3 Ways To Choose The [Best] IWB Holster 3 Ways To Choose The Best IWB Holster | Page 11

Some iwb holsters come with leather “hooks” with snaps. This is basically a hybrid version of leather
and belt clips. These leather straps are simply unclipped then added around the belt and clipped
together and they combine the best features of leather with the best features of belt clips.
Tuckability of the IWB holster
An IWB holster is worthless if it can’t deep conceal your self defense firearm. Tuckablity of the
holster can be understood in 2 ways. The 1st is the tuckability of the holster inside your pants, i.e. how
much of the firearm can be concealed inside your waistband. The more the better, as then the possible
gun print will be eliminated even more.The 2nd way is the tuckability of a cover garment over the iwb
holster. Tuckable IWB holsters are attached to your belt mostly by belt clips and provide enough
space for a shirt to cover them. This is as far as concealability of a iwb holster can go.
Adjustable or non-adjustable cant
The cant of the holster and more respectively, the cant of the firearm is a factor to consider while
choosing your IWB holster. Why? Because it’s more comfortable to draw your firearm from your
holster if the grip meets the hand without any obstructions. The cant can be adjusted by a
repositioning of the belt loops (one being higher than the other) or by a mechanical feature of the
holster. Canted IWB holsters are best used in 3 or 4 o’clock positions.
Ability of draw and re-holster with ease
Saving the best for last. You might have found your iwb holster that has has the perfect material and
position but as long as you can’t reach the gun and draw with ease and quick we’ve got some bad
news for you. Drawability of the holster must be as fast as the draw ability of you. Mention in the
section dealing with material, the drawability is mostly a material thing, but not always. reinforced
openings or a lined interior, or an adjustable cant are the things that are not bound to material but are
crucial in draw and reholstering of your self defense firearm. Always pay attention to them while
choosing your IWB holster. The more they have of them the better.
