Simple, Effective, and Comfortable Concealment Sometimes the best solution is the simplest one. The Rothco Inside The Waistband (IWB) Holster is designed for the carrier who needs a lightweight, low-profile option without the bulk of heavy Kydex or leather rigs. Constructed from durable Polyester Material, this holster slides easily inside your waistband, providing a cushioned barrier between the firearm and your body for superior comfort during all-day wear.

Security is handled by a rugged Hard Plastic Clip that grabs onto your belt or pants waistband, ensuring the holster stays in place when you draw. Unlike open-top friction holsters, this model features an Adjustable Hook & Loop Retention Strap. This strap goes over the back of the slide or hammer, keeping your firearm locked in place during movement but allowing for a quick release when seconds count. Available in two sizes, it accommodates everything from sub-compact backup guns to full-size duty pistols.

Key Features

  • Hard Plastic Belt Clip: A sturdy, reliable clip attaches securely to belts up to 1.75" wide or directly to the waistband of your pants.
  • Adjustable Retention: Features a velcro-style hook & loop strap that secures the firearm, preventing it from falling out during physical activity.
  • Low Profile Design: The thin, soft synthetic construction reduces "printing" and bulk, making it ideal for deep concealment under light shirts.
  • Universal Fit: Available in two sizes (Medium and Large) to fit a wide variety of handgun frames and barrel lengths.
  • Comfortable Wear: Soft polyester material prevents the gun steel from digging into your side, making it more comfortable than rigid holsters.

Why It Matters Many IWB holsters are uncomfortable and dig into your skin. This soft-sided holster offers a "cushion" effect, making it perfect for quick trips to the store or for carrying smaller pistols where a heavy rig feels like overkill.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size handguns fit the Rothco IWB Holster SKU 4983-M?

The Rothco Inside The Waistband Holster is available in two sizes to accommodate different firearm profiles. The Small size fits sub-compact and compact pistols like Glock 43, SIG P365, and similar frames. The Large size accommodates standard-sized handguns such as Glock 19, SIG P320, and comparable models. The adjustable hook and loop retention strap allows you to customize the fit for your specific handgun, ensuring a secure hold regardless of slight variations in slide width or grip length.

Can I wear the Rothco IWB Holster all day without discomfort?

Yes, this holster is specifically designed for all-day concealed carry comfort. The low-profile synthetic construction sits discreetly inside your waistband without creating bulk or printing through clothing. The hard plastic clip distributes weight evenly along your belt line, reducing pressure points during extended wear. Many users wear this holster for 8-12 hour shifts in office, retail, or field environments. For maximum comfort, position the holster at the 3-5 o'clock (right-handed) or 7-9 o'clock (left-handed) position.

How does the Rothco IWB clip attachment compare to belt loop holsters?

The Rothco IWB Holster uses a durable hard plastic clip that offers faster on/off capability compared to traditional belt loop designs. You can attach or remove this holster in seconds without threading your belt, making it ideal for situations where you need to transition between carry and non-carry environments quickly. The clip provides stable positioning and won't shift during movement, while still allowing easy adjustment of carry position throughout the day. Belt loop holsters offer slightly more security but sacrifice convenience.

Will the Rothco Inside The Waistband Holster work with my existing gun belt?

Absolutely. The Rothco IWB Holster's hard plastic clip is designed to attach securely to both standard dress belts (1.25"-1.5" width) and dedicated gun belts (1.5"-1.75" width). The clip grips firmly without damaging leather or nylon belt materials. For optimal performance, we recommend pairing this holster with a reinforced gun belt that won't sag under the weight of your firearm. The clip's spring tension is calibrated to hold securely during active movement while still allowing intentional repositioning when needed.

Is the Rothco IWB Holster's retention strap adjustable for different draw speeds?

Yes, the hook and loop retention strap is fully adjustable to balance security and draw speed based on your preferences. Tighten the strap for maximum retention during high-activity situations like running or physical work, or loosen it slightly for faster access during defensive scenarios. The strap wraps around your handgun's grip or trigger guard area, preventing accidental dislodging while still allowing a smooth, consistent draw stroke. Practice adjusting the tension to find your ideal balance between weapon security and rapid deployment.
