Just ordered Super tuck IWB and wanting to get some thoughts. - Page 3

Patches25 · February 10th, 2009, 02:17 AM

I like that. I was experimenting on where it fits more nicely on me and I'm thinking about 5-5:30 position.

I'll be posting some pics whenever I get it in.

Thanks for the pics.

My experience is that the SuperTuck is pretty comfortable against the skin. I've had good luck with no undershirt and the leather hasn't chaffed me at all even with heavy activity. I just ordered the J clips for mine as I tend to worry that the clips look like a Neon sign .. I know it's mostly paranoia, but I do know a LEO that also volunteers his time locally and am pretty sure his eyes pegged the clips right away .... nothing was said .. just a subtle smile and a nod. :-)

I'll tell you now to not expect to like the J-clips. That's my opinion of course, but I ordered them with my super tuck and haven't used them since they came in. I tried them, but all the weight goes to the pants as opposed to the belt.

I suggest perhaps making the clip the same color as the belt or getting a velcro lined belt and getting the v-clips (what I'm going to do eventually). Comp-tac also makes some c-clips that I think might work with the super tuck(not verified though) but they are like $17 and I don't know how well they work. Comp-Tac : Products

I'm fairly new to this myself. I am taking seriously the input that says invest in a belt. Just ordered a 5.11 trainer belt 1 1/2". $35 direct from 5.11, $30 from Cabelas but they're backordered for weeks. Cheaper than beginning with the Beltman (no offense to him, I hear his stuff is top notch). I've been carrying open in the field long enough to know that a poor belt will make life miserable for you after a couple of hours or less. And if you order a belt that's the same color as your clips, obviously you take one more step towards attracting less attention. Will keep you posted when it arrives and I wear it for a few days but I think it's worth assuming your life will improve w/the added investment.

HI BamaSteve, I am a bit concerned with the J-Clips being sort of heavy, but am hoping they will work with my PPS being fairly light ... but am assuming they won't be a great match for my Sig's. :-(

Have you already tried retrofitting a Supertuck with V-clips? I do have a Black belt which helps some, but for work .. Brown is mostly what I wear and I haven't seen Brown clips for a Supertuck, has anyone else seen these somewhere?

Oops .. should have followed the link before replying ... my bad. I think I'm order some brown clips!

I have not used any v-clips. But I do believe that crossbreed sells their own v-clips, you can email them about them (they will probably be cheaper than comp-tac). With the standard clips, you can try coloring them brown to match the belt, that's what I'm going to try in a couple days.
