I have a couple nice IWB holsters that I wear. One is a Brommeland max-con and the other is a Tucker heritage. My question is, does anyone have an issue of the Brommeland or other holster of this type tending to sag pulling your belt down? I know it's not a tightening issue because I've tried it everwhere from loose to extremely tight. I mean it's not going to pull my pants down (sorry, bad visual image) but I can just tell it's dragging on them.

The Tucker however, with rough side out, doesn't do this and I can even loosen the belt slightly and still not have this problem. I like the idea of loops better than clips but this is kind of annoying in a way that it would happen. I also have a VMII that does the same thing. It seems that this problem for me is any IWB holster with smooth side out against the body.

Am I the only one who has this problem? Surely others have had this issue and somehow overcome it. Thanks.

I think the problem is the belt not the holster.

I would have said that at first too. I probably should have said what my belts were. I have three belts that I've used to make it better. One is a Sparks. One is a beltman, and one is a wilderness.

Maybe I should say that the pistol is an all steel commander and it ain't light. With the Tucker, again, no problem. With an smooth back holster, it seems to sag after a small period of time.

This is my solution to the sagging problem. Logger suspenders. YMMV.

Belt issue most likely.

Perhaps more of a body type issue. Not everyone is built the same. I tend to find my hip bone holding my gun and belt in position .

I carry my 5" Mil-Spec in a MaxCon V, no issues with sagging on mine. Sounds like you're wearing good belts, unless they're just old and worn out that shouldn't be the source of the problem. Like Rocky said, maybe it's your body type or build giving you fits. You might have to stick with rough side out holsters if that's what works best for you.

Or slap a piece of moleskin on the part of the holster next to the body...

(Apologies, Gary, for suggesting someone uglify one of your holsters....)

You have the problem even using good belts. You need a pair of suspenders.

You answered your own question. You have problems with smooth sided IWB holsters but not with roughout. Wear roughout, or do as suggested and use moleskin or some glue on lightweight roughout leather strips.
