It appears that there are three basic methods of wearing an IWB holster: the basic clip to the pants, the belt loop and the "J" hook. Each, I'm sure, has its advantages. But to me, it looks like a "J" hook would be the best compromise between being discreet and secure/stable. What do y'all prefer and why?

I've got a Milt Sparks summer special w/belt loops. I like it better than the Galco I have with a belt clip, because on a GOOD gunbelt, the curve of the belt won't exactly fit the flat part of the clip. That means that sometimes the belt clip will pop off the belt. I've been walking along and suddenly felt my S&W Mod 60 shift to the front as the clip popped off. Not a good thing in the middle of the mall! In addition, I find that the holsters w/clips don't hold the pistol at the angle I prefer--they tend to be almost exactly vertical, not with a forward cant like the belt-looped holsters do. |
Roger that. Spring steel clips are bad mojo. Use them long enough and you'll end up drawing a gun AND a holster when you need it. If you dont want straps, be sure to get the J-hook style clip. |
| Galco tuckable with J hook. It's very secure when drawing, but during the day (walking, driving, sitting, etc.) it can wiggle around alittle. And I find myself having to adjust its position every so often. I just make it look like I'm pulling my pants up. ht |
