And I also have read the thread about the nanovault which I'm considering. Also, thanks for the holster suggestions - I guess I'm just looking for something that takes up less surface area? The M-TAC and crossbreed varieties appear to be quite large. I'm pretty big on simple things like a nice tuck-able leather holster possibly that has great durability?
Comp-Tac makes some nice IWB holsters. I speak from personal experience when I say that their Two O'Clock is tuckable. It's not leather, but try not to hold that against it.

Can't speak as to whether their other IWBs are tuckable, but might be worth a look.
Is this holster or the infidel (that was referenced earlier) comfortable after extended use? What are they composed of? Kydex?
I actually sleep wearing an all kydex holster quite often (lumpy on that side
)and I wear Kydex around the house, and a Kydex on my Taurus PT709 when I wear it as a BUG (Although I own a leather/kydex Kholster for it too) Kydex is more comfortable than sweaty leather in Summer (Baby powder helps between you and sweaty leather in Summer).
The Desantis Tuck This 2 doesn't seem to get uncomfortable as it's nylon, but I haven't had issues with the gun itself getting sweat on the gun itself itself. I don't recommend "most" nylon holsters, but I like this one, but They also have the SOF Tuk in leather. The padding in the Desantis ones is good for comfort. Kydex is comfortable too.
Comptac holsters has several styles, like the

Comfort defined : There are different aspects of "comfort" Just a few are:
1) Does it get hot and sticky/itchy with sweat in summer
2) is it HARD (Kydex) so it hurts my hip bone if I sleep in it on that side (Ok most people don't)
3) does it "slide around out of position" to an "uncomfortable place on my body"
4) Does the huge stiff leather backing on hybrid holsters need "breaking in" and get "comfortable later"5) Does the leather backing need to be trimmed so I can sit down or so it doesn't jab into my side when I bend.
You may try some
(If you put location in Profile, people may let you try several) and later have a drawer full like we do
That's partly why I recommend a Tuck This 2 (cheap) while you try others, but I bought all the others first and wear Tuck This 2 all the time, so it may be a good "first" buy while you see if there's anything YOU like better.
I mean
I could recommend a Tucker Gunleather THE Answer, $125 but
I'm not going to recommend a $150.00 holster and later you decide a $25.00 Tuck This 2 is what you want . (Like I did)

LATER you can always get "The Answer" from Tucker Gunleather, or a "Comfort Carry" by Rob Durham (uses CompTac's clips, including V-Clip)

You may find those to be stiff, sweaty/itchy and then start wearing the Tuck This 2, like I did, so start cheaper and BORROW some expensive ones if you want, or try before you buy if you can and if not, ask people's opinions on certain ones that interest you.
I just tuck a tiny bit in at the holster and "blouse" the rest, but I like your "fold" idea, I'll switch to that way.
I don't wear a coat to church. Other CHLs at church (including a retired LEO from Humble P.D.) always had to ask if I was armed, I don't like much showing on my belt. (they got tired of asking and know I always am now)
