I use a Tucker Answer with a 1911, which I tuck quite often in the summer. For me, tuckable holsters work, as long as I can wear my shirt bloused around the waist. Weather permitting, I wear a covering garment instead.
 
I use a tuckable. Mainly just in the summer. I use the same one for my BHP and Makarov...but I don't really care for it....so I won't mention it. I have a HBE Tuckable that I really like.
 
All of my holsters are tuckable. I don't always use the feature but I like having the option.
Tucker Answer for my Colt Delta...most comfortable holster I've ever worn.
2 Desantis holsters I modified to tuckable for a small 9mm and a Bersa .380.
CompTac Shirt-Tucker for my G29...I'm not really happy with this one, but it will do until I find a better one.
 
I recently purchased a Blade Tech Ultimate Concealment Holster for my Glock 19 and have been very pleased with it. It is very stable and the combination of the kydex and the tennifer finish on the Glock means virtually no worries with sweat. I also very rarely tuck but still like having this option if needed. I was initially leary of kydex , but now have 2 holsters of this material and am slowly but surely becoming converted.

Like a couple others have mentioned I use a Tucker Gunleather tuckable holster for my SIG P228. Mine is the Texas Heritage:

I like the adjustability of the clips (for both cant and height) to get it in just the right position. It is comfortable for all day carry, which is often 12-15 hours for me.

The summers can be intensely hot here in eastern NC, so I often go without a suit coat or blazer. The Texas Heritage conceals my SIG nicely under a tucked dress shirt.
 
I have a comp tac that needed some modification to make it perfect. The first and foremost modification was to take the clear plastic from a blister package, cut it to the same profile as the leather tabs with holes cut to line up with the screws. Once this piece of plastic was placed alongside the leather and screwed back together, the leather never kinked again. The second thing I did was to cut the excess material off of the kydex clips so that there's less stuff jabbing me in the butt. Finally I've put a modified "J" clip on the rear facing side. The modification is mostly just cutting the part that wraps back down and around the belt away. This leaves a very small hook that essentially keeps the holster from sliding down. Thus far the holster has never needed any help staying down. The front clip is a C clip and I've found that it works to perfection. Something not yet mentioned is that the belt clips as well as the holsters profile get pretty covered when you pull up a little on the shirt all the way around the waistline. I've found that having that little slack covers both clips well enough that they don't get noticed. One thing to note is that you must take care when sitting down in an office chair because it's possible to hit the butt of the gun on an armrest!
 
FanofJohn:
Your Blade Tech looks similar to my Shirt-tucker with the clip offest to beside the gun...seemingly a good choice for a Glock.
The reason I'm not happy with mine is that even with a good gun belt the holster tends to slip downward...that is it increases the cant as I move around.

Have you ever had that problem with yours?
 
I think you are going to have difficulty tucking a Glock. Whatever holster you go with will need to be very, very thin or you get a noticeable bulge where the weapon is tucked. I've carried a Glock 26 in a Galco tuckable holster and no one has commented on it; but it didn't look very natural.

If you are going to carry in a tuckable holster, it helps to have a slim profile handgun and a slim holster. I've also carried a Hi-Power in a VM-2 and it is a substantial improvement over the Glock.
