I have a KelTec P-11 I use for CCW here in Florida, where it's hot most of the year. I like to CCW under loose "Hawaiian" type shirts. After I installed this ArmaLaser on my P-11, it wouldn't fit any of my other holsters anymore. So I used my knowledge of fiberglass construction to create this unique pistol holster.
You just slip it over your belt, the "hook" keeps it in place when drawing. It's smooth and hard "plastic" so your shirt tail slides right over it, never riding up. When sitting, the smooth plastic allows the holster to just slide down your leg, that is, it doesn't dig in and try to come off your belt.
The top of the pistol rides right at, not above, the belt line. This means that the gun never pokes or jabs you, even when sitting down or driving. I wear it cross draw / left side at between 9 and 11 Oclock. This means the car seat belt does not interfere with it. When driving, it hangs down by the car door. No jabbing, binding or poking.
The concealment principle behind the maroon Krylon spray paint job is that it doesn't say "PISTOL" like black would. The wide bottom of the hoslster, due to the installed laser, makes the bottom inch of the holster look like an accessory holder for a tech gadget. So even if your shirt lifts up (when reaching up a shelf in a store, say), it doesn't say "GUN" it says "geek gadget."
I never was comfortable with IWB, I like the "feel" of this much better. You can just forget it's there. It will only work with a fairly short pistol though. It's bottom is about an inch short of most of my shirt tails. Bigger pistols might show below the shirt.
If anybody is interested, I'll tell you how I made this holster. I've made heavy duty knife sheaths the same way.
