Tuckable holster - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I can't always wear a jacket or overshirt, so I was wondering which tuckable IWB holsters work well enough for everyday carry (XD45 service). I've been looking at the Comp-Tac Shirt-Tucker (I know, the CTAC is probably worth it, but I'm cheap and the Shirt Tucker has a decent cant), the SmartCarry, or the CrossBreed SuperTuck. If anyone has any experience with these, I'd really like to know what works and what doesn't.
I'm also considering something cheaper, like the High Noon Split Decision or an Uncle Mike's (which I could easily modify to use for tuckable). If people have had decent experiences with the cheaper ones, I may save myself a bit of money.
Any advice you guys can give would be great.

I can't speak for the others, but the Comp-Tac CTAC is worth it. I love mine.

Give the Tucker Answer or Cover Up a look, very well made and extremely comfortable holsters!

I got my Crossbreed on Monday. It is well made and super comfortable. I wish I wouldn't have wasted money buying the others.

+1 on the holsters from Tucker.
I had a Texas Heritage for my SC and it was terrific!

the problem(big problem) with that holster is when you try to reholster. there is nothing to support it in the front and if you dont reholster perfectly you will push the holster down into your pants. also if you wear loose clothing and are pretty active it will eventually just fall down into your pants.

i know Gregg of Comp-Tac personally, and i know a lot of people who have tried this holster, almost all of them returned it.

but...it may work for you, its all relative to body type.

i would suggest the Gurkha or the Pro Undercover... both accomplish the same thing as the shirt tucker without the falling problem and with better support.

Very happy with my Crossbreed Supertuck.

On those Tucker holsters, is there much noticable printing? I've seen the pics from the SuperTuck, which are amazing, and pics from the SmartCarry are similarly impressive. I'm definitely leaning toward the Supertuck, since it looks extremely comfortable.
I bought an Uncle Mike's for now, but there is no comfortable way to wear it that doesn't result in noticable printing. If I made it into a tuckable (with a belt under the pants or by cutting some threads), I can't imagine a tucked in shirt giving much concealment. While I wait for my new holster, I'm definitely going to see if I can build a decent one out of my cheapo, though. Definitely nothing to lose cutting and sewing on a $10 holster. If I can modify the clip, maybe add another, I may be able to keep the gun's grip close enough to my body to use that until I have something better.
If anyone's done any substantial modification to a cheap holster, I'd love to hear how that turned out.
