New In The Waistband Holster Design

[Terry Cawyer]

Like many of my fellow "gun fanatics", I always carry. That is to say, I never leave the house without being armed. My neighborhood had become more unsafe than when I moved here some years back.
Therefore, always carrying, I have come up with a unique iwb holster that allows for comfortable concealed carry all the time. I ususally wear shirts untucked but this design allows for tucking in of the shirt.

I have designed and produce an in the waistband holster with an adjustable, sturdy metal clip that has a leather upper to fit between you and your weapon. You can tuck your shirt in between the clip and your pants waistband if you wish. I do not believe there is any design out there like it.

The holster is ambidextrous, as it can be worn with the weapon in either direction. I make small, medium, and large sizes. The holster is so comfortable that you really can forget you are carrying. The leather upper completely shields the grip and end of the slide from contact with your
skin. This allows for extreme comfort and no rust.

The clip, which pivots about 30 degrees either way allows the shirt to be tucked in and when bloused a bit hides the weapon profile.

I make a great Little wallet pocket holster for the p32, but prefer to carry mine in the iwb holster in sob position.

In the summertime, when it is hot and I wear elastic shorts, the p32 in the iwb holster is just right when it would be otherwise cumbersome to carry anything larger.

These holsters are made of top of the line 7/8 oz leather with a sturdy metal clip that locks over your belt. it can be worn on the waistband and under the belt if you please. It can be rocked back or forward with the adjustable clip for comfort, such as seating in a movie, or in the car.

All my customers have been extremely pleased. For prices and pics, e-mail me at [email protected] . My web sight is not quite ready so I will individually email pics and prices upon request.

I produce a pancake holster that allows me to carry my favorite way, on the hip. With the above described iwb holster, I find the gun as easy to reach as on the hip, and, of course, it is more concealable.

Jack Fusilier has one of my pancake holsters, and has said he enjoys wearing it. I know we all would prefer to carry on the hip, but simply can't always. I like the ability to remove my iwb holster and weapon to put under the seat when going in a forbidden zone.

This holster stays put and is the most comfortable iwb holster I have ever worn. I find few that allow the shirt to be tucked in.

My work is 100% guaranteed and handmade in my own shop. I would love to handmake your next holster.

Sincerely,

New IWB holster design info

Dear MH and Dig Me,

I am really proud of my iwb design. As mentioned, it allows for you to carry the weapon in either direction, making it ambidextrous. You can use the same holster for left, right, or small of the back carry and have the butt facing in the direction you prefer.

My favorite carry weapon is a Llama Mini Max double stack compact .45. The holster for it is not pictured. It is just a little larger than the P11 holster, particularly the leather upper. It is very close in size to the P11 holster. The price would be similar, as would one for your Glock.

My brother, Pat, carries his P-11 everyday at work, usually in a pancake holster on his hip, sometimes in the iwb holster. When he is not working building cabinets, he wears the iwb holster and swears by it. He is my test subject, and because of the active work he does, really puts my holsters through the wringer. His iwb holster for his P11 is my first prototype, and has been modified several times until we came to a final design both comfortable, and utilitarian.

The pancake holster is my real favorite, because it is high rise and really snugs up to your waist. Jack Fusilier has one and says he loves to carry it and has not seen a better one. It has four belt slots, and can be worn cross draw, canted or straight up. With a P11 in the canted position, only about 1 1/4" is below the belt. You need a good sturdy leather gun belt for the most comfortable carry, something not absolutely necessary for the iwb design.

I make a wallet holster for the P32 which is made rough side out, sanded to a nice suede finish that does not move in your pocket. I fill the void with 6 or 7 layers of leather to conform to the thickness of the slide so there is no printing. I even round over the corner so it looks like a worn in wallet. I have one for myself, but find I prefer the same iwb design to carry it as a back up usually in sob position. I often forget I have that one on when undressing, and forget to put it away when I put my other gun away. It is so comfortable as to be not noticeable. I have asked LEO's at the range to make me for concealed weapons, and they have only found the P32 in the sob after a good pat down. Sometimes not even then! I guess those with a slighter physical frame than mine, I'm a big boy, might not hide it so well.

I have even made a holster that hangs around your neck with a loop of lace for the P-32, just to see if it would work. I have worn that a few times riding bikes in gym shorts. With a loose t shirt you really can't see it. I would use the same basic design except with the rough side out suede, and a little extra leather to fit the bottom of the front pocket for a front pocket holster. I have never made one because I don't enjoy carrying in my front pocket. Just my personal preference.

Thanks for the pics. I was having a hard time picturing the holster just based on the description.
