The DeSantis Slim-Tuk IWB holster delivers minimalist concealed carry for 1911 Government models without sacrificing retention or accessibility. This ambidextrous design eliminates bulk while maintaining the secure hold essential for everyday carry.
What Makes This Different
The Slim-Tuk features a tuckable design that allows shirt tails to cover the belt clip completely, creating a truly concealed profile. Unlike traditional IWB holsters with leather backing, the all-Kydex construction provides consistent draw stroke and eliminates moisture retention. The minimal footprint reduces printing while the adjustable cant accommodates different carry positions from 0 to 15 degrees.
Key Features
- Tuckable belt clip allows complete concealment under tucked shirts
- Precision-molded Kydex construction fits 1911 Government 5-inch barrel models
- Ambidextrous design works for both right and left-handed carriers
- Adjustable cant from 0 to 15 degrees for optimal draw angle
- Minimal 0.75-inch width profile reduces bulk and printing
- Audible retention click confirms secure holstering
- Heat-resistant black Kydex withstands temperature extremes
Field performance centers on the balance between concealment and accessibility. The low-profile design disappears under business attire while maintaining positive retention during active movement. The smooth Kydex interior protects firearm finish during repeated draws, while the rigid construction prevents holster collapse after drawing. Law enforcement and civilian carriers report consistent performance across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F.
