The G30 isn't exactly small. It's about the same size as a G19, and I know quite a few people who AIWB the G19. In fact, the guy who sort of started the ball rolling on my interest for AIWB has been carrying a G19 that way both over here and over there for quite a while.
But I think it's worth reminding folks that there are inherent dangers related to AIWB, especially for guns with no manual safety and no hammer. Even well trained people make mistakes. Make a mistake holstering your AIWB-carried pistol and if you're lucky you'll only blow your privates to hell. If you're unlucky you will get to experience first hand what a femoral blow-out looks like.
- Always make sure there is nothing obstructing your holster before you put the gun away.
- Always make sure your finger is completely off of and away from the trigger before you put the gun away.
- Tilt the butt inboard as you holster, which should have the effect of pressing the muzzle outward so that if you do inadvertently touch off a round, it might go forward far enough to miss all of your important parts.
- Never be in a hurry to put the gun away. I know there are some legitimate reasons to holster a gun quickly, but they're few, far between, and not worth killing yourself over (literally).
- Practice with a dry gun approximately one million times before you put a loaded gun down the front of your pants.
- If you follow all of the above advice and still blow your dick off or put a round through your leg, sucks to be you. You were warned.

Practice, Practice, Practice drawing and holstering until it is second nature and never touch the trigger until you're ready. Thanks again.
I think I'll try a Looper AIWB. If it doesn't work for me, I'll add it to the box of holsters that I don't use.
