I wasn't sure if I should post this here or in the accessories board, but I went with here, move it if you please. What I'm looking for is a little slim iwb holster for my p3at. I've got a great pocket holster (k&d 2in1 and nemsis), but I'm just looking for some flexibility in carry style here. I like the looks of Split decision from highnoonholsters. The price looks good for what you're getting. I'm not sure what else is out there, I did a little research on here, but couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for. I really would prefer something I could use v-clips on, just because it's a little cleaner look, although it won't be my determining factor. thanks for your thoughts.
Have you seen the IWB from K&D? I have a "Mini-IWB Defender" on order for my P3AT equipped with an Armalaser. http://www.kdholsters.com/basefile/iwb-defend.html
I don't know why I didn't think of that. That might be perfect for me. They don't offer vclips, but it appears to use standard kydex clips like my tucker texas heritage for another gun. I bet I could just get some additional vclips from somewhere and put them on. How do you like that particular holster? Comfortable, solid, tuckable?
I have a Don Hume IWB rig for my P32. It is a nice quality holster under $30.00. It comes in black too. http://www.donhume.com/Products/ProductsPage.cfm?ProductID=35
It's not listed for the P3at, but would the deminsions be close enough to accomodate a p3at in that holster if I wanted it to?

I have a FIST +1 for mine. It's a very think Kydex and has an adjustable cant. I really never carried my P3AT in it even though, like you, I wanted flexibility. It just feels silly to me to carry such a tiny gun IWB. I only carry my P3AT in a pocket holster anymore...
My KD Mini-IWB gets worn more than any other holster I own. Very comfy for extended wear. Even though I don't have a PF9 yet, the other day I ordered a KD Cochise Defender rough side out with brown shark trim for the PF9 I will buy between now and new years when the new holster is expected.

I have modified a Law Concealment Systems holster that I was using for IWB. When I put the Armalaser on wouldn't fit. Now it does. I also use a SmartCarry which works very well except for tight jeans. I ordered the K&D to fit w/Armalaser and one of their pocket holster too. Patience everyone.
Take a look at: http://www.jsholsters.com/ Some pics of my holsters. Includes a JS IWB for P3AT http://pages.prodigy.net/ceduncan/pics.html
I carry 24/7 and I thought IWB would be the main way to go. I LOVE my K&D mini IWB for the P3AT - but I never rarely use it. Either pocket carry or smartcarry have become my preferred carry for NO chance of being made. NO IWB can offer that. What I will suggest is that the high noon - which I also have - is easily tuckable but the flap is really flimsy and does not hold the holster nearly as steady as the K&D for drawing. Added for clarity: I truly never use the high noon and would not recommend it. But then it is hard to recommend any leather product after having seen the artwork that K&D puts out. -Scott
Thanks Scott for the info about the Highnoon holster. I was thinking about one as I ALWAYS wear a shirt (even t-shirts) tucked in (except sweatshirts, of course). And, welcome back Scott.................. wyo-man
While waiting for my "Mini-Defender" from K&D, I decided to modify a LAW Concealment systems holster that I used to carry an FEG in. (Traded it for the P3AT.) It was actually OK before I put the Armalaser on but then I needed to change the stitching to make it fit. Before the mod it worked great in a variety of configurations, canted, straight drop, cross draw, behind the hip, SOB. I think its a very good "make do till the one you're having made comes" kind of holster. Here's some pics to show the modification. Before ... ... and after.
