You would be quite surprised at how quickly a pistol can be retrieved from an IWB holster with a bit of practice (I know I was).Abraham wrote:Doesn't IWB preclude fast access?
Don't you have to grab your cover garment (whatever it may be) and then pull it out of your waistband and over your carry piece so you may then access it?
If I've explained it accurately, carrying in a fanny pack is about the equivalent in speedy access, ah, alright, not so speedy access...
I sometimes carry in a fanny pack that doesn't look like a typical design, in fact, it looks like it carries binoculars or some other optical or even medical gear. It's designed so if I have to access my pistol I can have it out "relatively" fast, but not nearly as fast as when it's in my OWB synthetic material holster.
So, after all this verbiage, what I would like to know is what advantage is there using IWB vs. all the other ways to carry?
Thanks!

Re: Trying IWB carry
I've been looking at that particular Galco, and am thinking it will be my winter (2 weeks of light jacket) weather holster.

Re: Trying IWB carry
I'm carrying a Para CCO 3.5" 1911 in a Crossbreed supertuck, and it is almost strange how comfortable it is. The first day I went out with a CCW, I carried my XD in a cheap right handed OWB clip on holster carried IWB on the left side, and it was unbelievably uncomfortable. The right holster will make a world of difference.
I think for my next carry weapon, I am going to buy the comp-tac, for the fact that it has the interchangeable kydex bodies, and because it ships from Houston within a few days of ordering it, vs 4or so weeks it took to get the crossbreed.
