| I was looking at the DM bullard IWB tuckable. Any of you guys use this holster or know anybody who does?? I usually carry around 3:30 or 4 oclock! Also like Ryan Grizzle city slicker. Thing I like about the DM is it can be used for appendix carry which ive never tried, but like the option. |

Try the Cross Breed before you buy it. It is quite large and if you do not get the combat cut, your ability to get a good grip is compromised. I wish I would have tried it before hand. It carries ok, but the performance was lacking. I have since modified mine to allow better access to the grip, however, it now looks like junk. I also own a:
Don Hume (OWB) and High Noon (IWB) which are both very good (leather)
Raven Concealment for my M&P (IWB / OWB) which is awesome. Can't wait for the PPS version.
If you can try out first please do (so you can find one you like) |

Thanks everybody for the info!
Jon, I know what you mean. I know alot of people love the supertuck, but I dont really care for that design. I have a kholster whick is very similar, Had one for my G30 that I ended up modifying because you couldnt get a full grip, that gun was just too thick for me. Traded it on an ultra carry and jimmy let me exchange my kholster for a brand new one for the kimber! But I just dont really like how it feels so I got a holster similar to VM2 from c5 leather.
I really think Im goin to go with Ryan Grizzle's city slicker! Its basically the same as a Tucker Texas Herritage that alot of people seem to Love!!! Let you know when I get It! |

| Definitely give Crossbreed Holsters a call and ask for advise. They are extremely helpful. The holsters are not pretty, but dang it... they are real comfortable. If you perspire alot, spend a few bucks more and get the horse hide instead of the cow hide. Good Luck!!! |

I am selling one of these holsters. Can't tell you how it carries, but it looks/feels very well made. adjustable cant and ride height. haven't carried it, because my other holster arrived first and got broke in before the Bullard holster arrived, so I just stuck with it. Kinda torn between wearing it to break it in as an alternate holster or leave in new condition so I can resell it. Let me know if you're interested in purchasing. Still in brand new condition right now.... |

USMC,
I assume you have the Dm Bullard Tuckable IWB for a PPS, correct?
If so, how much are you asking for it? |

Since the OP specifically said he did not care for kydex, I don't understand why people are suggesting the CB Supertuck. With that said, I carry in a TTGunleather reiforced mouth IWB LEATHER rig, which I DO appendix carry,and it is EXTREMELY comfortable. Tim at TT is a great guy to work with, and will answer any and all questions for you. And since every holster is a custom build to order, you can discuss any changes, or mods you may want with it.
Here is a link to his site:
http://www.ttgunleather.com/catalog/c1_p1.html
And here is what mine looks like:
I forget I'm wearing this setup it's so comfortable.
And just cause it makes me laugh..........

I have to chime in with rave reviews of the Crossbreed Minituck as well.
Those other holsters by TT, and other similar VM2 designs are way too thick and ride way too high for me.
The mini tuck despite what you may think is the most simplistic yet comfortable holster available on the market. I had trouble with a supertuck because there was just too much leather, but the minituck is the perfect fix.
Maybe he says he doesn't want kydex, but doesn't know what he's missing.
Look at this photo
The leather in this photo all said and done is like 4-6x as thick as the leather of my crossbreed minituck. That makes a HUGE difference when carrying IWB. Holsters such as yours pictured will never work for me for this reason. |

This is a photo of the back side of a CB minituck. Note the many screws and metal, etc. that is on the skin side of this holster. Adjustability for ride depth and cant is great. With that I have no problem. But has anyone ever tried to wear something that just will not quit digging into you? Seems to me they should find a better way to attach all the hardware than the current method. If this holster is comfy for some, great, but by design, it CANNOT be comfy for all. Same as a TTGunleather holster is not for everyone. Thats why the OP is smart to ask people for suggestions and photos. It helps to sort out what is right for some, but not for others. TO BE CLEAR HERE, I am not bashing, or even speaking ill of the CB product. Simply pointing out what I don't like about it.
As you can see, there are 8 potential contact points to cause pain when moving about the day normally.
Now here AGAIN is the backside of MY holster. Note that there are only 2 potential contact points, and they are up at the top of the beltline, and have a rounded back that the CB does not employ. They actually do not even touch me. The CB product has decidedly sharper edges to their connection hardware.

I gotta agree...
I'd much rather wear my leather IWB from TTGunleather than my leather+kydex Spartan from Comp-tac. I have none of the said problems with it in the slightest, even during 6 hour drives in my Cherokee.
And it's damn attractive..if anyone were to ever see it.

| I just purchased a Don Hume IWB and it fits like a glove! Easy to reholster, leather, and easy on the wallet ($30). Like many have stated, I can wear it all day and almost forget it's there. |

Thanks to everyone who recommended the High Noon Split Decision. I received mine a couple days ago, and it has been very comfortable for me carrying at about 4 o'clock. No problem sitting at my desk all day or driving. Can't hardly even tell its there.  |

Paper weight holster?
I'm sure much of it has to do with body size/weight and what's comfortable for the invidvidual, but in my experiennce the TT really isn't noticeably heavier than the Spartan I've got, and isn't noticeably thicker - at least enough for me to notice. I do however, have the "slim" version of the TT IWB which does not include the plastic reinforcement plate, which I'm sure helps.
The backing leather is the same thicknness on both holsters, but the kydex on the spartan is only slightly thinner than the front piece of leather on the TT - but again, not enough to make a difference for me.

Hi All- fairly new PPS owner (about 3 months) and just joined the PPS forum today. As a first post I thought I'd share an IWB holder that I've been using pretty much 24/7 for the last 3 months or so and I find it extremely comfortable and functional.
This one I enjoy a lot and although it seems cheesy it is comfortable with the nylon. I use the front pouch to place an extra mag in or sometimes a knife. Its called the ProStealth and made by Desantis. Very fast shipping and a pretty reasonable price. I will try and post actual pics of mine with the gun holstered later on.

I would look into highnoon holsters. A PPS version of almost all their holsters is available. I just ordered the OWB Topless holster which is a molded two-slot belt holster. It should be here in about 3 months about the same time I receive my license to carry. I am also trying to decide which of their IWB holsters I want.
I also found Coronado leather which makes several styles of reinforced leather holster belts to go with the holster. |

I also use the Desantis Pro Stealth. Been using it for about a year now. I was really drawn to it because I like having the extra clip option.
