    I've used a few generations of the RCS ACS, a Looper & now a Shaggy for my full size M&P9. The Shaggy is definitely the most comfortable & conceales just as well as the original RCS holsters with the straight kydex body & strut that broke every few months.

    The leather loops on the Shaggy don't provide as much support on the belt as I would like but swapping them for Bladetech rubber loops fixed that.

    I'm very satisfied with the Shaggy. If only Rich could work up one for a WML all would be right in the world.

    What, exactly is the issue with the leather loops? If there is something that I can do with them to make a better product, please let me know. I initially purchased the loops. I am now making my own so I can make adjustments or even severe customization if needed.

    You must excuse my ignorance, but what is a WML?

    For myself, the loops are a little too wide. It makes them a little harder to adjust to position them in just the right place on my belt. Not that is can't be done, it's just that it takes extra work. Not enough to offset the comfort of the Shaggy, but it is the one thing that makes the holster a 9.5 rather than a 10 IMO.

    Question

    Due to the length and breadth of this thread I DID NOT read every page. With that out of the way, here is my query...

    I have carred AIWB (12 o'clock) since day one after I received my CCW permit eight years ago.

    I carry a G19 in an Uncle Mikes (soft) IWB holster as it is the minimalist holster I have found. I bought a Blade Tech once but it takes up to much room. For the most part my carry method is comfortable and most important accessable. However from time to time when I find myself sitting for a prolong period of time such as a movie theatre or a long car ride I find that the muzzle of my G19 will dig into the top inside of my right thigh and on occasion my left testitcal. Both of which are uncomfortable to say the least. On a side note I always wear an under shirt tucked in to act as a moisture barrier and prevent chaffing.

    What holster is recommened for this application and to help prevent the muzzle digging into tissue? Also, is their a particular belt anyone is using that is getting better results than the rest? To date I have used a run of the mill leather belt but am thinking about going to a rigger's belt since my outer shirt is always untucked.

    Unless you change the position of the holster it's going to dig at times. Unless you choose leather, that is. I've just learned to live with it.

    I use a Wilderness Instructor's belt. I prefer rigger's belts because you aren't limited to pre-set holes. Sometimes the increments are just too big (or small) with a leather belt. The rigger's belt allows you to adjust it just how you want it.

    DOH!

    I should have been able to figure that one out!

    This is one reason why I decided to start making the loops myself. Mine are just a bit narrower to allow for just enough space between to span a belt loop. The other reason was that my supplier was out of stock for 2 months!

    Any other suggestions?

    That's what I gather too from reading this thead, that I need to go leather for comfort.

    Good point about the Rigger's belt being a little more user friendly in the adjustment.

    Now which leather holsters are better for AIWB than others? Shaggy?

    WML? AIWB or no?

    It's been said before but...is there any way to comfortably AIWB with a gun with a light mounted?

    I'm inclined to say No, personal opinion of course, just because you'd be putting a larger mass into an area that works best with a very slim profile holster for just that sweet spot that one has to comfortably carry AIWB. What say the others?
