Appendix carry guys, what holster?

[output]

NCOG, Phlster, and silent thunder by Garret Industries are the three I wear the most.

I have loops with snaps on all of my holsters now. Whenever I've tried rigid belt clips or loops, whether bent kydex or some similar polymer, I have broken them on a regular basis. I did it so much on my beloved Ky-Tac Braveheart that David Elderton created the "rhino-proof" version with loops and snaps. After that, I either converted what I had or bought new holsters with loops.

I believe you cursed me sir.

I didn't break that.... did I?

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

I believe you cursed me sir.

Oh crap! Comp-Tac fail?

Darn me!

That is the one failing of rigid kydex belt loops and clips. It's not a matter of if they will break, but rather when they will break.

If you need rigid clips or belt loops, get something metal or injected molded from a polymer that is less brittle and with less notch sensitivity.

I believe you cursed me sir.

Has anybody been having clip issues with the INCOG's?

I don't have one yet, but the INCOG clips are injection molded, and I haven't heard of any issues with them.

Good deal! I just got my INCOG after the 10 week wait... I did get it in Kryptek Highlander so maybe thats what took so long lol

^^ On the incog my "findings" were similar, seems its not bad but there are just much better options. I had planned to buy the holster and didn't after a several other recommendations and then finally on the recommendation of a friend who had/has one. Just said that there are way better options out there for reasons with the clips and just other options functioned better for him than it did.

Only issue I have heard with the clips is the fact that they are flexible is not a good thing at least for some guys.

However I am interested to find out what all of you guys think who have one coming... Oh and turnerdye, what do you think of it?? I am going to ask the guy if I can try his out for a day or two just out of curiosity with so many mixed reviews. G-Code has a good reputation as does Haley so curiosity is peaked even more

So far I really like it a lot but I've only had it for a day now and haven't really got to carry it a whole lot. It rides nice and low but high enough to get a full grip on it easily. The "tactical fuzz" is nice and soft so it rides against the skin nicely. Really thats all I have to say on it currently just because I havent had it that long.

I've been switching my holsters and mag carriers to the pull-the-dot loops.

What's that?

 

[Vigilant]

What's that?

Rubber belt loops with a one way snap! IMO the only way to fasten IWB holsters, sheaths, and accessories!

 

[lovemachine]

What's that?

It's what is on the dale fricke archangel holster and some raven concealment holsters.

Those are snaps that only allow you to open them if you pull in the one, right direction.

Sometimes they are tough to open and close regardless of how you pull!

Almost everyone who uses loops on their holsters uses pull the dot (aka one way) snaps.

I can't imagine how AIWB is comfortable when sitting, what am I missing?

 

[natetheace]

I have made these for a couple guys, and they love them.

Hard to say. For you, it might not be comfy. I do think AIWB is more of a personal thing, vs. OWB 4pm kind of thing. Your body shape, your clothing choices, your posture, probably your chair or vehicle seat... For *me*, unless I'm carrying a full size gun WITH a threaded barrel (and I'm specifically talking about a full size 1911, a Glock 17, and a Glock 20), i more or less forget that it's there. I can't truly say I forget it, because... well, you know, but it fades away and causes no discomfort. For *me*, and with the clothing I wear, and the things I do, that extra 1/2" or 3/4" that sticks out with a threaded barrel is just enough that it starts to poke me now and then. Still tolerable, unless I've been shooting and the gun is hot, but I definitely know it's there.

While we're on the subject, if you shoot a threaded barrel and really shoot it enough to get it hot, make sure you have a holster that covers it rather than one that's open at the bottom and lets that little makeshift branding iron reach your fleshy bits. Ask me how I know. I'm pretty sure cedartop thought I was just happy to see him, but in reality, I was trying to minimize the amount of scorched flesh. Well, ok, I was also pretty happy to see him.

Pretty new to AIWB myself. I don't have a comfort issue while sitting, but the food blister does push the grip out more than I would like. While sitting in a vehicle it does not hide as well as IWB at 3:00.

So far I see it printing a lot while just standing, but then again I wear tee shirts that in all honesty should go a size higher. I was talking to a friend yesterday and he started asking about different carry positions. I flashed him and he was not aware that I was carrying at all, so maybe I am just too sensitive to the printing issue.
