Description
The DeSantis Insider strips concealed carry down to what matters: keep it slim, keep it comfortable, and keep it hidden. This is a right-hand inside-the-waistband holster made from soft, un-molded black leather, so instead of a rigid shell fighting your body all day, you get a supple pouch that flexes and settles against your side. The heavy-duty spring steel clip rides high on the body, which pulls the grip down into your waistband for genuinely deep cover.
Why the Insider Disappears Under a T-Shirt
The un-molded design is the trick here. Because the leather isn't formed to a single gun's exact contours, it carries a slim, low-profile shape that doesn't print like a molded rig can. Carriers who run it appendix or strong-side report the soft leather conforms to their body shape over a little wear, and the draw stays smooth without the pistol digging in during long days. It's a minimalist setup with no thumb break or hardware to fuss with, which is exactly the point for folks who want their carry gun to vanish and stay out of the way.
What the DeSantis Insider Fits
This model is built around the Glock 26, 27, and 33 footprint, and that sizing opens the door to a bunch of similar compact and subcompact autos. It also handles the Walther PPS, PPS M2, and PK380, the Taurus PT111 and PT140 G2 Millennium, and the Ruger American Compact 9mm. Plenty of owners have found it works with other pistols in that same size class too, like the S&W M&P Shield, so if your gun lands in the small-frame range it's worth checking.
Real-World Carry With the Insider
Leather like this softens and molds to you the more you wear it, giving you a more personal fit than a one-size shell. Keeping it clean is about as easy as it gets, just a quick wipe with a damp cloth now and then. For a straightforward, no-nonsense IWB that leans on comfort and deep concealment, the Insider earns its spot as an everyday carry workhorse.

Frequently Asked Questions
What guns does the DeSantis Insider fit besides the Glock 26/27/33?
This size of the Insider is built around the Glock 26, 27, and 33 footprint. It also fits the Walther PPS, PPS M2, and PK380, the Taurus PT111 and PT140 G2 Millennium, and the Ruger American Compact 9mm. Because the leather is un-molded, plenty of owners run it with other similarly sized compacts like the S&W M&P Shield.
Does the Insider need a break-in period?
The leather is soft and un-molded right out of the box, so it's comfortable from the start without a long break-in. That said, it will soften and conform to your body and your pistol a bit more the longer you carry it. A little wear time gives you a more personal, custom-feeling fit.
Can I carry the DeSantis Insider in the appendix position?
Yes, the slim profile and soft leather make it a comfortable option for appendix carry as well as traditional strong-side IWB. The high-riding spring steel clip keeps the grip tucked down for deep cover in either spot. Just keep in mind it's a right-hand holster, so it's set up for right-handed carry.
How does the spring steel clip attach to my belt?
The Insider uses a single heavy-duty spring steel clip mounted high on the holster body. You slide it over your belt and the clip's tension holds it in place, positioning the gun low for concealment. It's a simple, secure setup with no snaps or extra hardware to deal with.
