To tuck or not to tuck...

[unworthy]

I'm looking at the PJ holster for my CM9 and I'm not sure whether to order the tuckable or non-tuckable version of his IWB holster. Most of the time I don't need a tuckable, but I do like the heavier duty clip with the thinner kydex for the holster piece. I also like the ability to tuck if necessary without a second holster. Anyone have experience with both?

I have a tuckable one. It came with the J-hook, which I didn't like because it doesn't support itself on the belt and therefore sags the pants down. I cut the hook off and added velcro, which works real well with nothing showing at all. If you need total concealment at work and have a dress code that includes a tucked shirt, that can work for you. I don't, so it stays in the drawer and I use the non tuckable one with the over the belt clip. Both are perfectly comfortable.

i just ordered a tuckable off amazon for my cm9. ive only worn a buddys before and it was very comfortable and had literally no printing while tucked in. heres the link. it has some 50+ reviews with a 4/5 star average for only $22. my bud had one and it was made pretty well for a cheap holster. the clip is metal but the rest of the j-hook (i think thats what you call it) it plastic. it also has adjustments for tilt

*edit-btw you pretty much have to wear a belt with this one or else the retention piece on the hook has nothing to latch onto and the holster can pull out with the gun pretty easily

i use the Frontline deep conceal tuckable. Works great and is very comfortable tucked or untucked.

I tuck my PM9 into the Silent Thunder and it really disappears so it can easily be worn with a suit and even take the coat off, or a golf type shirt the same. Basically you won't outdraw anybody lifting you shirt out of tuck but you won't have to resort to hitting them with a shoe either.

Another thing.... some white dress shirts are thin and will show a gun through it. The Kydex of the Silent Thunder and others is cool to the skin so you can tuck both under and over shirt.

Just my opinion, but I have the tuckable PJ holster for my CW9 with the standard over the belt clip. My thought process was too have one IWB holster that I could use both ways. To be honest I find myself tucking most of my shirts in anyway. I opted for the standard clip for stability and to be honest people never notice it. If you are an experienced EDC person you could figure it out but the average person is oblivious to it. I find the tuckable width difference is negligible and worth it for the versatility.

I use a tuckable holster but didn't always tuck until one day I walked into a department store that had the heater cranked up too high and I wanted to take off my jacket. If I'd tucked that day I could have just thrown the jacket over my shoulder and carried on. Too many people around to try to stuff my shirt tail right there.

I almost always tuck my shirt in. It slows down my draw about 1/2 second

I like the relaxed look and seldom tuck in a shirt. When I do tuck, I carry my CM9 in my RF pocket.

Same here. Use to always tuck my shirts in but since ccw I just walk around with untucked shirts. Took some getting use to. Besides I usually carry G23 IWB so tucked would never work. If I can't carry IWB when dressed in slacks and a business suite I carry PM9 right front pocket.

My body type is such that I conceal better IWB & tucked than in a pocket. My hips and butt are definitely challenged making anything heavy in a pocket tend to move a lot, say like a sack full of cats.
