Description
The BLACKHAWK Stache IWB in Size 76 is one of those holsters that gets carry right without overcomplicating it. Molded from impact-reinforced polymer rather than cut from flat Kydex, the shell is thick where it needs strength and thinner everywhere else. That means a slim profile, rounded edges that don't dig into your side, and the kind of comfort that makes you forget you're wearing it. It's shaped for the Glock 48, and it also drops in nicely for the S&W M&P Shield EZ9 and Equalizer 9.
What really sets the Stache apart is how much it lets you tweak. The truly ambidextrous body has mounting points on both sides, so lefties and righties get the same setup with no compromise. The J-style belt clip adjusts for height and cant, letting you run it low, high, straight, or tilted depending on whether you carry appendix, strong-side hip, or small of back. Nothing about it forces you into one position.
Adjustable Retention on the Stache IWB
Retention comes from friction-based tension screws you can turn to your liking. Snug it down for a locked-in feel or back it off for a faster, cleaner draw. Reviewers consistently note how secure the pistol sits even during running or active shooting, while the draw stays smooth with no snags. A low-profile shirt guard comes standard to keep your cover garment out of the way and protect the grip from sweat.
Room for Optics and Upgrades on the Size 76 Stache
If you run a red dot on your slide, this holster has clearance for most popular handgun-mounted RDS optics. The Stache is also the base of a larger system, working with Discreet Carry Concepts Gear Clips and Blackhawk's own add-ons like the concealment claw and magazine carrier if you want to build out a full appendix rig down the road. This Base Kit ships with the holster and a 1.5-inch clip, giving you a solid, dependable foundation to start from.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pistols fit the Stache IWB Size 76?
The Size 76 shell is molded for the Glock 48, and it also fits the S&W M&P Shield EZ9 and the Equalizer 9. If your pistol runs a slide-mounted red dot, this size has clearance for most popular RDS optics. Match your firearm to the fit before ordering to be sure.
Can I carry the Stache IWB left-handed?
Yes. The Stache is truly ambidextrous with mounting points built into both sides of the holster, so left and right-hand carriers get the exact same setup. You just move the belt clip to the side you need and adjust cant and height from there.
Does this Base Kit come with a magazine carrier or claw?
No, the Base Kit includes the holster and a 1.5-inch J-style belt clip only. The concealment claw and magazine carrier come with the Premium Kit, but they can also be added separately if you want to build a fuller appendix rig later. Blackhawk designed the Stache as a modular system, so upgrading down the road is easy.
How does the retention work on the Stache holster?
Retention is adjustable and friction-based, controlled by tension screws you can tighten or loosen to your preference. Snug it down for a more secure hold or back it off for a quicker draw. Users report the pistol stays locked in during active movement while the draw remains smooth and snag-free.
