    What is your summer IWB holster?

    I rocked a J frame in my front pocket forever, but recently switched back to my G26. The holster I have is a typical kydex, sling metal clip holster from a LGS.

    I just ordered a new belt from Beltman and want to get a solid holster that is secure but doesn't print terribly in shorts and a t-shirt. I've tried on a buddy's Crossbreed Supertuck and I felt like I was wearing a battle belt. Way too bulky for someone like me with a thin waist.

    I'm looking at holsters like the Comp-tac Infidel and GCode Incog (without mag caddy, single clip).

    What do you use when you're rocking a polo (With all the LEOs and .mil on here I know some of you are rocking a polo as you read this) and how does it work for you? How thinly can you dress before it prints?

    Why do you think you need IWB to conceal with a polo? X Concealment OWB every day for me in South Florida.
    Go in peace, but be prepared for violence.

    When I carried a G26 I used this holster with the single HD clip:

    Very easy to slip on and off and held the firearm securely. It's on the borderline r.e. weight being spread well with just the one belt clip though for all day wear. I do like to add a little moleskin to the sweat shield area for summertime wear in sub-tropical humidity, but otherwise is a good holster.

    I'm a bigger fan of the GI Silent Thunder Fusion but that has two clips and doesn't sound like what you're looking for at the moment.

    I carry either a Shield or P2000 in kydex by ZCS (w/Compac clips) year round. Either are fine with a polo or t-shirt and shorts.

    Brommeland Max Con V provided maximum discretion when I carried a G17.

    I don't get this summer/winter dichotomy. I don't have summer or winter guns or holsters.

    I've easily and routinely concealed G17s and 4" K frames in summer using both IWB and OWB holsters. And yes, it does get hot and humid in Ohio.

    I carry a G19 in a JM Custom Kydex AIWB. Conceals great, even under a T-shirt.

    I carry either a G19 or Shield in a JM Custom Kydex IWB3. Well worth the wait as his shipping time is currently 9-10 weeks. I have an IWB3 and OWB2 for a VP9 on order now.

    Currently using a Garrett Silent Thunder for the VP9 and I don't really care for the holster despite the positive reviews I read before ordering it. To me, it rides too low as my waistband is higher than the mouth of the holster and there isn't a way to adjust the ride height to fix it. Also, it has kydex belt clips which are generally prone to breaking. I ordered two extra clips when I bought the holster. No signs of cracking on the clips so they may last a while. I will say shipping was fast which was my main reason for ordering it. It's a good holster but I'm spoiled on JM.
