FIST holsters

**Weights** · December 29th, 2007, 08:34 AM

Wanted to get some feedback on what you all thought of FIST holsters. One of the ones I'm looking at for a possible purchase is their #22 secret system that allows you to completely conceal a gun under a tucked shirt (no loops visible, etc). Any feedback on that particular holster as well?

If they have the 'THIN' version go with that, if its Kydex Version. I have a few TUCK 'Kydex' holsters from different places/mfgs. Depending on HOW (1pm-4pm) carry it may be a tight fit under the belt-line. If its the Leather version. Probably about the same dilemma (THICK).

I have alot of holsters sitting in a the closet. From just not being 'COMFY'

The K1/1K 'UltraThin' is the one I used the most at 1pm when I had my Kahr MK9.
Worked AWEsome for that piece.

If you guys also have advice on what you consider to be the best tuckable holster, please share.

I have owned FIST IWBs, both in thin kydex and in leather. Their thin kydex IWB is indeed the thinnest IWB humanly possible. However:

1. The holster mouth will cave in a little when you unholster so you won't easily reholster (this will be not as bad for guns with a tapered muzzle).
2. I have heard anecdotally that the ultra-thin kydex isn't especially durable and may develop cracks with heavy use.

None of these concerns apply to a leather FIST IWB, which are well made and long lasting. When I carry my G17 IWB, it's in a FIST #20, btw.

My only experience with then is a #9 in kydex. It is an OWB high ride with the slot cut close that does a great job of really pulling the pistol in tight. I've had it for about a year now and was very pleased with it but unfortunately the kydex split above the rear belt slot. I'm still debating replacing it with a leather version of the same thing.
