Hi
I was wondering if any of you have an idea for a practical IWB holster for a Glock 22. I don't know much about them. Not that's the ideal gun to carry, but right now i don't have a better choice.

I've never heard of anyone complaining about Milt Sparks Summer Special holsters.

Here's another link to a holster maker that gets good marks from people who take CCW seriously.

A Milt Sparks Summer Special is ther way to go.

There are at least 1/2 doz. good IWB rigs out there. Many more from smaller makers too:

A few items to think about in holster design for a Glock:

First is that the Glock generally is fat and difficult to carry IWB. People do it, but you have to buy larger pants. Barrel length is not the crucial concern. It's the grip sticking out from the holster.

Find a holster that holds the grip close to your body.

IWB can be done (right handed shooter) from about 11 O'clock (cross draw) around to 1 O'clock, to about 4 O'clock on the belt.

4 O'clock is going to be the one where the grip sticks out.

Crucially, for CCW, IWB on a Glock, you want to ensure a holster design where there's no danger of snagging the trigger with flaps, snaps, straps, etc, pants loops, cell phones, key holders, whatever.

I carry a Kahr MK9 in a Kramer horsehide IWB. Very nice.

Smith Mod. 60 and a compact 1911 in Galco Scout. I'm not nuts about the 1911 for IWB. Sometimes I wish the Scout had a "back flap" between the body and the gun.

Before you walk out the door with your choice, ask to stick it in your pants with your Glock and walk around the shop, sit, bend over, squat. Check it in a mirror to see if it works.

I have maybe 8 guns I've purchased for CCW, couple holsters for most of them -- belt/pancake style, IWB.

Never found one yet that wasn't a compromise -- size, bulk, caliber.
