IWB Holster Break In Period???

[maroonandwhite]

I am not new to IWB but I have never had an all leather "real deal" IWB before. It is very uncomfortable about mid way through the day now and I am just wondering if this is normal and will eventually wear in. Granted this is a large heavy gun (S&W 5946) but I carried a Ruger Security Six IWB before this with no problem. I was using a single clip IWB leather holster for the security six.

It's not really the bulk of the gun that is uncomfortable. It is the hard edges where the holster stops that are digging into my upper leg. It may ride a little high but this may be necesarry since I have a 4" barrell. Any thoughts and advice would be appreciated.

I'd suggest a size larger pants, and if you don't have one, a good double layer, leather gun belt. Sounds likt it may be squeezed in too tight to your body. On the other hand, it could be a poor holster design.

I have the good belt. Maybe just too tight?? I'll link to the pic I have on here if anyone can tell on the design.

It ended up being the ride height was too high. I remedied it last night by drilling some holes in some old spring clips and mounting them in place of the loops. It sets alot lower now and feels much better. I have some permanent clips on the way from Tandy leather now.

Glad to hear you got it to work.
