Finding the perfect holster is like the search for the holy grail and it varies soo much between the individual carrier, the gun being carried, the clothes being worn, and the activity. I got a bunch of great help from forum members here on both public posts and private messages and my personal input is technically an accumulation of knowledge from the fine members of this forum. Neatly every time there are differences of opinion on carry options on this forum, I have learned that both sides of an argument have been actually correct in spite of opposing views. Go figure.
There are some good insights in this thread

Tuckable Holster Recommendations
I have also used pocket carry during shirt tucked in options with guns ranging from service size SIG compacts to micro 380s as primary of BUGs
Pocket Carry - Spin off on Dr. EVIL PPS-G43
Here is a pic of where advice led to what seems to be great jogging, cycling, and hiking concealed options for the god awful heat and humidity. I have worn these IWB untucked and tucked with success. The two options include a Pistol Wear similar to Doc's Smart Carry. Seems to work well any where appendix to SOB but I like 4:30. The second option is the Crossbreed modular band but with Pit Viper Velcro kydex. Seems to be a great option. I have six Crossbreed modular Kydex Velcro holsters and 3 Pit Vipers. I have 3 different Pistol Wear sizes / styles. They work well. My smaller stature wife actually conceals great with them. The downside may be a bit more thickness that may bulge at the waist a bit more than Kydex or Leather in tucked situations.
This photo has 1) a Wrights Leather Works cruiser (I have a few but this is the PPS M2) and I also had recommendations on similar Ritchie Leather Nighthawk Holsters (a previous design from his partner at Alessi Custom Concealment … RIP Lou) made in our very own Buffalo area, and 2) a Ttgunleather IWB XRT , a tuckable that Tim Turner started making soon after my request (I substituted the tuckable Kydex Clips for metal Utiliclips for an even thinner profile that can go behind an optionally worn belt of your choice) and it is amazing.
This photo has 1) a SIG P225 in a Ttgunleather Slim XC (I have four of these). Again amazing and the Brown is a color match for Hanks Belts. This is not tuckable with the leather loops. And 2) a SIG P938 (shout out to cardinalny) in another Ttgunleather but I changed the leather beltloops for Milt Sparks Kydex VM2 clips that are tuckable and intended to be worn under a belt if a belt is worn. Amazing.
I can also second the recommended Vedder light tuck.
