The DeSantis Gunhide Insider AIWB holster delivers reliable appendix carry performance for compact pistols. This leather holster features a minimalist design that balances concealment with quick access for everyday carry applications.
What Makes This Different
The Insider utilizes premium black leather construction with precise molding for each compatible firearm model. Unlike generic holsters, this model provides weapon-specific retention that maintains consistent draw stroke mechanics. The low-profile design reduces printing while the reinforced mouth prevents collapse during reholstering.
Key Features
- Premium black leather construction with reinforced stitching
- Compatible with Glock 19, Sig Sauer P228, and Beretta APX pistols
- Ambidextrous belt clip accommodates belts up to 1.75 inches wide
- Minimal thickness design measures approximately 0.8 inches at slide
- Open muzzle design accommodates threaded barrels and compensators
- Right-hand draw configuration with 15-degree cant angle
- Sweat guard protects firearm finish from body moisture
Field testing demonstrates consistent retention across temperature variations from -10°F to 120°F. The leather material breaks in after approximately 50-75 draw cycles, creating a custom fit specific to the carried firearm. Law enforcement officers report reliable performance during extended duty shifts, while competitive shooters appreciate the consistent presentation angle for USPSA and IDPA matches.
