The Blackhawk 416149BK Stache IWB holster delivers secure concealed carry for Ruger LC9, EC9, and LC380 pistols with minimal printing and maximum comfort. This inside-the-waistband design features a polymer construction that maintains its shape while remaining lightweight for all-day carry.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional leather holsters that can collapse when the firearm is drawn, the Stache maintains its rigid form factor through injection-molded polymer construction. The ambidextrous design accommodates both right and left-handed shooters without requiring separate models. The low-profile belt clip system distributes weight evenly across the belt line, reducing hot spots during extended wear periods.
Key Features
- Ambidextrous design fits both right and left-handed carry positions
- Injection-molded black polymer construction resists moisture and maintains shape
- Precision-fitted for Ruger LC9, EC9, and LC380 pistol models
- Low-profile belt clip accommodates belts up to 1.75 inches wide
- Smooth interior finish prevents holster wear on firearm finish
- Minimal bulk design reduces printing under clothing
- Retention system secures firearm without active retention mechanisms
The Stache performs consistently across various clothing combinations and carry positions. Law enforcement officers appreciate the quick, silent draw stroke for off-duty carry, while civilian concealed carriers benefit from the holster's ability to disappear under business attire. The polymer material resists sweat, humidity, and temperature fluctuations without degrading or losing retention properties. Draw angle optimization allows for natural hand positioning during presentation.
