The TecGrip Formlok Moldable IWB Holster is constructed with moldable Memory-Lok technology allowing the user to mold the holster around their specific handgun and achieve passive (friction) retention. The tacky exterior material clings to body and fabric, providing no-clip inside the waistband carry. It’s ambidextrous with a low profile shirt guard optimizing end-user flexibility and comfort. The holster comes with a T-handle molding tool, for use in forming the holster around the gun and a heavy-mil “dunk bag” for use in heating the holster to optimal thermoform temperature range.

JK –
I seriously had my doubts, but read a good review and figured I'd give it a go — you can always return it, right? This isn't getting returned. The molding process works exactly as described (I did need a few extra minutes in the water to heat it up) – mold the warm holster to your gun, slide the sight tool in, and let it sit 10 minutes. Retention is terrific — nice smooth draw, and I shook the holster at the barrel end, gun didn't move a millimeter. But the big deal is the comfort — closest I've ever come with an IWB to "not knowing it's there". Of course you know it's there, but it is super comfortable and the backing material simply does NOT slip and slide around. I've got 2 far more complex IWB rigs that'll stay in the drawer. Simple can totally be better. IMO, $50 very well spent — size 5 molded perfectly to S&W M&P9 Shield Plus w/3.1" barrel.
