Inside-the-Waistband
Inside-the-Waistband (IWB) refers to a method of carrying a firearm, where the gun is positioned inside the waistband of the wearer’s pants. This style of carry allows for better concealment, as the firearm is hidden from view and can be easily covered by a shirt or jacket. IWB holsters are designed to securely hold the firearm while providing quick access when needed.
IWB holsters come in various materials, such as leather or Kydex, and are available in different styles to accommodate various types of firearms. Proper fit and comfort are essential for effective IWB carry, as it can affect the wearer’s mobility and overall experience. Many individuals choose this method for its balance of accessibility and concealment.
