Title: What is tuckable?
Post by: fitebak on July 05, 2009, 10:42:08 AM
I'm a little confused about what "tuckable" means. I have an IWB for a G19 and I can either wear a shirt over it or outer garment. Does tuckable mean pulling a shirt partly out of the pants so that it folds over the gun or what? I have a comptac MTAC holster. I"m experimenting with concealment in warmer weather or a concealment method whereby my shirt can be "tucked" but avoid a sometimes obvious straight cut outer shirt. I also have a Galco OWB for wear under a jacket or even a straight cut shirt. It is a little more comfortable when driving but I'm still experimenting. I'm not new to defensive shooting but am a little ignorant about best concealment methods. Thanks for any suggestions.

Some IWB holsters have an attachement clip that allows a shirt to be tucked in between the clip and the holster.  Not everyone makes one.

The Crossbreed site has a little video that shows it pretty well.

I have teh MTAC as well and the idea is that you can tuck in your shirt while concealing your firearm, and all that shows are a few clips...a lot of IWB's wont allow for this...

Like everything, you need to practice, practice, practice, get some training and practice some more!

Should be no different than listing a shirt tail or reaching into a pocket.....Practice makes perfect or as close as man can get to it!
