Anyone tried the Fist #22 Secret System?

I am looking for a tuckable. Please save the "it's not a good idea" post's. I understand the pro's and con's of a tuckable.

The thing is I need one at work. I currently pocket holster a Taurus small frame revolver (J frame type) and it work's well but sometimes I want the option of a larger gun and without a tuckable it's not possible.

I know of other tuckable options out there and looking at them as well, I just wanted to see if anyone here has this holster and what there opinion is of it.

Hey man, to me, it looks like a primo holster.

If you do get it, be sure and post your thoughts on it!

I tried a Comp-Tac holster with the velcro attachments (Briefly), & didn't care for it, but that's me.

For tuckable, I use an UGBholsters "Nassar" model & one of Fist's kydex models. I use a phone case that carries my phone horizontally & clip it to the holster clip to hide it.

I also carry my guns in the appendix position, so it's still quick to draw even using the tuckable mode.

No experience w/FIST #22, but have had poor luck with #20

Since I'm a lil on the "buffet line" size I use a MTAC or Crossbreed Supertuck when there's need for tails in. The CB even has spacers on the clip for increased clearance for shirts.

My .02

What problems are you having with the #20, It look's like a nice set up?

I am also looking at both the MTAC as well as the CB super tuck but the exposed clip's are an issue and the #22 is completely out of sight, I don't want the "what are the clip's for" questions?.

Even though the #22 is unique and will need getting used to I'm sure it is just like concealed carry in general, everything is a compromise in order to make it apart of your edc. From what you wear, how you wear it, size, color, etc. I see no reason why I can't make this holster set up for the "office" work 8-10hours a day.

I am surprised no one has posted experiance with a #22 yet, seem's like it would be a good option for deep concealment.

I have to step in and offer another vote for the $35 Galco bellyband. I know it isn't the usual gorgoeus leather or space-age kydex seen around, but I have found that the versatility of this thing is incredible. It allows for tuckable wear with absolutely no tabs, clips, etc. I have found placing it so that the barrel points on the outside of my right thigh, with the grip and rear sight only above my belt, nothing prints, even when I try (tests with those who know I carry). In addition, the elastic and leather combination combines to hold the weapon like it was custom made for it. I still am unhappy solely with the placement of the spare mag pouch, but that is the only complaint I cancome up with. I can jog with it, draw it very quickly with little practice, and move to any other carry position I care for, should one style begin to be uncomfortable through the day. Naturally, re-holstering is not possible, though.

I've just now ordered their #14. As advertised, it is a combo that can be used either OWB or IWB. Won't be able to comment until the holster arrives. Looks good on the website.

Is this the one you are talking about? http://www.usgalco.com/HolsterG3.asp...=2441&GunID=55

Is there anyway can get you to post a pick or two of the way you are saying you are carrying your's? I'd like to see it from a real perspective.
