But after you get it on, it proves to be remarkably comfortable and secure. And stable. And simply amazing for all-day carry comfort.<\/p>\n<p>Two steel belt clips hook on to your gun belt, distributing the weight of your carry gun across the leather backer. A form-fitting plastic carrier, custom fit to your gun, receives your gun with a sure &#8220;thwack&#8221; as the plastic form bends over and then into the crevices of your gun. Much of the retention occurs via plastic around your gun&#8217;s trigger guard (and other places) and your gun belt does its part too.<\/p>\n<p>After installed, you can pull your shirt over your gun and holster and tuck it in, although I virtually never do this, preferring instead for a covering garment to simply drape over the gun and holster.<\/p>\n<p>SuperTuck is tuckable &#8211; as the name implies &#8211; but its strength is its unbelievable comfort. The most difficult aspect of this holster is actually installing it on your person. Don&#8217;t worry though. You&#8217;ll master it in minutes and wear it for hours. Retail: $69.75.<\/p>\n<h2>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.multiholsters.com\/product-category\/inside-the-waistband-holsters\/\" campaign=\"IWBMultiHolsters\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Multi-Holsters IWB<\/a><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_86602\" style=\"width: 359px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gastatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MultiHolsters.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"top-five-inside-the-waistband-holsters\" title=\"Top Five Inside-the-Waistband Holsters\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86602\" title=\"Top Five Inside-the-Waistband Holsters\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-86602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MultiHolsters-349x300.jpg\" alt=\"Top Five Inside-the-Waistband Holsters\" width=\"349\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MultiHolsters-349x300.jpg 349w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MultiHolsters-150x129.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MultiHolsters-768x660.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MultiHolsters-1024x881.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MultiHolsters.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 349px) 100vw, 349px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-86602\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Multi-Holsters&#8217; IWB sells for $59.95.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an all-plastic holster built on the premise of simple equals good. And good it is. Multi-Holsters has more than one IWB holster model and all them pretty much share the same attributes: perfect fit, strong clip to grab your gun belt and easy in and out of your waistband.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being made from strong &#8211; and therefore hard &#8211; plastic, these holsters aren&#8217;t uncomfortable. Worn between 3 o&#8217;clock and 5 o&#8217;clock (locations on the waist for righties) the holster is well-hidden by a covering garment but puts your gun&#8217;s stock in a perfect position for a fast draw.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t wear your gun all day but take it on and off when running errands or other duties around house or town, the Multi-Holsters IWB makes it easy. This is the holster you choose when you prefer convenience over all-day comfort for your medium-sized pistol.

This seemingly backwards leather design allows for terrific retention of whatever gun you order it for while keeping the rig stable as you wear it with a slight forward cant.<\/p>\n<p>The mouth of the holster stays open for re-holstering via a metal lining and the leather belt loops go around your gun belt and snap in place. There are two loops because you&#8217;re supposed to put a pants belt loop between them; this helps keep the Royal Guard from sliding fore or aft.<\/p>\n<p>Due to its durability and fantastic comfort, not to mention good looks, Galco&#8217;s Royal Guard is a good holster for the gun you&#8217;ll never get rid of.

I&#8217;ve also used a Klipt to carry a Ruger LC9 and it&#8217;s the same story. Simple, thin, tough and easy on\/off. There&#8217;s nothing to adjust or change on the Klipt &#8211; no screws to tighten. Just insert your gun and clip it on your gun belt.<\/p>\n<p>To get it off, just pull the belt clip away enough so that it clears the bottom of your belt. Do this 1,000 more times &#8211; the Klipt can handle it and keep hanging on.<\/p>\n<p>The other significant benefit to the Klipt is its weight &#8211; or lack thereof. If you&#8217;re into saving fractions of ounces in your concealed carry rig, Klipt will help you lighten up.

Like the Royal Guard, it&#8217;s made from horsehide, rough-side-out. Unlike the Royal Guard, the Public Secret carries guns in a straight drop and attaches to your gun belt via one of the strongest J-clips I&#8217;ve ever experienced.<\/p>\n<p>Offering an excellent sweat shield and a stitched-in sight track, the Public Secret takes care of you and your gun. A reinforced holster mouth allows for one-handed re-holstering and the smooth leather lining offers great retention and a smooth draw.<\/p>\n<p>Best for subcompact guns, the Public Secret makes appendix carry a breeze, although you can wear it in other locations on your waist too. Looking at the Public Secret makes you wonder if it&#8217;s just too thick for the comfortable concealed carry of a gun. Wearing the Public Secret proves it&#8217;s not.
