I have a couple of TT Gunleather Slim XC holsters that I like, but don't care for IWB anymore. I carry OWB most of the time in a Highnoon Slide Guard with a baggy shirt.
Retired and Loving It!!

Lots of good recommendations. IME the Milt Sparks Nexus and Criterion holsters have been the best IWBs I've used. If you know anyone who has them, try them and see which you like best. There is a waiting pariod and they are more expensive than some of the recommendations given, but well worth the money and the time.
I have a definite preference for the Criterion as my EDCs are 1911s and BHP, so they fit very well, are comfortable and make the pistols easy to carry all day, even for the occasional all steel Gm.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty of give me death! P. Henry

Another Broomeland Gunleather advocate. Many great holster makers today, might be able to find one as good as a Gary Broomeland product......but you won't find one that is better in my view. Example.......... I carried a 1911 Commander for 20 yrs. in the Florida heat in an IWB Cheeta model, then in a fit of dumb fuquery tried to bend the retaining clip to fit a new riggers belt, and promptly broke the steel clip. Called Broomeland , and Gary answered, confessed to the destruction, he said" send it to me, I'll see what I can do". Bout a week later I get a call on a Sunday, it's Gary..........says it is fixed, "no charge", This s a holster that is 20yrs. old at least. Few days later I get the holster back w/note that he also refinished it!!! So I stuff the Commander in it and turn it upside down, give it a few shakes and the pistol sticks right there, won't fall out!!!!. On the draw stroke there is an audible click when the pistol releases, and this is a slim leather IWB holster. I also ordered the Def Con OWB, and another IWB, as I said many great leather smiths today, but you will br hardpressed to find one better than Broomeland Gunleather...............buntingmiester

Well, much thanks - to well-experienced folks. We may have info overload, but that is way better than the previous ignorance. Now we will get it done.

Just got an Alien Gear cloak tuck 3.0 for my 9mm shield. So far it is good. Not sure long term though since I just got it.

Bianchi 100 Professional IWB I use this on a daily basis, easy on easy off, quick draw and secure enough to go quad riding and not worry about it falling out. ![[Linked Image]](https://media.midwayusa.com/productimages/880x660/Primary/197/197503.jpg) That's a real gun. 1911 should be a 45 ACP
