Iwb holster what is

Without a doubt the best IWB holster you can buy. I've tried them all and always end up with crossbreed. I own 3 of them for 3 different handguns. They are on the more expensive side but well worth the money.

You won't regret purchasing one or multiple holsters. They fit like a glove are beyond comfortable. You'll literally forget you're wearing it. A concealed carry holster is preferred by shooters who want to hide the fact that they are carrying a firearm. Usually a SOB holster is designed so that the barrel runs parallel to the belt, which allows the grip to be positioned to allow the wearer to draw the firearm.

Belt slide holsters are most popular for open carry and generally are more comfortable than IWB holsters. They are often easier to draw from and to securely re-holster. Kydex is a rigid plastic that a holster maker can heat and mold to fit all the frame details of your particular handgun.

There are two popular types of IWB made from Kydex, one that is more minimalist in nature is a Kydex shell with a strong metal clip that goes over your waistband and belt. Other IWB holsters have a large piece of leather or suede that actually lays against your skin to create a more comfortable fit. The benefit of Kydex IWB is that it feels secure and sturdy. One potential downside may be the rigid holster is a bit uncomfortable.

Leather is another common material for inside the waistband holsters. Leather holsters and the leather part of the holster that creates a barrier between the holster and your skin will break in with wear, creating an almost custom fit to your particular body type that will make the holster more comfortable. Some wearers do experience sweatiness from leather holsters, especially in really hot locales. If the leather is pliable and not rigid, it can be difficult to reholster your firearm because the opening will close up once the firearm is removed.

Nylon holsters are generally a less expensive option. There are some soft side holsters that have no clip - they are made of a material that grips, depending on friction to keep the holster in place. These holsters are not a good choice with loose clothing - you'll need a tighter waistband or belt for this type of holster. Backpack Holsters. Chest Holsters. Hunting Holsters. Tactical Holsters.
