I have heard a couple of good reviews on the Remoras.
So tell me something, without a clip what holds them in place? They look more like a pocket holster then a IWB. Also, the one in your picture has a standard sweat shield?
I plan to do some more research when I get off work so I may answer my own questions.
Thanks again!
Not sure I can add much more than 'snatchel' other than I wouldn't call it "tacky" - it's not like scotch tape, more like a non-skid material possibly used on a car dashboard catch-all. It holds / adheres to your skin or clothing where placed and pretty much stays there. It does require the assistance of a waistband to be affective - you can't use it buck naked without a belt or something to hold in place. If I do a lot of stooping and bending I may have to readjust, but otherwise, it stays where put - and that can be from appendix to 6 O'clock and anywhere in between. It will work as a pocket holster also. In either use the pistol will not bring the Remora with it when drawing. They also make it with a reinforced top to make reholstering easier, but will add to the bulk for CC. I'm looking for day long comfort, not quickdraw practice all day, although draw is quite easy reholstering isn't like an OWB

My 4ART has the standard sweat shield which fully covers the complete slide to the thumb 'crotch' on the grip and about 3/16" above the slide and folds over the end a mite to deflect rolling sweat. You can wash with a mild detergent (gets a bit yukky after awhile) and doesn't absorb moisture. After washing or long daily use I stick a toilet roll core in it to allow it to dry out internally. Reholstering from the 3-4 O'clock position is easy using index finger of off hand to open top and nose the pistol in and done. I wipe my CC down daily with silicone cloth regardless of SS or Blue. As stated in earlier post, when it comes to a sweat shield, I don't believe you can beat a Remora. And believe me, before I bought one I was a big doubter it would be worth spit - happy to report I was dead wrong. My new full sweat shield 4ART and 10ART have shipped and I expect to get them before weeks end.

My best all round holster is the DeSantis 106 Sof-Tuck w/adjustable cant, but summer time Texas it's now the Remora. As 'snatchel' said you can't get much better holster than a Remora for the price.

Re: IWB recommendation?

When it comes to Texas summer and holster with effective sweat shield, I cannot say enough good things about my Remora 4ART w/standard Sweat Shield. It is shared and effectively shields the slide for my Taurus PT709, PT740 and PT140MilPro. I've had it for about five months and have just ordered another 4ART with full seat shield (covers entire backside of pistol - slide & grip) and same for model 10ART for my PT24/7 and SW40VE Sigma to share - full sweat sheild not because standard isn't adequate, but to keep all pistol surfaces completely away from my sweaty body. The Remora's are washable and have a lifetime warranty. It also stays in place with just my skivvies waist band, so works well with casual clothing with elastic or drawstring. Also like the ease of removal when entering areas where no handgun allowed.
