Vedder Lighttuck

[burrhead]

I'm thinking of getting one of these holsters for a S&W Shield. I'm mostly interested in using it as a tuckable. Anybody have one and formed an opinion?

I don't have any experience with that holster and had not heard of them. Did he used to be with Pearl Jam?

Humor aside, I'm always suspect of kydex clips for both strength and will they maintain a grip on the belt so you don't draw your holster with your gun. With a thick leather belt it would probably be fine. With a thin Instructor type belt it may be a problem. I don't know, just something to be aware of.

Yes, I never use just "slide-on" clips for holsters. On this particular model the clip encircles the belt so the holster won't come out with the gun using their optional polymer clips

I am curious about the strength of the clip. I use a JM Custom OWB for my main carry, a G21, and it's bomb proof.

I've got to admit, I don't see that in the clip pictured, unless there is another option I don't see.

This. It's hard to find on their site. It's in FAQ for some reason.

i have had a lighttuck for a couple of years now and i really like it.I did break a clip once,but that was my fault because i was pulling out too far when I was taking the holster out.I emailed vedder and they sent a free replacement.I would absolutely recomend vedder holsters and no I dont wrk there.I just really like mine.

Thanks for the clarification. That looks more secure.

I just bought one a week ago for my HK P2000.

So far I like it, it's well made and pretty comfortable for what it is. I like the adjust-ability of the cant. The clip is seriously robust and is "not easy" to get on, but it stays put.

I use this type holster for a "Walmart" run, not all day wear, but it still is pretty comfortable. I'm thinking of ordering another one for my P30L.
