I have a .40 compact.  I love the gun but I just cant find a holster that I feel confident enough in to carry.  I just dont think I get it concealed well.  Instead I carry my little KelTec in a pocket holster.  Does anyone have any experience with a good inside the wasteband holster or another option for daily carry of the a UPS Compact?  I'm 6' 2" 200 lb and wear business casual every day.

thanks alot for any suggestions.

I have an open top Galco leather holster for my .40c, and it's been very good; I don't print when wearing it and it is easy to draw from, but is still secure.  I even took a good spill off a motorcycle while wearing it (actually skidded on the holster for a bit) and never lost the weapon, and the finish still looks nice.

I think Uncle-Mikes and Fobus make some injection-molded holsters for the USP compact, maybe check one of them out if you want good concealability (they always worked great for me anyways) -

I have the galco sky ops and love it

And with the way you dress a tuckable holster may be your best bet

Look into the Sparks VM-2 as someone suggested, and also check out The Answer from Tucker Gunleather.  The Answer is part leather, part kydex.  The kydex is made by comp-tac.

I have both for my p2000.  The Sparks is my favorite of the two.  I'm not a big guy and I conceal the P2K on my hip well with either holster, so long as I wear an appropriate shirt and don't bend down at the waist.

Try FIST. They have a nice variety of IWB holsters.

Most of our tactical trainers are sold on it. A brilliant combination of Kydex and leather. Not cheap, but what is?
