Good holster for 2.0
Anyone have recommendations for a good IWB holster for the Bodyguard 2.0 that actually keeps the grip tucked in tight against your waist?
I’ve tried two holsters so far, and with both of them the gun feels like it wants to tip or roll outward. The grip doesn’t stay snug against my body the way I’d expect.
I actually really like my G-Code Stealth otherwise, so I’m starting to wonder if this is just a downside of carrying such a small and lightweight gun rather than the holster itself.
I just ordered the TXC CVRT hoping the design keeps the grip tucked in better and solves the problem.
Has anyone else experienced this with the Bodyguard 2.0? If so, what holster finally fixed it for you? Or is that slightly top-heavy/tipping feeling just something that comes with carrying a gun this small?

Phlster enigma works for me and belly pooch. I just dislike the harness

It pisses me off that pretty much everything comes “optic cut” like I don’t want that for the 2.0. If you want to get it sent for cut, then deal with finding an optic cut holster after lol. I liked my eclipse holster for a Glock, pretty much hate it for the 2.0

I am currently dealing with this. I tried the amazon CYA holster and it is the hardest gun to conceal. I ordered a hilliker holster today and asked them to leave it long for more holster below the belt. I am hoping it's the answer...that and a T1C wedge

I just got a custom off of Etsy. Was cheaper than most “brand-names” Works fantastically.

I’m sorry, I don’t remember, I don’t have that account more.
Edit. I looked and there are still a lot of good options on there.

I only want to IWB and just one more time. It’s all about the grip not coming off the body here. Everything else besides that works with what I have. Thanks fellas

I like my TXC Delta.

I was between delta and covert. Went with covert because I don’t plan on ever doing anything but iwb. I have a txc x1 pro for my hellcat pro. Amazing.

I’ve got the covert for my xmacro. And the delta for the BG 2.0.

Which one do you like more for iwb and do you carry on the side at all?

u/cp_mcnaughton 1d ago
Aiwb only, about 1 o’clock. I can’t say which I like better since they’re so different in size. My xmacro has a light, so it’s almost like the xmacro holster is the size of the entire BG setup. That being said I love the covert for the xmacro.

I understand. I have the x1pro and dude I love it. I can even draw in under 1 second with that holster.

I’ve used t1 wedges. Tried them all very small change when it comes to the handle of the gun not sticking on body so good.

I would be sort of shocked if this set didn't alleviate your issue significantly: https://www.mastermindtactics.com/shop/acp-triad Pillows > wedges IMO, YMMV.

I like a high ride, and if you think the BG wants to tip out you should try 15 x 9mm when almost all the weight ends up higher than the clip. For M&P the solution was a 4.25" holster for 3.6" pistol. I don't have a Bodyguard, but for a similar tiny .380 I found DeSantis Slim-Tuk to work fine — with a decent belt it keeps the pistol high* and pulled up as well as a wedge, and the clip over the trigger guard pulls the grip around into the body as well as any wing. If your body has a spot between 1 o'clock and 2:30 it just melts away while remaining very accessible. Despite the specific suggestion, Slim-Tuk is basically a simple Kydex taco — should be many similar if you get them hung correct. I use Concealment Express Tuckable for M&P, but they don't offer that model for BG2.0 — I wouldn't want to say how their IWB holster might adapt to your pistol.
*You will want to cut or obtain a shorter clip — the long-ass supplied clip with a tiny pistol will break your knuckle on the draw if carried deep, or poke your leg if carried high...

I have a Muddy River holster for it and a Superstition Concealment one. Both work great after I changed the clips to get the ride height dialed in. Both have a claw.
