Lil Buck IWB KYDEX® Holster Review
Jan 7th 2026
Minimalist Concealed Carry Done Right
When it comes to everyday concealed carry, simplicity, comfort, and reliability matter more than flashy features. The Lil Buck IWB KYDEX® Holster from Bucks Holsters delivers exactly that—a minimalist inside-the-waistband holster designed for serious carriers who want maximum concealment without sacrificing durability or performance.
Handmade in Cape Coral, Florida, every Lil Buck holster is individually tested with the actual firearm it’s built for, ensuring a precise fit right out of the box. This attention to detail sets it apart in a crowded IWB holster market.
Premium KYDEX® Construction Built to Last

The Lil Buck is constructed from industry-leading KYDEX®, offering excellent rigidity, durability, and long-term wear resistance. Unlike mass-produced holsters with rough edges, each Lil Buck is:
-
Hand-sanded
-
Beveled
-
Buffed and polished
The result is smooth, glass-like edges that improve comfort during all-day carry and protect your firearm’s finish from unnecessary wear. This level of finishing is often reserved for higher-end custom holsters—and it shows.
Adjustable Retention for a Personalized Draw
Retention is one of the most important aspects of any IWB holster, and Bucks Holsters gets it right. The Lil Buck features two Phillips head retention screws on the front of the holster, allowing you to fine-tune the draw exactly how you like it.
Whether you prefer:
-
A tight, locked-in feel for active carry, or
-
A smooth, fast draw for daily concealment
The Lil Buck can be adjusted to match your preference with ease.
Designed for Maximum Comfort and Concealment
Claw Attachment (Highly Recommended)
The optional claw uses your belt’s leverage to pull the grip of the firearm inward, reducing printing and dramatically improving concealment—especially when carrying appendix or strong-side IWB.
Wedge Option
The soft polymer wedge (must be ordered with the holster) pushes the top of the holster back into your body. This does two things:
-
Improves concealment by reducing hot spots
-
Increases comfort during extended wear
Together, the claw and wedge make the Lil Buck an excellent choice for all-day concealed carry, even with compact or mid-size pistols.
Optics Ready & Suppressor Sight Compatible
Modern concealed carry demands compatibility with today’s upgrades, whether that be lights or optics or whatever. Every Lil Buck holster comes standard with:
-
Optics-ready cut for red dot sights
-
Suppressor height sight channel, accommodating aftermarket and suppressor-height sights
There’s no need for custom requests or upgrades—the Lil Buck is future-proof right out of the box.
Optimized Ride Height & Adjustable Cant
Bucks Holsters sets the Lil Buck’s ride height in the sweet spot:
-
Low enough for concealment
-
High enough for a full firing grip on the draw
An additional mounting hole allows you to adjust cant up to 20 degrees, making it easy to tailor the holster for appendix, strong-side, or slightly forward-canted carry positions.
Attachment Options for Any Lifestyle

One of the Lil Buck’s biggest strengths is its wide range of attachment options, making it adaptable to nearly any carry style.
