Title says it all. I have a Galco OWB holster which is great but I would like to try an IWB. Suggestions?

I use a Galco KingTuk, but I don't carry it tucked in. I find it very comfortable with a shirt underneath and a cover garment.
 
Thanks for the reply's so far. I looked at the Remora but don't understand how it stays in place. Friction only? Those that have one
please give me more detail or information. Can you carry at 5 o'clock? Appendix? Thanks in advance!
 
I own a Galco Kingtuk and the Crossbreed Super tuck. I'd give the Crossbreed the slight advantage for tucking in of the shirt, but otherwise both great holsters
 
I use and really like the Bianchi Suppression holster. It has a mesh covered foam backing that is really comfortable and it is tuckable if that is a requirement.

The only thing I don't like about it (and I didn't find out until I received it :mad:) is it's made in Mexico.

Check out this YouTube video: Remora No-Clip IWB Holster - review & demo - YouTube

I bought my wife one for Christmas and she loves it. It worked so well that I ordered one for my M&P 9c. It's amazing how well they work. You also won't believe how quickly it will arrive after ordering.
 
Lots of excellent holster makers out there. I really like Remora holsters, just bought two more.
I also love my N82. I got the full size professional model and it also works quite well with compact too. It is extremely comfortable but a bit more hassle to put on and take off.

Check them both out. I find the Remors web site a bit hard to figure out but there are good youtube videos on both, as well as many other brands.
 
Comp-Tac Minotaur MTac.

I haven't bothered trying anything else IWB. Very Comfy after getting broken in.

Invest in a good belt. They're worth their weight in gold if you plan on carrying lots.

I personally went with a 'Gets better with age' belt from Duluth Trading Co. Not a dedicated gun belt, but super sturdy, and dressy enough to fit my office job dress code.
 
If you don't want to wait for someone to make you one, and believe me we have some super holster makers on the forum, then take a look at the standard manufactures. I carry mine in a Bianchi 100 Professional.

Off the rack, and into the waistband without wait.
 
I find the Milt Sparks VMII to be the most comfortable IWB holster I've ever worn. I have them for all my M&Ps, except for my Shield that I recently purchased . . . will likely order one for that gun too shortly.
 
+1 for Comp Tac MTAC. Fully adjustable cant, ride height, retention, and tuckable. I just ordered a CTAC from them for my 1911. Love it.
 
If you have a thumb safety, stay away from the Galco King Tuck. I ordered it to use until the Raven Concealment Phantom comes in. The Galco is inexpensive and comfortable but, if I turn a certain way, the flap that covers the slide will click the safety off. Through Optics Planet, it was listed for the thumb safety but, in reality, not so much. I don't tuck with it. The clips are pretty big.
 
I ordered a Supertuck Deluxe on 1/26. I emailed them today to see if it shipped, and because of the current gun/ammo rush they now say 6-8 weeks delivery. :mad: They said anything ordered on 1/16 shipped today, so I guess it won't be too long...
 
I'll have my Old Faithful in a week or so and will report back. (Lefty for 7-8 o'clock IWB carry)

Right now my 9c sits in a Masters leather Reversible that sits at 6oclock IWB and/or 9 OWB. Not a bad rig but I've drawn the holster with the gun too many times at the range. And that's not acceptable for me.

Check out lobogunleather.com. Ray is a member here and made one for my FS MP9 and I couldn't be happier. He makes a quality holster at a great price and I've never seen a negative post about his holsters. Takes about 5 or 6 weeks to get it. Do a search and you'll see what I mean.
 
Just got my Old Faithful IWB for my 9c. It's incredible. I assembled the kit for $40 shipped.

Had it on for about 3 hours now and I'm already forgetting it's there.

For IWB I have three different holsters and use only one due to comfort size and quality and it is the Comp Tac Minotaur MTAC with finished leather on both sides and also a smaller holster than the Crossbreed which I have but only use to hold my weapons that I am not using for carry and also what is called a Shielded Holster much like the Crossbreed but too wide and with unfinished leather on the back side is not really that comfortable and also does the same as the Crossbreed!

Hands down the Minotaur MTAC is the best most comfortable and with fast shipping, I even have one for my Shield40!
 
I use Comp Tac Minotaur MTAC for my 40c and Shield. I can swap the Kydex covers :-)

I have a Foxx for my compacts. I wear it at 7-8 o clock since I'm a lefty. It's pretty nice. Took less than a week to get too!
