IWB mean In the Waist Band

OWB is Out of Waist Band

My first impression is that this is a bad idea. There are however a few merits that I will give it on the positive side.
1) its more or less locked in so if someone tried to grab your gun it would retain it.

But isnt that why we carry "concealed"?

2) can carry with flashlight mounted or lazer, or whatever.

This is a good thing, I wish more holsters did that.

The idea of action back has merit with single action weapons, where you would otherwise carry cocked and locked, but with double action, a droped hammer IMHO is going to be just as unlikly to fire.

As the Spark-o-nater stated, this is really only for OWB carry, they would be smart to work on a IWB version.

And finaly the price: $169!!!!
I've had holsters custom made for less than that! You can get an extremely well made Kydex or Concealx holster made for $55 from edge works http://www.tacticalholsters.com or a beautiful leather holster from MD (not to be confused with mad dog knives) at http://www.gunsandgold.com/ for half the price!

IMHO, which this is just that, its a piece of gadgetry, which nifty as it is, I dont see as being something I would trust my life to.

The preceading opinion was mine, not nessicarily the views of anyone else, yada yada yada.
