Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a holster 'tuckable' for concealed carry in dress clothes?

A tuckable holster has a specific design feature: a gap between the holster body and its attachment clips or loops. This space allows your shirt to be tucked in behind the holster, effectively concealing the firearm's grip.

What type of firearm is best for concealed carry in dress clothes?

For concealed carry in dress clothes, it's generally recommended to use smaller, slimmer firearms. Single-stack pistols with shorter grips are easier to conceal than larger, double-stack handguns, minimizing printing through your clothing.

How can I improve deep concealment when wearing a tucked-in shirt?

To improve deep concealment, look for holsters with a 'wing' or 'claw' that presses the grip closer to your body. Additionally, consider using specialized clips that attach directly to your pants, with a belt worn over them, for a more streamlined profile.

Are all Inside the Waistband (IWB) holsters tuckable?

No, not all Inside the Waistband (IWB) holsters are tuckable. The defining characteristic of a tuckable holster is the presence of a gap or space that allows your shirt to be tucked behind the holster body and its attachment mechanism.
