SIngle Stack IWB Holster

[viking499]

I enjoy carrying my Shield and 43 IWB and my double stacks OWB.

Like most of you, I have the "holster drawer" that is full of holsters that i have tried and experimented with over the years and have found things that work so far.

But, lately, I have been experimenting with the single stacks closer to the small of my back, between 4 and 6 o'clock area and like it. The barrel has been pointed everywhere between 7 and 9 o'clock while experimenting.

Never had a holster that would put a gun in this area, at this cant. Not even sure what that style is called. So, before I decrease the empty space in my holster drawer.

What type of holster am I looking for? Brand? Cant? Anyone else carry like this?

Holster at 6:00 is called Small of the Back or SOB. Most recommend against it, and therefore there aren't many that make one.

Though not designed as an SOB holster, the DM Bullard Bodyguard has a severe cant that may work http://andrewsleather.com

As long as the holster's not over the spine, it's not really unsafe. I have experimented with holsters at 4:30-5:00 with more cant, and they can work well for certain guns.

I can stay off the spine. The 4:30-5:15 area seems to work well for me. I just need more of a cant than a traditional holster. A sticky holster would work anywhere, but I want something more secure in its location.

Here's one I did for my SIG 1911 that I wear in that location; works well, hides VERY well (for me.)


And one for a Glock 43 (OWB)

Thanks for the pics and info so far all. I am not going over the spine, too uncomfortable as far the the reach. From what I have read so far, looking for a IWB holster that has me going "palm in".

I use a Tucker Gunleather hybrid holster for my Sig P239 (single stack 9mm) and carry about 4:30

I think they have options for cant.
