My new Stealthgear mini Ventcore IWB holster showed up on May 1st. I shoved my Walther PPS-M2 into it and have been wearing it for about 10-12 hours a day over the past 5 days.
So far I am impressed with how comfortable the darn thing is to wear. I am in and out of my aircraft or my pick-up truck and it has not been a problem at all. It holds the pistol in nice and tight so seat-belts are not a concern.
The backing material has ventilation holes through most of it so it does not trap body heat or moisture.
Now I need to see how long it will last.

I tried to get the sun to shine through the vent holes

Photos are coming out fine now. Looks like a well designed and assembled holster. Please keep us updated And to it's durability.
 
I like how the gun snaps into the holster with some retention. It is a fairly fast draw. Although re-holstering is not all that easy.

I have not yet tried tucking my shirt around it.
 
Over 30 days of everyday wear so far and no problems. I have been climbing up onto my float-plane's wings for fueling with jerry-jugs, wearing hip waders while in hip-deep water and jumping between my truck and flying my plane with no problems. The rig still looks new and the retention is still spot-on. I do not worry about my Walther falling out into a lake while out in the bush. The whole tuck-able thing works ok IF I really work at tucking in the short tail around it. I have not figured out a fast way to do that yet. 2012-12-31 030 (1280x960).jpg Usually I just wear a pull over type shirt. The only problem I have had was when my short pulled up and was stuck on top of my Walther's grips one day. Since I am an Alaskan, everyone else in the avionics shop just pulled up their shirts to show me their holsters.

Thanks for the update!

Sounds like my kind of crowd!
