Blackhawk 40LP05BK TecGrip IWB Size 05 Black Nylon Compatible w/Glock 26/43/Ruger LC9/Springfield Hellcat/S&W Shield Plus Includes T-Handle Molding Tool/Dunk Bag Ambidextrous

The Blackhawk TecGrip IWB holster in Size 05 is a thermoformable inside-the-waistband carry solution built around guns that fit compact frames—Glock 26 and 43, Ruger LC9, Springfield Hellcat, and S&W Shield Plus. Unlike off-the-rack nylon holsters that feel generic and loose, the TecGrip lets you custom-mold the shell around your specific pistol, creating passive retention and a fit that actually matches your gun instead of fighting it. If you've struggled to find a comfortable IWB holster for a less-common compact or a red-dot equipped version of your carry gun, the moldable design cuts through the frustration.

The holster's engineering stacks multiple layers to handle the job: a tacky outer surface that grips your body and clothing without needing a belt clip, high-density closed-cell foam for all-day padding, a thermoformable Memory-Lok core that you heat and shape to your gun's profile, and a low-friction 600 denier polyester interior liner that resists wear. The low-cut sight channel is optimized for mounted optics, and the ambidextrous design with low-profile shirt guard works for left- or right-hand carry. The kit includes a T-Handle molding tool and a dunk bag to safely heat the holster to its thermoforming temperature—the process is straightforward, like custom-molding a sports mouth guard.

For hunters, shooters, and concealed-carry enthusiasts who run compact guns or have added an RDS to their carry piece, the TecGrip's customizable fit solves the common problem of retention and comfort trade-offs in standard nylon holsters. You get real security without the bulk or the need for external clips.
