Features Of The IWB Holster
It’s time to finish this. Now that we’ve got the carry style and holster material of your IWB holster
covered it’s time to talk about features of IWB holsters that should be present in all of them, well, all
of the good ones. So while making those final decisions pay attention to:
 The way iwb holsters hold on your belt
 Tuckability of the IWB holster
 Adjustable or not adjustable cant
 Ability to draw and reholster with ease
The way IWB holsters hold on to your belt.
You might be wondering, how does this affect the decision-making process. The answer is big time.
The first thing an IWB holster needs to do is to stay where it should, on your gun belt, this makes this
feature very important. You can choose between holsters with belt loops or belt clips.
Belt loops are a classic - you put your belt through the loop and it holds the holster. The drawback is
that the holster is not movable without unbuckling your belt and can’t be adjusted. The advantage is
that the durability of the loops is bigger than the durability of the clip.
Belt clips come in different forms and materials. They are also called hooks, as they hook to your belt
and carry their prefixes according to letters which they resemble. A j-hook looks like the letter “J” etc.
Most bet clips are made of plastic, some are made of metal. While metal is a stronger material in
general, plastic clips sometimes offer more durability than metal hooks because the thinner the metal
the less durable it becomes. The advantage of belt clips is the ease of putting the iwb holster on and
off and adjusting it if need be without having to unbuckle the belt. The drawback may be the wearing-
out of the material and a potential collapse in the worse time imaginable.
