That is an absolutely beautiful holster and belt. I looked at that set up several times over the past year or so and didn't buy it because it looks like an open carry rig. Is it or am I mistaken...please let me know as I may reconsider. I realize you can wear a jacket or the ole Hawaiian shirt over it, but I lean more towards inside the waist ban type rigs.

The HF1 rig in Tuckers web page will conceal very well. I have 2 of those holsters. One is plain & the other tooled. The tooled one is the one in my signature line. I cover w/ a vest most oall the time but in the real heat of the summer I do occasionally wear a Hawian shirt. You will need more length on your cover garment w/ the OWB than the IWB. IWB is more comfortable to me & a quicker & easier draw.

My .02cents & some think it worth about half that.

longtooth,

The extra bit of wrap around leather with the attached Texas medallion looks really nice, but I wonder if it causes the holster to be a bit less concealable by virtue of it's extra bulk?

Very nice rig

I can see that it might if you are covering w/ something thin, tight or clingy.

I will tell anyone that OWB is not for everyone.
Since I am a Country boy & dress w/ a western style, starched & ironed, vest almost exclusively, it is a non issue. 2 examples:

This one I dont remember what I have under it for sure. Probably a 4"1911.


This one I took only as an example to show that you can carry a really BIG gun if that is what you want or need to do. Under this vest I had a Ruger GP100 w/ 4 inch barrel & bullet loops on the holster. It covers & conceals fine w/ quality gunbelt & good leather holster. The vest is lined, starched & ironed. You cannot cover this gun w/ thin hawaiian shirt that "fits".
I have carried this gun when doing training, demos, or to show that it can be done.
Not my choice for daily carry but if a guy has a 4" revolver, just got his CHL, cant afford a new gun, he can still carry it & cover w/o getting busted. Not a heat of the summer rig for sure in this picture.


Here is the gun & holster. Again I confess that OWB is not for everyone. Some have to dress in tucked white shirt. Desantis Tuck This, Crossbread Tuckable (I have 2 ) are not for me.

Tucker is junk. None of you should buy them.
That way, the wait won't be so long when I order my next one.

I've got The Answer IWB holster for my Kimber Ultra CDP II and think it's the most concealable holster I've ever tried, and very comfortable and well-made. That's my #1 concealment holster. I've also got one of their Bullhide Gun Belts which is the stiffest gun belt I've tried, just what's needed to support and distribute the weight of a pistol for all-day carry and/or fast draws. And I have their Single IWB Mag Pouch, another well-made product.

The Silent Thunder Champion is very high on my wish list. And someday I hope to get an HF1 similar to the OP's, with matching belt and mag pouch.

So yeah, I'm a fan.

You beat me to it. Inquiring minds want to know! C'mon. 'Fess up! We promise not to tell your wife.

I got one and it is a great holster!

Well darnit! My Christmas list grows ever longer. I didn't even know what a Silent Thunder Champion holster was. After looking at the website, I've added it to my list.

I shoot USPSA and want it as a competition holster for Single Stack division. Right now I'm using my leather pancake from Kirkpatrick, which is a great holster but not nearly as fast.
