion that's out of this world, I think I'm gonna give the N82 Professional a shot.

You have to twist a little ( mag end of the grip into your body to release the gun). I think there are several YouTube videos that talk about it, Yankee Marshall has one I believe

Original is just elastic. Professional is molded plastic with retention

Gotcha. I love mine. Best holster I own, bar none.

I've had 2 super tucks by crossbreed. Only complaint is my patience on waiting for them. Just recently bought the MTAC IWB holster by Comp Tac. Gotta say I like it over my crossbreeds, it's more comfortable. I wear a suit and tie everyday.
As for the belt issue.. Check out "C Clips" I'm sure you can get them with whatever holster you choose for iwb, but they seem to hide the clip a little better than traditional over the top of belt clip.

I've heard great things about the AlienGear IWB's. I am about to order one myself, check them out. They offer a 30 day trial run also and a great price.

This. I have 2 of their professional models. One for G26, one for Shield. Very comfortable.
ETA: As someone said, just search N82 tactical on YouTube and you'll see tons of reviews. Not sure I've ever seen a bad review either. Great product.
