So when everyone was talking about a tuckable holster they are talking about the shirt being tucked in and the pistol being in between the tucked shirt and the waist line, like the picture. If that is the case the pistol is not concealed at all and you would need a cover garment like an OWB or shoulder holster. More pictures of body types and sizes and concealed pistols are a big help.
Oh....no no no no. :shock: Now I see the confusion.

A "tuckable" IWB allows you to tuck the shirt between the gun/holster and the inside of the pants, thus concealing the gun and allowing the shirt to be tucked in.


Give me a minute and I will try to rustle up a picture.... :mrgreen:

OK, pictures.

The camera went dead before I could get couple pictures of a tuckable holster "in action" (i.e. me wearing it). After it charges up then maybe a couple more pix.

Comp-Tac CTAC tuckable holster:

Tuckable holster with tea towel representing the shirt tucked in. The belt clips would be hanging over the edge of the pants, but under the belt, and of course the pants would hide the holster.

OK, Comp-Tac CTAC in action. Note than in the 'tuckable' pix, the top of the gun, right along the barrel, is in line with the edge of the pants pocket.


Worn as regular IWB:

Couple links to try. I own holsters from both these places and they are not bulky at all and are tuckable.

Also...I would suggest a real high quality belt. i didn't use to believe it until I bought one...Holy Smoly!!! It made a huge difference.

Thanks for the links, the pics, and the clarification. I would like to see more pics of small guys actually concealing and not just covering it up. I feel like I just cover mine up, but I do not have a high quality holster b/c I was not sure what manor I was going to carry. Now I think the tuckable IWB is the way for me.

That leather piece is ALOT smaller than my Crossbreed, so I assume that I do not have the Supertuck...
