Hey guys,
I have a little colt pony in .380 that I've carried in a pocket holster. I recently bought a cheap Uncle Mikes IWB open top Kydex holster and I find that while wearing it the pistol and holster seem to ride up and stick out as though my daily movements are causing it to want to climb out of my pants. I haven't had a problem with retention, but it looks precarious and it also may look more obvious that I'm carrying. I think it's because it's such a short barreled pistol (2.75") that it's doing this. My 1911 doesn't do this at all. Maybe I'm not built right for carrying the 380 this way. Any suggestions? Has anyone else had this type of problem with small autoloaders in an IWB holster riding up and out?
