A few things come to mind: I am personally very much against a "tuckable" because it slows access to the weapon and greatly increases the "fumble factor". Having said that, whichever way you decide to carry, do it the same way all of the time.
I can see the sense in that - the problem is that I don't dress the same way all the time. I don't think carrying tucked is a great solution, and will avoid doing so unless dress mandates it.

I am also opposed to the use of Kydex clips of any kind. I'll qualify this by saying that there are folks who will disagree with me on this, but my concern is that they work great until they don't. I've seen Kydex fatigue and break with little warning.
I'm not crazy about them myself. It's not obvious to me why stiffened snap loops wouldn't be as effective, but that's likely because I have zero expertise in holster-making (and not much more in holster-using).

I've decided to give an MTAC a try. I don't expect it to be perfect, but I'm very much in the mode of trying to get the most "bang for the buck" out of the weapons and skills I already have and those I can acquire at a high value-to-cost ratio. Time for practice I have; scads of money to try umpteen different weapon/holster combinations (as fun as it might be) I don't have.

Quote:
One final note - seek out some good tactical training.
This is what I'd rather spend the money on, when it's available. The two-day Defensive Handgun course at Shootrite was worth it to me and then some - I'm hoping to return at some point for the second Handgun and possibly the concealment course.

Tuckable holsters work exceptionally well in the circumstances for which they're designed and when the individual is well-versed and practiced in their use. Some people may not want to take the time to become proficient, and hence their distaste and bias. A tuckable holster is a tool, just like any other, and may permit concealed carry when circumstances may not otherwise permit. It's much better to have your weapon with you at all times.

Many very respected holster makers have found the advantages presented by use of Kydex in belt clips and holster forms. With proper use, such as avoiding over-flexing when putting them on or taking them off, clips such as those on the MTAC will last just fine. The material is really quite strong and won't just break.

My rig

Here's my raven IWB tuckable. Very sweet. Check them out at ravenconcealment.com and for sales at the malabarfront.com. Obviously mine is for an attached tac light but they have all different rigs. Everything fits nicely and I carry a full size .40 cal G22. The great thing is this holster is able to do both OWB and IWB with a simple 3 min switch. It comes already as and OWB and you just pick up the IWB attachment for a little more. Great adaptability.
