They are a cheap persons' attempt to secure a good weapon. Translated: good way to lose your S&W.

You want a holster that will stay put and keep your gun at a constant location and angle of draw. If you're real about carryin concealed get some leather with leather belt loops.

I'm a retired cop and have carried concealed almost daily since January 1971. IWB is great but you need quality equipment. Police training mauals are replete with horror stories of guys losing their weapons holstered in cheap IWB holster systems. Give yourself a break and don't go cheap. Check out SimplyRugged.com they have a holster that can be worn IWB and OWB, might be worth a look. I have one for a 4" Redhawk and it's good leather.

Agree with Bronco45. If you want a plastic IWB holster for your pistol, you cannot do much better than Comp Tac products.
