ITP Holsters - Can They Work For Me?

Inside the waistband holsters are generally referred to as IWB holsters as they are designed to ride inside the waistband.

IWB holsters can mount to the belt via a number of methods including a steel clip, leather snap straps, kydex clips, or even velcro. IWB holsters also provide a number of various carrying positions inside the belt. Those positions include small of the back carry, cross draw, behind the hip, or directly on the strongside.

For best concealment results, stick with smaller to mid sized weapons with IWB carry. Larger weapons such as a Beretta 92 or Glock 21 are difficult to conceal due the their size and width. Single action, single stack sidearms such as the Colt 1911 series may be as long barrel-wise as a full size pistol, but the reduced single stack width makes that type of weapon easier to hide.

Some IWB designs also come with added features that are designed to increase their usefulness or functionality. Some of those features include:

Holster Cants - A cant refers to the angle that the holster rides on the hip or body. Some IWB holsters have a zero cant and ride straight up and down on the waist, while others have a forward cant ride. Typically, the forward cant ride usually rides at 15 degrees.

Body shield (also called a sweat guard) - These are special flaps of leather or kydex that serve to protect the user from the abrasive sides of the pistol. The device "shields" the owner so the pistol doesn't physically touch the shooter.

Thumbreak or retention strap - The term refers to a strap or retention device of some sort that keeps the weapon seated in the holster until it's ready to be drawn. Most retention straps use a snap or other device to release the retention so the weapon can be drawn.

Tension screw - This refers to a screw or set of screw adjustments that allow the draw tension to be adjusted. The tension screw or screws give the shooter the ability to tighten or loosen the tension of the draw.

If you are still trying to find a good concealed carry holster for your weapon, you might want to try an IWB holster as it can be an excellent option.
