Description
For folks who want a soft, comfortable holster that disappears under a shirt without breaking the bank, the DeSantis Pro Stealth N87 has been a go-to for years. It's built from premium padded ballistic nylon that sits gentle against your skin, so you can wear it open-to-close without that dug-in feeling you get from some harder rigs. This particular version (model N87BJE1Z0) is cut to fit popular compact carry guns like the Glock 26, 27, 29 and 30, the S&W Shield in 9mm/40/45, the Springfield XDS, Taurus GX4, Mossberg MC1-SC, and the Naroh Arms N1.
What Makes the Pro Stealth N87 Carry So Easy
The backbone here is the 1 3/4-inch powder-coated black spring steel clip. It bites down onto your belt and stays put through your draw, so the holster doesn't come out with the gun. The nylon body flexes with your movement instead of fighting it, which is a big part of why so many carriers keep this one in the rotation for daily wear. Slide it inside the waistband, clip it over the belt, and you're set.
Ambidextrous by Design
One of the best things about the Pro Stealth is how easy it is to switch. The clip can be removed and reinstalled on the opposite side, so lefties and righties both get a proper setup out of the same holster. On the autoloader models, you also get a spare magazine pouch sewn onto the front, which puts a reload right where you can reach it without carrying a separate mag carrier.
Simple, Proven, and Built to Last
This is a no-nonsense holster that's earned its reputation on comfort and durability rather than flash. The ballistic nylon holds up to years of everyday use, and the smooth interior lets you draw clean. If you ever want added security, DeSantis offers an optional thumb break (style N99) sold separately. For a soft IWB that just works, the Pro Stealth N87 is tough to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions
What guns does this Pro Stealth N87 (N87BJE1Z0) fit?
This specific model is cut for compact carry pistols including the Glock 26, 27, 29, and 30, the S&W Shield in 9mm, 40, and 45, the Springfield XDS, Taurus GX4, Mossberg MC1-SC, and Naroh Arms N1. DeSantis makes the Pro Stealth in several other fit numbers, so if you run a different gun, check that the model number matches your pistol before ordering.
Can I use the Pro Stealth N87 for left-hand carry?
Yes. The holster is fully ambidextrous, and the spring belt clip can be removed and reinstalled on the opposite side for left or right hand carry. That makes it a nice option if you switch carry positions or want one holster that works either way.
Does the Pro Stealth come with a spare magazine pouch?
Autoloader versions include an integrated spare mag pouch sewn onto the front of the holster, so you can carry a reload without a separate carrier. Keep in mind that Pro Stealth models built to clear red dot optics do not include the magazine pouch.
Is the padded nylon comfortable enough for all-day carry?
That's the whole idea behind this design. The padded ballistic nylon body is soft against the skin and flexes with your body, which is why plenty of carriers wear it from morning to night without complaint. If you want added retention, the optional N99 thumb break is sold separately.
