I finally found and purchased the IWB "Answer" on 3/15/05, and it truly is the answer. Its so comfortable if I see a no concealed weapons sticker on a building I'm about to enter I have to feel with my hand to see if its there. When I ordered my answer Rob helped me get the right clips. The holster most ofter carries a sup-compact Springfield XD-40 and I love my holster. There is no better. Before going to tucker I had purchased others some were not necessarily that much cheaper they just didn't work. There was always some problem with each of them, some trade off if you will. With the Answer I sacrifice nothing, its the total package, retention, comfort, deep concealment to presentation in seconds, hands down it is the best damn IWB holster money can buy at any price. And on another note if you potential customers are concerned about the extended lead time, don't be it will be well worth the wait. Now having owned one I would prepay and wait 2 years if necessary, thats just how good these holsters are. Once you own one you will wonder how you ever got by without it, try it and see.

With my Texas Heritage rig and a Kahr P45 I have complete mobility. I was surprised the first time I tried walking around with my shirt untucked opposed to tucked and a tight. The Texas Heritage allows me to work all day around people with full mobility and not holding up a sign that says, "Look what’s in my Pocket"! Thin maybe in but give me mobility any day of the week.

Anything that can make a full-size 1911 disappear under a tucked t-shirt is all you need. I'm talking about my own, beloved Answer. I've turned a few friends onto this miracle and it's consensus: There is absolutely nothing better (I would argue, as good...) than an Answer for stealth, all-day and "nap-test" comfort and lightning fast presentation. Of course there is thinner. FIST makes an all kydex IWB that is micro-thin. It also collapses under belt tension and will crack over time. Blade-Tech, one of the two finest (comp-tac, being the other) all-kydex products out there, abandoned their thinnest kydex for these reasons and went slightly thicker for life-time durability.

I carry a full-size USP45 Tactical in a Texas Heritage just about every moment that I'm awake. The USP in the Texas Heritage conceals far better than my Kimber Ultra-Carry in my Uncle Mike's IWB, which is as thin a holster as you can get without the gun tearing through the bottom. The Ultra-Carry is about half the size of the USP. It's not the size of the fish, it's the motion in the ocean. Rob speaks the truth, my friends.
