Selecting a holster for concealed carry can be an arduous task, especially when you’re just starting out. There are many different models and manufacturers to choose from, and chances are, you’ll need to try on holster after holster to find one that works well for you. Making good decisions from the start can help you avoid filling up storage boxes with holsters that weren’t quite for you and your needs.

DeSantis has been developing, designing, and manufacturing some of the best-quality gun holsters that money can buy. The company prides itself on using the best American-Premium hides and the toughest synthetics available for its holsters and accessories, and the new Slim-Tuk holster continues that legacy. The Slim-Tuk is a minimalist ambidextrous Inside the Waistband (IWB) holster that is built from Kydex for ruggedness and security. With a low MSRP, it’s a great way to begin your concealed carry journey.

A unique feature of the Slim-Tuk is its use of the DeSantis tuckable 360 C-Clip. This allows the wearer almost unlimited mounting options. The 360 C-Clip hardware can easily be reversed to adapt the holster for use for either left-handed and right-handed use and features a rugged nylon clip that is designed for use belts that are 1¾ inches wide.

The Slim-Tuk is available for use with a wide range of pistols, including models from Glock, FN, Springfield Armory, Kimber, Smith & Wesson and SIG Sauer, as well as standard Government model 1911 pistols. The holster is built from the ground up with ambidextrous use in mind. All these features, when combined with DeSantis’ reputation for making quality holsters, means that the Slim-Tuk is an excellent choice for people who are new to concealed carry, but don’t know how to choose a holster for daily carry.

MSRP for the Slim-Tuk is $34.99, and more information on this product and other gear from DeSantis is available at desantisholster.com.
