IWB Holsters
Kydex IWB Holsters — Inside the Waistband Carry
Inside the waistband carry is the gold standard for concealed carry, and Kydex is the material that makes it work. Our IWB holsters tuck between your waistband and body, keeping your firearm secure, accessible, and completely hidden under a t-shirt or button-down. Each holster is custom-molded to your exact firearm model with precision retention that locks your gun in place with an audible click.
Available with adjustable cant, ride height, and optional concealment wings or claws, our IWB holsters are built for the way real people carry every day — from morning commute to late-night errands.
The Complete Guide to IWB Concealed Carry
IWB carry works by positioning your firearm inside your pants, typically at the 3 o’clock, 4 o’clock, or appendix position. The advantage is simple: your waistband and cover garment do the work of concealment, so you don’t need bulky outer layers or specialized clothing. With the right holster and belt combination, even full-size pistols can disappear under a casual shirt.
What separates a good IWB holster from a great one comes down to three things: retention, comfort, and concealment. Our Kydex IWB holsters address all three. Retention is handled by precision molding — each holster is formed to a specific firearm, so the fit is exact. Comfort comes from smooth, rounded edges and a sweat guard that prevents the slide from digging into your skin. Concealment is enhanced with optional claw attachments that push the grip into your body, eliminating the most common source of printing.
We offer IWB holsters for a wide range of firearms including Glock 19, Glock 43X, Sig P365, Sig P320, Smith & Wesson M&P Shield, Springfield Hellcat, Canik TP9, and many more. Every holster ships with hardware for cant and ride height adjustments so you can fine-tune your carry position.
Frequently Asked Questions
What belt do I need for an IWB holster?
A sturdy gun belt is essential for IWB carry. We recommend a reinforced belt designed for concealed carry — either leather with a steel core or a nylon tactical belt with a stiff insert. Your belt supports the weight of your firearm and prevents the holster from shifting.
What is a concealment claw and do I need one?
A concealment claw (or wing) is a polymer attachment that presses against the inside of your waistband, leveraging your belt to push the grip of the firearm into your body. It significantly reduces printing and is highly recommended for IWB carry, especially at the appendix position.
Can I tuck my shirt over an IWB holster?
Yes. Our IWB holsters are available with tuckable clips that allow you to tuck a dress shirt between the holster and your waistband for deeper concealment in professional settings.
