First developed in Israel, Fobus has a long line of synthetic holsters that are ubiquitous in gun shops across the world. They recently announced their new Inside the Waistband (IWB) line. They consist of the IWBL (large frame) and the IWBS (small frame). Instead of leather like a traditional hybrid-style holster, Fobus utilizes a synthetic flexible backer that rides between the holster and the body. Here's what they have to say about it: The holster shell, while having a degree of flexibility, is noncollapsing and allows for one-handed re-holstering. Fobus is currently offering two new models: the IWBL for large frame pistols and the IWBS for small frame pistols. Both are universal IWB holsters that do not require replacement of shells when used with different similar sized pistols. The holster’s unique flexible backing is impervious to moisture and features numerous ventilation openings. It also provides a mild, non-slip surface on both sides that serves to prevent lateral movement of the holster around the user’s waist, as well as a retention surface against the pistol. The holster firmly grips the pistol between the belt tension on the holster shell on one side, and the flexible backing that conforms to the wearer’s body contour on the opposite side. MSRP is $39.99 For more information, you can visit Fobus Holsters here Why you can trust RECOIL Since our founding in 2012, RECOIL remains the premier firearms lifestyle publication for the modern shooting enthusiast.
