Bye the bye, I've decided to return the Front-Line tuckable holster. I like that it's made of heavy leather. But fit on the gun was a little loose, and it doesn't really work as an OWB holster. With the 1911, it's floppy. It was obviously a lot to expect for it to function as both IWB and OWB. But given it doesn't, then its belt loops are too exposed. I've decided to try a Desantis Mad Max, and if that works for me to put in an order for the real thing - a Versa-Max 2. For open or semi-concealed carry, I'm going to pick up an Omega Gunsite.
Fits glock perfect but I don't like it as OWB hangs too low but I always wear IWB anyway which is what I bought it for. Just like cigars everyone likes um different
Indeed. And the Front-line is undoubtedly a quality holster.
I place one loop near my trousers loop and cover the other one with cell phone and virtually not noticeable at all.
When I carry at work, it really needs to be deep conceal, because while it's not illegal or against regulations for me to carry there, it would really make people upset. The loops on the FL are more prominent on me because I'm short and fairly skinny. I can manage to hide them, but I'd be worrying about them - and worrying about them leads to discovery. Fortunately, we have to dress more warmly here than Texans do most of the year, which helps with concealing. But the smaller I can get the footprint of the retainer clips/loops to be, the more likely I'll be able to use a single holster year-round.
I am forbidden by law to carry at work and can't even have the empty holster by policy - SUX but then again so does my job.
Texas is so often a set of contradictions. Red state, lots of guns, independent-minded...and illegal to carry at work.
Private enterprises can forbid carry here, but state buildings can't forbid licensed carry unless they provide secure check-in. It's legal here to carry in the state Capitol building. They try to discourage it as much as they can, but that's what concealment is for. ;-)
But I work in the most left-leaning agency of an already leftward state. So there's natural pressure to keep it on the way-down-low.
