MAN WITH A GUN
IWB Carry Holsters

It is HOT where I am and I need an inside waist carry holster for a SIG P226 or H&K P2000.

1. I have one which rubs me raw!

2. I need a body shield and moisture guard.

3. Comfort is a MUST.

Thanks for the help.

Get a Kydex one with a sweatshield if you can stand kydex. Otherwise, get a leather one.

I'd personally go with UBG holsters, but that's me. Apparently KD holsters has short wait times, too.

Is Kydex better than leather in a hot, humid environment? Here in Oklahoma, it gets 160 degrees in the shade! Not to mention it's 99% humidity!

Well, kydex doesn't retain moisture, let it get to the gun, & won't break down from hot & humid days.

I just find it uncomfortable, but I'm told that's because I haven't found the right one.

A friend of mine swears by those holsters. I bought one for my Kahr PM9. It was for a Glock 26, but worked fine with the PM9 in it. When tried it out with my G 26, a funny thing happened. The holster would come out with the gun half the time!

I always practice drawing with a new weapon, & that one failed the test. Well, actually, it was fine with a smaller gun in it.

Hands down, the best IWB holster I've ever tried is the Tucker Answer.

It has a leather backing, but that is lined with a thin layer of chrome tanned suede, which both feels great next to the body, and because of the bonding, prevents sweat from reaching the gun. Because it is chrome-tanned, it is nearly impervious to the effects of sweat and body oils. The nap of the suede on mine has stayed soft and comfortable for over a year of daily wear.





They have to be tried to be believed. It really is, "THE Answer".

I carry ALL my CCW's in a Milt Sparks VersaMax-II IWB!

Inside (against the body) is horse hide so moisture is not a problem. Comfortable against bare skin, hides under a tee shirt!

I had one of these, and after I drew my weapon just to test the draw on it, it took a crow bar and 4 kindergardeners to get my Glock back in!
