Might one of you good folks clear up some confusion for me please?
Question is, what exactly defines an IWB holster? I am pretty certain the acronym stands for 'in the waist band', yes? But does that distinguish it only as being attached to the belt/waist as opposed to a shoulder or ankle rig, or is it something else? Some holsters can be clipped to a belt, some have the belt actually be threaded through straps on the holster...What of the pancake variety? I have a cheap Uncle Mike's, where the paddle part goes between my pants and shorts, but it that considered an IWB holster, or not...?
Thanks for any insight,
Leighton
