The DeSantis Gunhide Slim-Tuk IWB holster delivers minimalist concealed carry for Springfield XDS pistols without sacrificing retention or accessibility. This ambidextrous design eliminates the bulk of traditional leather holsters while maintaining positive weapon control through precision-molded Kydex construction.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional inside-the-waistband holsters that require dedicated belt loops, the Slim-Tuk utilizes a unique tuckable design that accommodates both belted and beltless carry options. The holster's minimal footprint reduces printing while the open-bottom design accommodates threaded barrels and various sight configurations. Heat-formed Kydex provides consistent draw stroke and audible retention click that leather alternatives cannot match.
