In The Waistband (IWB) Holster for Glock 26

Here are a couple of emails I've received this week. Several of my customers have ordered two or more holsters from me and I've never been asked for a refund!

"Hey Top! Just a little note to say thank you once again. The holster is sooo comfortable, I have been wearing IWB for some time but never experienced this level of comfort. Well I have an early shift in the AM so Stay Safe and keep making some of the best holsters ever worn. Thank you, Joe."


Loving the holster......I posted a thread asking for help on posting a review then we got hit by severe storms causing enough damage to keep us buried for months. I will get you some face time this weekend, I am more than satisfied. Couldn't imagine being without it. Thanks again.


I've been making and wearing IWB holsters for several years now.  I prefer the IWB holster for these reasons:


#1 They are discreet.  I routinely wear my holster while wearing shorts and a t-shirt and it cannot be seen.  When time comes for me to wear business or business casual clothing I am able to tuck my shirt in over the gun and the gun absolutely disappears.

#2 They are secure.  Between the precisely molded kydex and the tension placed on the weapon by the belt I have never had an occasion to worry about the security of my Glock.  When I get out of my truck I don't have to reach for my pistol to ensure that it is secure.  Additionally and more importantly the weapon is held in the same position to facilitate a smooth draw.

#3 They are comfortable.  The bottom line is... if a holster isn't comfortable it will be left behind on occasion.  I believe that a properly licensed individual should carry their pistol whenever and wherever they may do so legally.

#4 They are quick.  Because the pistol is held securely it is always in the same place.  I hand fit each holster I make to ensure that they allow a full firing grip while the pistol is still in the holster.


When I make a holster for someone else I cut the horse hide larger than what you've seen on my own personal holster.  A holster is a very personal piece of equipment and one size may not fit all.  Additionally having the extra hide allows the owner to drill additional holes to accommodate different clips or to move the clips to allow for different trousers with different belt loops.

Please send any questions you might have to me at TopsBlades@gmail.com.  Currently I am making holsters for the 1911, Glock 9/40/357, Springfield XD and EMPs, and Kahr pistols.  I am adding to this list, please send me an email with questions.

Here are a few pictures of the rig I am currently carrying.  I have taken it to the shop on several occasions to trim a little horse hide here and grind a little kydex there.  I believe that less is more when it comes to holsters.
 

I will post some holsters for sale later today.  I have holsters available for the Glock, 1911, Kahr P/PM9 and Kahr P/PM45.
