While waiting for the CCW to come in I've been
buying holsters for my glock 26. (I also have a Taurus
UL 85, but let's save that for later.)
So far I have a:
1. Alessi ankle holster (very tight, very high quality):
2. De Santis gun caddie (belt pouch), 26 really only fits
well in the big outer pocket);
3. Don Hume thumb break for secure carry (owb);
4. Sidearmor IWB with both belt loops and J-hooks.
All these are good quality and I hope to use them for
years.
Now I also bought a fairly cheap belt slide made of nylon.
Someone on another thread mentioned that belt slides
were great when you needed to take your gun off to go
into a self-defense free zone like a library, since the
slide didn't really look like a holster.
Now that got me thinking. The slide has belt loops on either side, so in theory you could wear it inside your
belt, and then it would be almost invisible when you
took the gun out, even if you tucked your shirt in.
So the question is, is this practical, or would it be took hard to reholster?
Would it be safe to put the holster between the belt
and the waistband of the pants?
The sidearmor J-hooks also allow you to take the gun off
fairly easily, though there is a little more manipulation.
By the way, I'm still in a holster-buying frenzy, so
if I'm missing any great ways to conceal the 26,
let me know.
