I had the Sparks Summer Special and the Galco equivalent. Both were alright but as mentioned...bulky. That's the nice thing about the Ritchie Hideaways...you barely know they're there.
I have never liked IWB holsters. My larger handguns ride in an OWB holsters covers with a loose shirt (open carry is allowed in my state). For a deeper concealment, I usually have S&W J-frame in a pocket or ankle (mostly when driving) holsters.
This said, I would like to find a comfortable tuckable IWB holster for a Glock 19. Plan to carry at 4 o'clock, forward cant, high ride. Must not collapse when gun is drawn and allow for a reasonably easy rehosltering.
Any recommendation? Personal experience is always a big +.
My question is for those of you who by choice or local rule feel the need to carry "tuckable" IWB holsters, do you often use the aforementioned feature?? Seems as in a lot of environments an untucked shirt is sartorially accepted (at least around here it is).
Or do you just use the holster and throw on a shirt/jacket/etc and that be that??
If you are so inclined to carry a firearm in the "tucked" mode, how often do you practice bringing the weapon up to presentation? Although this is not rocket science, it does require some technique and facing up to a confrontation is NOT the best time to begin working on the aforementioned method of drawing the weapon.
Anyone???
I consider carrying "tucked" a step up from being unarmed or having to leave your gun in the car. You won't be winning any quickdraw competitions and will certainly be at a disadvantage if someone "has the drop on you", but with practice it can be done and some people become quite adept at it. And as Simon1 says, I would not be standing still while fumbling with my garments, of course you should never be standing still in a violent encounter anyways.

I have several Sparks holsters, to include the Summer special. I find the Summer special a bit bulky compared to my Com Tac holsters.

I'll stick to old school leather for IWB.
Ive always had a problem finding the perfect IWB holster. Im 6'1 145 so its hard for me not to print a Glock 19. But that is what i carried for years until recently switching to a Shield for my EDC. I tried to carry 4 oclock with everything from a Comp tac to an Alien gear with no results other than complete ****.
I moved to wearing my gun apendix style in a Gcode Incog about two years ago and have never looked back. I carry everday im not working with comfort. And even my glock 17 hides well. View attachment 685790
