Question Tuckable or not?

I've been trying to decide whether to get a tuckable holster or not.
I live in Memphis so the wheather varies from pretty cold (where a cover garment can be used) to very hot and humid (where the thought of even wearing a Tshirt under my office button-up makes me sweat.

So my question is: Do most folks get a tuckable holster and use it untucked in the off-chance they might have to tuck, or do you use a tuckable holster only when you need it?

Thanks,

Lep

I have settled on the CrossBreed SuperTuck, even when I weak my shirts un-tucked (most of the time).

I use a Tuckable and Tuck

Most of the time when I have to stay concealed I use a SmartCarry instead of a tuckable

You don't have to tuck because it's "tuckable".
Right now I have an M-TAC (great holster), not tucked; I have a leather jacket to cover it.
However I like to have the option.

Same here. I just recently got it, but so far I'm liking it.

Crossbreed Supertuck, purchased because, among other things, I have the option to tuck, but don't have to. The few times I've had to wear it tucked, it worked beautifully.

I always wear a "tuckable" IWB holster. Either my Dakota Defender or an MTAC. Sometimes I tuck and sometimes I dont but I want the option.

Other than a rig I use for my .44 magnum when hunting all my carry holsters are tuckable type. I use the tuckable feature when it is required. Why not have the option.

if you only have 1 holster, make it tuckable (like supertuck or MTAC), but if you have a number of holsters, you can more closely tailor them to your daily needs.
