It is. It can handle more, but I typically only have a lite J-Frame or LCPII in it anyway.
I just can't stand any more bulk in my pants than I already got!

I'm in the "no soft covers for the trigger area" crowd. That's my paranoia.It is. It can handle more, but I typically only have a lite J-Frame or LCPII in it anyway.

I feel kinda like a bum being untucked...but sometimes...well, a bum with a gun isn't all that bad, I guess. 
I've found that tucking the shirt deep (with a tuckable clip, of course), and then pulling it back up just a little bit all the way around gives the muffin top room to breath and just enough blousing to help hide the pistol.
Patterns and dark colors seem to help...and the bulk of my "wardrobe" is light solids

For all the “tucked-in” carry practicioners that have responded thus far in this thread with their go-to methods, if you haven’t already can you please upload pictures of the end product? I can’t wrap my head around logistically how it would look with a tucked in polo or dress shirt, both of which has been my preferred work wear for the last 36 years. People have definitely noticed over the last 6 months or so my current untucked baggy style transformation.
I’ve found researching holsters, companies are very fond of telling you how great their “tuckable version” is while only showing pics of the holster on a table, or on a model with the shirt completely tucked-in behind the gun/holster (no attempt at tucking any shirt over the assembly as intended).
I’m particularly interested in what “tucked” appendix IWB looks like.

That’s not concealed, we can still see it... My understanding is that the point of “tuckable” holsters is to “tuck in your shirt” IN FRONT OF THE GUN as you normally would wear the shirt, while concealing the weapon, not place the shirt behind the firearm.
I can do this with my non-tuck AIWB holsters.

I misunderstood Your post! No mention of it being concealed but i understand Your question after rereading what you wrote.
Understood. The “tuckable” holsters have the mounting screws located UNDER the belt, with the clips open at the top, providing a slot for your shirt to slide in and be gripped or held down by the clip(s), allowing the shirt to cover the whole assembly. I’ve never seen a holster manufacturer show a picture of what that in fact this looks like, but they often make these pie in the sky concealment claims, which I am fairly skeptical of. The pic you posted is typically the type of pic they show to advertise their “tuckable” models, which clearly aren’t depicting any type of concealment whatsoever.
I’m skeptical that this wouldn’t just look like a big metallic lump at the waist line.
I’m also not eager to start ripping holes in my dress shirts at the point of the metallic clips. I'm assuming these clips are as robust as the ones on my current AIWB holsters, which may not play nice with my shirt tails.
I’m simply curious how this whole method works.

This is just for demonstration purposes. I never 'tuck' with a t-shirt and my button downs are tuckless. There is ample space and flex in this Vedder Lighttuck for a dress shirt to be tucked in.

That's not a "tuckable" holster.
Nice floor. Who’s your guy?

While many of these "tuckable" holsters are exactly that, they still show the clip over the belt which is a no go for me. Pocket carry with a micro compact is the best option I have come up with so far for when I need to wear a tucked in shirt.

I say go balls deep if you need to tuck in a shirt. Go with the suit coat and a shoulder holster. That or yeah, a micro/derringer and a pocket holster.

We can still be friends. You are seeing a mirror image.
Oh thanks Christ.
Most of the time I have a DAO revolver in there. One can shove a piece of plastic in there and sew it in if they wanted to…
