IDPA Legal IWB Holsters - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

OK. I think I am stuck between getting a comp-tac C-TAC or a crossbreed super tuck.

A little background - I am a normal height very large guy. I currently carry IWB with just a clipdraw. I want to carry condition 1 but don't feel safe doing it with a clipdraw.

1. Are either of these holsters IDPA legal? The guy there suggested the comp-tac so I have to assume it is.

2. I am a very large guy. Do you think that either of these holsters will work considering I am spongy and rolly. Yeah.

Thanks ahead of time for any opinions.

Curious to know the answer myself/

I shoot IDPA using my Crossbreed Supertuck. I've seen guys with CTACs too. If you download and read the IDPA Handbook you'll find that the rules for IWB holsters are a lot more loose than OWB.

That was one thing the guy said. IWB the cant wasn't important and all those space requirements were so restrictive. I know women were given special holsters that guys couldn't use.

Can a fat guy use IWB though?

Of course. We have more room for the pistol to blend into our body. The skinny guys usually have a harder time.

I figured my love handle would push the gun handle out a little bit.

... and also provides cushioning. Get some duct tape and tape a soda can to a pillow then a telephone pole. Put a t-shirt over each one. Which one will be easier to blend in?

Screw it... Give me some duct tape... I'm going John McClain today...

All IWB "holsters" are approved in IDPA. I believe the clip draw would be considered an attachment, not a holster. My preference for competition holster material is kydex.

Yep. They even emphasize in the rulebook that all IWB holsters are legal (as long as they have strong-side placement and not cross-draw).
