I'm new to CCW and looking for a IWB holster that will work fine with pants, shorts and even my gym shorts that have elastic waist band. I am using a generation 3 G26 and plan to store an additional mag in my pocket. The only ones that I could find that fit my budget is the Bianchi Model 6D ATB which comes in a old western poop brown color.



any other suggestions? It will be used all season round

i paid a little over 40 bucks otd for my galco king tuck. very comfortable holster!

Have you looked in the want ads section of this forum. They have a number options in the $50.00 range or less. IWB holsters need to be stiff enough that the holster does not collapse and you can re-holster without great effort. The following link is just one example. http://glocktalk.com/classifieds/sho...holsters&cat=8 You will find a number of reasonable holsters in the want ad section.

For a holster to perform properly, you need a gunbelt. If you're not going to wear a belt, you'll need a belly band or waistpack. Even with a belt, single clip holsters generally don't perform well (easily dislodged, "roll" up and out of the waistband fairly easily. A proper holster is stable, and does not need to be adjusted or repositioned repeatedly while worn. My suggestion is to start wearing shorts with a belt, or use an internal belt.

a little over your price your price but worth it

use a belt with the j-hook

it is the most adjustable- thinest one

+1 on the gunbelt. You can spend $200 on a holster and it wont mean ***** without a good stiff belt to support/distribute the weight of the gun. As for the holster, check out shieldedholsters.com. Kurtis is a member here, and makes a good quality leather/kydex IWB holster that comes in at $50 shipped I believe. I have two of them, and I couldnt be happier. And you will have it in a week or so.

remora holster. i didn't think it would work till i bought one.

[grecco]

Check FIST Holsters, #1 kydex iwb,
i own several and I am very happy with them.

Belly band. Gym shorts wont hold a gun, holster or no.

[glocker56]

+1 on the gunbelt --my own personal experience is that Don Hume makes a great leather iwb holster w/metal clip under $50. http://www.gunnersalley.com/

[Captains1911]

no way the elastic band on gym shorts is going to support a G26. You will also most likely want a holster with some forward cant.

[Taurus851]

look into a don hume h715, you can get them for $30 shipped and they are leather. they also look nice IMO

I agree...I wear shorts w/o a belt and polo shirts 99% of the time. The Remora stays put without a belt.

I wear it in my gym shorts and it stays put.

I keep hearing about these Remora's.. I'm gonna have to try one. I've always fanny pack'd at the gym, but the Remora is interesting.

I was skeptical of the Remora holsters...so I ordered one....they work. I was surprised. For IWB carrying, I use the Remora. I've had mine for about a month or so.

Try this out. I love mine. You don't need a belt and I have worn it in gym shorts with my G36.

[C5A]

I have been using a Kholster IWB for my G22 and for my Colt 38 Spl. Comfortable and secure. The clips that hold it on the belt are spaced far apart and gives stability.

[Lior]

When I carried a G19 I used a C-Tac or Infidel, which are above the requested price.
Now that I am old timer, I use a generic Remora to carry a G17 or CZ75 SP01 Shadow with excellent results.

+1, 48$ at Midway. Blatant Crossbreed rip-off though.

[Jason D]

Galco Summer Comfort should come in at just under 50.
It's better than any floppy piece of crap.

[slickt0mmy]

Generally, as others have said, you're going to need a good gun belt for CCW. I, and many others here, use a Wilderness Tactical Instructor Belt.
The only IWB holster I'm aware of that apparently works great without a belt is the Remora. I cannot comment on it though as I've never tried one. However, USPS tells me that mine should be here on Monday I'll let you know what I think then.

[sr975j]

remora....only IWB or OWB holster ive seen that you can wear in gym shorts. i love mine

I like them a lot. The gun is snug in the holster too, i can hold the holster upside down with a fully loaded g27 and it wont fall out.

I keep it in the holster in my gym bag when i am working out. There is no way i could workout with a gun on me no matter how small it is.

And the Crossbreed was a blatant rip off of Comptac's M-Tac
and the M-Tac was a blatant ripoff of Tucker Gunleather's "The Answer"...

To my knowledge, Tuckers is the original version of this type of holster.
