I've been working on a tuckable version of my Inside-the-Waistband (IWB) holster.

The first picture shows the holster in the as-worn configuration. You can see the backing that protects the gun (and your hide) from contact with the body, with all the attendant sweat, oils, salts, etc. You can also see the "button" or leather cam that positively engages the safety lock and keeps the gun on safe, no matter what. The white leather at the top of the backing prevents chafing from a hard edge.

The straps are attached at the toe of the holster with Chicago (post-type) screws. This allows them to swivel, making adjustment of the holster position easy.

The second picture shows the holster with the gun inserted in the "as-worn" configuration. A good, solid belt is recommended (the one in the picture is a blank from Tandy www.tandyleatherfactory.com)

I don't make holsters for sale, but you can find instuctions for making this holster at http://www.paul.desertskyone.com/vern/iwb_instructions.htm
