Best Single Clip, Minimalist, Cheap-O IWB

[Bawanna]

Good 2nd report. I wondered about that very thing. The holster naturally would want to stick to your shirt. If you went to rip your shirt out of the way for a draw it would have to rip the holster out with it.
Outside the shirt with another untucked shirt over it seems like it would work well.
Seems like they had a model with a sweat guard that might work with no shirt between it and the skin but you'd still have to leave the shirt untucked.

I did buy the sweat guard model, and I'm glad I did, it also keeps the gun from poking you in the side.

And you are correct ... tucked, with an untucked shirt over it, would be the best way to use this holster. And wearing it like that this is a really good little, inexpensive (I try to never say 'cheap', and this holster certainly isn't cheap quality) holster.

I started a thread about the Remora about ten days ago when I received mine. I wasn't expecting much when I ordered it, but was pleasantly surprised that it works quite well. In fact, it's the only IWB holster that I will wear and I have a drawer full of them. I have eight 45's ranging from the P220 down to the PM45. I ordered the Style 11 to fit the larger guns, and found that they will all fit in the holster. They PM45 is so small that it's a bit hard to dig out, but the holster will carry it securely and comfortably. I don't usually carry an extra mag, but they sent me a mag carrier along with the holster. I've found that it works great for my cell phone, and I don't keep banging it into everything like before.

As some others, I don't like a gun against my skin, so I wear it outside a tucked shirt with another shirt or jacket outside.

Thanks for the review O'Dell.
I'm running out of excuses not to buy one (or two..or).

How about it Riccardo, time to weigh in with a review/pics, etc.

just sayin'

I bought the remora without the sweat guard because I #1 like the ambidextrous option as it allows my wife (righty) to possibly use the holster if she ever decided to IWB. I also liked that it was small, comparable to the DeSantis superfly, and was worried that the sweat shield version would be too large. Can you post a pic or give us some idea of the demensions of your Remora?

OK, so what about the serious problems with Remora and wearing it with a tucked shirt? This seems like a no-go for this type of holster. When you try to untuck a shirt in a emergency, odds are the gun & holster will come out with it, possibly falling to the floor since the Remora is clinging to the shirt....right?

That would be my prediction and pretty much what was determined earlier. I think an untucked shirt over it would be the only way for it to work well. Excellent concept but with some limitations.

Somebody asked for some pictures ...

Here's a few, with a few of the other Remora that I bought.
These are both reinforced top holsters with sweat guards.

Hi all,I am new to this forum as I have bought back my CW9 from a friend,I have carried for 2 years using a high noon split decision tuckable IWB,I just picked up two Remora's at a LGS.One for me and one for my wife,they are by far the most comfortable IWB for sure.More coverage on the gun to skin factor and you can adjust it up and down as there is no clip.Seems it may get a bit sweaty in the summer but my high noon does too.They are cheap enough.I am glad to have the CW9 back the glock 26 will have to sit in the safe for now.M

Also, reholstering would be difficult at best.

I hear this alot. Remora came out with a reinforced holster to solve this problem. But my question is how fast do you need to reholster a gun? Comfort, ease of draw, functionality would all be way more important to me.
