I'm well into my tuckable IWB for (initially) my Glock 19. I've come up with what appears to be a workable mount for the standard Tandy belt clip.

The problem that I've run into was that I attempted to duplicate the way the clip is actually attached on my Don Hume 715Ms and the garbage Bianchi that was my first IWB. They use a piece of leather and a piece of plastic sewn over the clip, respectively. I'm mounting the clip to a sort of reverse paddle, but the concept should be the same. The problem that I ran into is that using the same ~1/8th" leather for the paddle and for the clip retaining piece doesn't allow the clip to actually be slipped over the belt and pants. I spent a bunch of time yesterday cutting the retaining piece which didn't work. I eventually punted and riveted the clip to the paddle, which seems to work ok.

What's the secret to using a leather retaining piece? Thinner leather in the piece?

This holster looks like it's going to turn out pretty well. I'm looking for ways to make successive versions better.

Thanks.

They sell a clip with a deeper belt slot.
