Holster Recommendations

[Bozz10mm]

Honestly , I just read about 2 items that really do not work together very well. IMO of course....

IWB & full size 1911 / Sig P226 , with the shirt tucked in...

Regardless of your body type , I really can not envision "any" full size carry gun being worn IWB.....with a shirt tucked in (over the gun).

Once again just my honest opinion.
let us know of the outcome - thx !

I tend to agree with this. You might be better off with a Shield 45 and a Stealth Gear vent core mini. That's how I carry IWB with a shirt tucked. Dang big ol' 1911 is hard to hide IWB.

Given the restrictions placed by your boss on office dress, I think you need to look at a smaller gun.
With the newer ammo, 9mm is a viable option in a small pistol. I'm not at all against 1911s.
I've got two of them in .45 ACP, but they are OWB pistols, at least for me.
SIG and Kimber both make small 1911 style in 9mm the would be easily carried IWB tucked.
My opinion, worth only what it cost you.

I think you may want to have a look at something like SmartCarry Invisible Concealed Carry Holsters - Holsters

They have several videos online. (I have no connection nor have I ever used them but they seem to have many, er, supporters.)

Thanks for the link. That may be just the thing for some of my daughters' (plural) outfits.

You might consider something from Pistol Wear. they do show that 1911's fit certain models

Aw, come on. The man wants to carry his .45. He wants some ideas for that or his big Sig. Holster suggestions not different guns.

The holster can be leather, kydex or a combination of either. Obviously inside the waistband with a tucked in shirt.

Serious question here. Why "obviously" inside the waistband? Even an IWB doesn't completely conceal the handgun when worn with a tucked in shirt. The wearer has to have something showing above the belt line...has to be able to draw the pistol without having to reach all the way down inside the pants below the waistline to grab hold of the grip.

Or am I looking at this wrong? My point is, you say you'll be allowed to carry concealed at work now. An IWB holster is not going to fully conceal the handgun.

Here's a DeSantis IWB holster for an example. There's definitely gonna be some gun showing above the waistline.

Im not against other suggestions however I am pretty set on the 2 guns I mentioned. I do appreciate sticking to the info I provided though.

I understand not everyone may like my choices but those are the options I have. My only other viable option is a Glock 19 which may work its way into the lineup but not my first choice.

"obviously" inside the waistband because if it was outside/on the belt it would be visible with a tucked in shirt. Unless Im misunderstanding what you are saying.

Of course the gun will be somewhat printing with the shirt tucked in but its still technically concealed by the laws of my state and policy.

It doesnt have to be "undetectable". It just has to be "concealed" in the loosest definition.

I do love foxtrotconcealment. I carry IWB, kydex, 100% of the time, and it's easy to drape your shirt over the grip. The biggest gun I carry IWB is a Ruger SR9.

 

[Knochen]

Given the parameters I definitely would consider a belly ban or one that I was first skeptical of, but come to be a fan from the folks over at Concealed Carry Holsters • 100% Ultimate Gun Concealment

 

[Echo40]

Kinda' puts a new twist on the ol' Mae West question...

"Is that a gun in yer pocket, or are ya' just happy ta' see me?"

At least they're not as silly as those Urban Carry holsters that make it look like you're giving yourself a wedgie or pulling a bra out of your pants with the G2 models.

Ankle Holster?

Recognizing that drawing from an ankle holster is not the easiest, it is sometimes a viable alternative. I carry a Shield 9 in one when I'm wearing a choir robe; IWB is not an option. I have a "Topmeet," which I bought online for less than $20. I've worn it comfortably for 11 hours. I forget it's there. It works best with dress slacks with large cuffs. Jean material is generally too stiff. Works for me; might work for you.

Alien Gear Holsters are top-notch and offered at Amazon too.

FWIW, Tagua makes tuckable hybrid holsters for some guns and they are a good value IMO. I have one I've been using to carry my LC9 at least once and often multiple times a week for a couple of years now and it is holding up great.

I have a Crossbreed Supertuck. Check out their site to see if it is available for your handgun of choice. After you get them broken in, they are really comfortable and no one will know unless you tell them or they know what the little metal Crossbreed hooks are. They show clipped over your belt.

Vedder LightTuck KYDEX HOLSTER is one of the best. It allows a shirt to be tucked in, adjustable cant, different ride heights, has a sweat shield and a combat cut for a good grip from the holster. JMO
Hidden Hybrid Holsters or Nano Tuck-n-Hide hybrid holster are my choice for a HYBRID HOLSTER. With all the same abilities as a Vedder holster.
I have a Vedder LightTuck for my S&W 380 Bodyguard and will get another Vedder holster for my S&W 9mm EZ (with safety) when they become available. They do make one for 9EZ without a safety.

Be SAFE and Shoot Often!

I guess it depends on your size, physique, and blue jeans because I'm 5-9 and 185 and I wear cowboy cut blue jeans every day with a belt and tucked in shirt and I can't fathom how to conceal a 1911 or big double stack gun. Even with a smaller and thinner gun you would see the clips or belt straps on a good inside the waistband holster which would bug me. I know Walmart and Academy Sports sell a belly band type holster so you might buy every kind you can find and try them out and return the ones or all that don't work.

You need a soft loop kydex holster with a tuckable clip as seen below
