Discover Our KYDEX IWB Holsters

Our KYDEX IWB holsters combine durability, comfort, and style for the ultimate carrying experience. Formed over our proprietary, in-house designed and made aluminum molds, each holster provides a unique, comfortable, and reliable housing for your weapon. Every holster is meticulously designed for secure concealment and rapid draw when needed.

Our KYDEX IWB holsters are not only functional but also engineered for all day comfort. We prioritize the comfort of the wearer without compromising any functionality. The adjustable 'Posi-click' retention allows you to refine the retention hold while the minimalist design reduces printing, ensuring that your weapon remains concealed and secure.

The strength and rigidity of KYDEX make our IWB Holsters tough and ready for any situation. They are resistance to sweat, water, and wear, which makes them the preferred choice for everyday carry. Explore our range of KYDEX IWB Holsters today to find the perfect holster for your EDC.

Inside-the-Waistband (IWB) carry is the most popular method for concealed carry. Here’s why:

• Maximum Concealment – Tucks inside your waistband, disappearing under a t-shirt or button-down.
  
• All-Day Comfort – Slim, lightweight Kydex construction sits securely without bulk.
  
• Rapid Access – Our Posi-Click™ retention gives you an audible “click” so you know your firearm is locked in place yet ready when you need it.
  
• Custom Fit – Every Rounded Gear holster is molded to your exact gun model for superior retention and consistency.
  
• Durability – American-made Kydex withstands daily wear without stretching, warping, or breaking.

• Appendix Carry with Claw – For those who prefer AIWB, our concealment claw combined with our Classic IWB Holster reduces printing by pressing the grip closer to the body.

Each IWB Holster option is engineered for safety, comfort, and reliability, giving you the flexibility to carry how you want, when you want.

Everything You Need to Know About Inside-the-Waistband Carry

Inside-the-Waistband (IWB) holsters are the gold standard for concealed carry. Whether you’re a first-time gun owner or an experienced carrier, understanding how to choose, wear, and maintain an IWB holster is key to comfort, concealment, and safety. This guide covers it all, from holster styles and positions, to best practices for everyday carry.

What is an IWB Holster?

An IWB holster is designed to sit inside your waistband, between your pants and your body. This placement keeps your firearm close and concealed, making it one of the most discreet carry options available. Unlike Outside-the-Waistband (OWB) holsters, which sit on the outside of your belt, IWB holsters are optimized for concealed carry in everyday settings.

Benefits of IWB Carry

• Maximum Concealment: Tucks neatly under your clothing with minimal printing.
  
• Secure Retention: Holds your firearm close to the body for faster draw and better retention.
  
• Flexible Positioning: Can be worn appendix, hip, or behind the hip to suit your comfort and lifestyle.
  
• Year-Round Carry: Conceals easily under both light summer clothing and heavier winter layers.
  

Types of IWB Holsters

At Rounded Gear, we design holsters that fit every carry style:

• Classic IWB Holster – Slim, reliable, and molded to your firearm for everyday carry.
  
• Tuckable IWB Holster – Perfect for professional attire, allowing you to tuck your shirt while still concealing.
  
• Appendix (AIWB) Holster with Claw – Designed for front-of-body carry, with a concealment claw that minimizes printing by rotating the grip inward.
  
• Minimalist Trigger Guard Holster – Lightweight option for deep concealment or off-body carry setups.
  

Best Carry Positions for IWB Holsters

• Appendix Carry (AIWB): Worn around the 1–2 o’clock position, favored for fast access and deep concealment.
  
• Strong-Side Hip (3–4 o’clock): A traditional and comfortable position for most body types.
  
• Small of Back (5–6 o’clock): Less common but possible — be mindful of comfort when sitting.
  

Key Features to Look For in an IWB Holster

When choosing an IWB holster, focus on:

• Retention: A secure fit with an audible “click” (Rounded Gear’s Posi-Click™ Retention).
  
• Comfort: Slim Kydex design that doesn’t dig into your body.
  
• Adjustability: Options for cant (angle), ride height, and concealment claw attachments.
  
• Durability: High-quality materials that resist sweat, stretching, and everyday wear.
  
• Trigger Protection: Complete coverage of the trigger guard for safe carry.
  

Clothing and Gear for IWB Carry

• Gun Belt: A sturdy belt distributes weight evenly and prevents holster sag.
  
• Concealment Clothing: Darker colors, patterns, and slightly looser shirts reduce printing.
  
• Tuckable Options: Perfect for business or formal attire.
  

IWB vs. OWB Holsters

• IWB Holsters – Best for maximum concealment, EDC, and discreet carry.
  
• OWB Holsters – Ideal for open carry, training days, or when concealment is less critical.
  

Most serious carriers own both, choosing based on situation and environment.
