Can I use this for IWB or is this made for pocket carry only? Thanks.

This is designed for pocket carry. There is no retaining clip to hold it in place for IWB. I have tucked it into my waistband, as it has a somewhat grippy texture, and it stayed put somewhat OK.

It is made for pocket carry. I did try the IWB approach and it works. With no way to attach to either belt or pants, I'm not sure how secure it would be. Around the house it felt good. Drawing the 238 was not a problem but reholstering could be if the holster were to shift after removing the firearm. I use IWB all the time and feel better having my holster securely attached to my belt.

It doesn't have any sort of clip that could hold it to a belt. The only thing keeping it in your waist band would be friction, so I would recommend against it. It's an excellent pocket holster though.

It is designed for pocket carry. I haven't tried it for anything else but I have to say that I have carried it in my pocket for almost two years now and it still works perfect. Like it so much I bought them for my son and for my brother. All are very happy with them.

Pocket carry only. No clip to adhere to pants or belt. You could put IWB (belt would have to be tight) but it could drop to the ground. Not worth the chance. It is a wonderful holster though.

without the clip it can be used as a pocket holster on either side. Clip for inside the waist use designed for RT. I am right handed but use mine as a pocket holster on my left side without any problem.

I quit wearing my shoulder holster in favor of an IWB for daily carry. I find access is much faster. I never had a leather shaving issue.

It's a great for for the .357(same profile as the .38)However, there is no retention so I feel comfortable with it in front pants or jacket pocket, but if placed in a loose bag it may not stay in the holster providing trigger coverage- this leading to safety concerns.That said, great holster, and my preferred carry option for pockets or even a snug bag pocket.

I use it for everyday carry. When wearing slacks, it is a too bulky. For jeans, no problems. I just ordered the Recon mini for days that I have to wear slacks.

Think about having the holster in your pocket..... You want to be able to get a grip on the gun to draw or pull it out of your pocket. If you are left handed, you will want the left holster...

Yes you can. Even though it is meant for pocket carry, you can still use it IWB. I found it to be a little bulky for my liking in my pocket (not the holster but the gun). I really only use it IWB anymore. The rubber grips all over the holster help keep it in place. I advise you to where a belt which also helps keep it in place. However, you must be careful when undoing your belt since there are no clips your gun could just fall. I know its not really meant to be used this way but its comfortable, concealed and i'll wear it all day. Used with Sig P238.

I would not recommend it for open carry as it's only a level 1. Nor would I use a Serpa holster. as they have the design flaw of trigger finger release. The 5.11/Blade-Tech Thumb-drive is better level 2 holster for open carry.

I have the pro carry and it works great, urs should too. Really like the holster.

Personally I feel it is a right handed holster as far as pocket carry goes because of the metal snap on the belt clip area {remember,belt clip is removable} If you aren't pocket carrying or your pocket is loose fitting the holster could be used for left handed shooters. As for Crimson Trace, it seems to me there is enough play in the holster that you could get it to form to that configuration. i hope this helps.

the holster shown is meant for outside the waistband. I do carry this weapon and light combo inside the waistband in a custom built kydex holster. you can good ones from places like Raven Concealment systems, if you need one.

It can be used for both. I use it for IWB if I do not have a loose shirt on to cover a holster. Works well in pocket as well.

The one I bought is for left carry. I know they make a right handed one too. I have no idea about "duty carry" because I am not a cop. This is by far hte best designed comfortable holster I have ever owned.

I received an IWB holster with my laser. I suppose if you slipped off the belt clip, you could use it as a pocket holster

I use this with my m&p22. Concealed carry eould depend on how you dress. The bulk rides outside your waistband though. It is not stealthy.

I like the holster. I wear button up shirts and it fits comfortably under my arm. I wouldn't carry anything bigger than a .45. I've asked people I know of course if they can tell I was carrying. None of them could see it.
