Inside Waist Band (IWB) Holsters are a popular way to carry many different sizes of handguns for concealment.

It surprises me when I'm asked to build a IWB for full size 1911's, Glock 40's I've even been asked to do one for a 4" Ruger GP-100 revolver  :o

Obviously the larger the handgun and the smaller the person, it becomes more difficult to conceal.

The NAA Revolvers are small enough and conceal well for most everyone.  I have even done a IWB for a NAA Revolver for a "Dancer" that works at a local "Gentleman's Club".  ::)  It needed an Ulti-Clip so it would attach to lace and not fall off. (I've never heard of a gun belt made of lace but thats what she said she needed)  ;)

This one is Black Leather and Black Thread (a smokeless joe special!) lol!

No, I never saw the "outfit" she wears (or doesn't)  ;)  She was a nice person and really liked her Holster and NAA Revolver!

Looks great Rick. We are one of those AIWB people. Do not have a Government model 1911 but we do carry our two Commanders AIWB as well as our Berettas 92G Centurion and Compact PX4. We have even thought of possibly carrying the Python AIWB.  ::) If the pistol in question has a hammer then we will carry it AIWB.

PS: Maybe we should have you make that Python rig for AIWB Rick?  ::)

The Commanders and Berettas are only 3/4" to 7/8" thick. But the PX4 has got to be 1 1/4" thick! lol! It would be like carrying a brick in your pants! lol!!  :o

Carrying AIWB comfort level is different for everyone. It depends on the users build, clothing, daily routine, amount of sitting vs. standing, etc.

If the client has panniculus adiposus carrying AIWP, or anywhere in their waistband, is going to be uncomfortable and maybe not even possible due to the fact that they may not be able to reach the grip because of the excess adipose tissue covering it.

People of "large stature" also have difficulty carrying Cross Draw. Their arms are too short to reach across their midsection to draw their gun.

And... The number of jokes that ran through my twisted mind are endless about carrying your Python AIWB!! PRICELESS! lol!  ;)

PX4 is about the same width as the 92"s.  8)

They have some "girth" to them, compared to other guns.

I've never shot one. The people that have them usually have several Berettas.

Very nice pistols. We have two LTT versions; and yes we do have more than a few Berettas.  ::)  They shoot very well. That rotating barrel does do something when it comes to recoil. The DA trigger is about 5 pounds and the SA trigger is about 3/3.5 pounds. They appear a bit "Blocky" but not really anymore than any other pistol. More illusion than anything.
