IWB holster for Glock 26.

It's not necessarily obvious at all. A lot of people conceal this way because they have to, e.g., dress code at work.
Yes, it's slower to draw when your shirt's tucked in covering the gun, but it beats not carrying or carrying off body.

Here are the first two videos I found showing a pistol behind a tucked in shirt:

Hmm interesting. Personally if that was my situation I would either carry in my pocket or ankle though. But different strokes for different folks.
 
Really. Just get the Crossbreed Supertuck. No questions asked, best concealed carry holster I've ever worn. Cross between leather and kydex so you can't go wrong there. If you get one, I can promise you'll like it. It seems like everyone is using Crossbreeds now, and there's a reason behind that. They're great, if not the best IWB, imho. When you do decide to get the Crossbreed(:)), go ahead and get the combat cut because if not you'll just be sending it back for the cut.
 
I have used a Blade-Tech IWB for approximately 10 years everyday for a G-19, its much thinner than a leather one will be. Be sure to get a good belt like a Wilderness Instructor belt or a quality eather belt made for pistol carry. A lot of people over look using a good belt, it makes a big difference in comfort, security and concealment.
 
Many of the hybrix leather/kydex holsters have a stupid amount of backing material around the grip of the gun, preventing you from getting a solid grip in the holster. Avoid these, or plan to cut the backing material away when you get it. These holster may be comfortable, but they will inhibit access.

Decide where/how you want to carry. Behind the hip at a cant, on the hip at a cant, straight up on the hip, appendix, etc.

I find kydex comfortable behind or infront of the hip (4:30 or appendix), but not comfortable IWB at 3:00. Kydex can be lined with moleskin or neoprene glued to the body side of it, too.

With regards to holsters, buy a good one. The "tuck this" is NOT a good one, no nylon holsters are.

I currently use a CCC Shaggy for appendix carry, and a Raven Phantom with 0 cant OWB at 3:00. I used to use a Desantis Scorpion behind the hip for a year or better, IWB. Look at Galco for IWB leather holsters - solid quality without the lead times of some of the more exclusive manufacturers.
 
The VMII was nice, real nice but it just didn't do it for me. Not sure I can put my finger on it. It was a beautiful holster but nobody ever seen it. I think a part of it was the fact that it was so good looking that I didn't want to get it all scratched up and sweaty where as my supertuck is meant to be stained and ugly.

I don't know. Wish I could help more and pin point the exact reason. I guess it just wasn't as comfortable to me and the fact that I was worried about getting it torn up made my decision to get rid of it easier than I ever thought it would be.

I really like the Minotaur MTAC holster sold by Comp-Tac.

It's a kydex/leather hybrid. Very comfortable and reasonably priced.

That's the holster of choice for me for my M1911s. Thin and very tuckable.

I own most of the major brands, including VMII, Bladetech, Don Hume, etc., but the Minotaur is light, secure and flexible.
 
I carry my G23 in a Blade-Tech IWB kydex holster with pull-the-dot belt loops. I've been using this one for over 12 years with no complaints or noticeable wear. I alternate between my Galco gun belt and my S.O.E Gear Riggers Belt.

Supertuck all the way. Plus it will fit and regular 9, 40, 357 Glock. Very comfortable. Have had a few and they are just plain great.
