Just got my IWB Versa-max holster by Milt Sparks in teh mail today for my 3" Kimber. I guess I'm just not used to the feel yet. It makes all my jeans too tight and I really can't tell that much of a difference in printing that a OWB holster with a loose shirt. Does anyone carry IWB? Any tips, tricks on the best way to carry a 3"1911 wearing jeans and a dress shirt untucked?

I carry either an HK USPc or Sig 229 IWB with the same holster.

Best advice I can give you is buy your pants about +1" bigger than your normal (sans holster) waist size and get a solid belt to secure the holster.

1-2 inches bigger on the pants.

It feels wierd now, but you will get used to it. I carry mine IWB in a t-shirt. I have a Tucker Gunleather tho.

Were you snaps (buttons) hard as hell to snap. I have to put it down flat on the table and force them to get them to button

Yes and no. I have the 1.5" loops for the HK and 1.25" loops for the Sig. Sig holster is harder to snap if I have a thicker belt. HK holster snaps easily.

They are one-way snaps you sorta have to look for the dimple, and then place it under the rim of the snap and rotate it til it snaps!

There's a spot just behind your right hip where everything comes together and just fits.

You havent found it yet.

You either have it too close to your hip or too far away.

I had the same problem at first but now I can strap on a full size 1911 and forget its there.
