642 leather clip holster that sits lower?
Are there any legit leather holsters with a clip that sit lower? All the holsters I've seen put the belt about halfway through the gun so the grip sticks about 2-3 inches above the belt which "pokes" through my shirt.
Aren't there any with say, a SWEAT GUARD that has the clip on the guard so that the entire gun sits lower?
I plan on carrying 530 if that makes any difference.
Thanks!

Here's my EDC holster-- it's an Ace Case size 2 untuckable which I carry in the appendix position. Note the ride height of the 2" model 36 in it-- any higher than that & it prints, at least with my thick-around-the-middle physique. In my experience, most IWB holsters ride higher than this. You might have to buy a few before you find what you want, or else have one of the holster-smiths on this site make one up to your specifications.

BELLCHARTEROAK and LOBOGUNLEATHER can fix you up,
with the options you want. Prices are good. I have holsters from these two Forum-listed vendors, and they'll do you right. Other folks make
great holsters, too, but I have no experience with the others for IWB.
Check out their websites, and maybe give them a call. Both are
great to work with, and will tell you right away whether they'll
do the job or not, and how long it'll take. I like the lower
positioning, too, for conceal.

This one carries the butt even with the top of the belt.
Contact Ed. He can use mine as a pattern.

I just ordered a iwb for a 442 from ray at lobo in horsehide. He made me a fine holster for my 65 3" & I have no doubt this one will be excellent also
