Default DeSantis Tuck-This

Anyone have any experience with this holster? I'm trying to conceal a 6906 under polo type shirts. Do they work? Reasonably comfortable? Thanks in advance!

I used the original Tuck-This for some time with my M&P40c, which is very comparable in size to your 6906 (I actually carried Dad's 6906 in that very holster a few times). The holster is easy to put on and take off, very adjustable, holds the weapon securely, and the mag pouch sewn to the front is very handy. Price was not bad at all either.

The few things I didn't like were the tendency for the whole setup to flop down when dropping your pants (or pulling them up for that matter) though I believe this is remedied with the Tuck-This II, it has very defined edges when worn which make it more visible compared to other designs that blend the bulk of the holster back into your body, and it can be difficult to re-holster when wearing it. It also had a tendency to change its cant, which was both good and bad (sometimes became more comfortable when sitting).

Overall I was pretty happy with it, it suited my needs well for a while. I would suggest looking into something a bit more stable though, such as a Comp-Tac, Crossbreed Super-Tuck, or Kholster. You would probably be happier with one of them and they aren't that much more expensive.

I conceal a SW40VE in a Kholster under polo-type shirts every day. Works great and conceals VERY well. Not sure what all sidearms Jimmy makes the Kholster for, but you should check out his website or give him a call.

Several forum mebers have praised the Kholster for both function and price. Used with semi-auto and wheel guns...

Kholster

I called Jimmy at Kholster and he says he can't fit the 6906. I could have sworn that I'd seen posts from folks with a 6906 in one. Oh well...I suppose I'll try the DeSantis. I need to start this holster collection I hear we all go through.
