    Just completed an out of state trip with a Gen4 G22 in the same Safariland 27 AIWB was using at the start of this thread, sitting in a cramped Subaru back seat. I concealed under a t shirt, no problem.

    The Safariland 27 is available and inexpensive if you want to try AIWB and don't want one of the custom holster's price and wait times. It is Safarilaminate so it's comfortable against your skin, has an adjustable cant J hook, reinforced holster mouth so you can reholster easy, is available for a lot of different guns, and did I mention it is available and you can actually purchase it and use it?

    I just put my AIWB rig (HK P30 MTAC neutral cant with HK P2000SK in it) trough very extreme test - wedding in polish mountains. Dancing, jumping, dancing "snake" or "circle" with other people, etc. I had it tucked-in wearing a suit. For all time it was comfortable, I had full control and confidence where gun sits and what happen to it. Plus my GF said that even in close dance she knew that it's here, only because she knew it's there. Other girls probably tough that it's just or cellphone ... or token of my appreciation to their beauty...

    I was also driving compact car of my GF 7 hours each way - full comfort.

    AIWB is way to go. Previously I was always little worry that my carry prints or is accessible to other people - now I have full confidence with AIWB.

    I started carrying off duty AIWB in a Dale Fricke Archangel holster. It's molded for my G19, buy since that is set up for HD under the bed, my OD G26 rides in it perfectly. It's good to have options....

    Completed a 660 miles trip with 5 inch 1911 in AIWB (Shaggy), as well as one day of handgun training with it. I wouldn't say it was particularly more comfortable to drive with than conventional IWB, but advantages were obvious. No issues during training.

    On a separate note I've heard an unverified account of a student shooting himself during training recently while reholstering into AIWB. Anybody heard anything?

    I have been carrying AIWB the past few months and I prefer it because it is ideal for my body type, it is also quicker for me. However it is not ideal with the crossbreed holster I have been using. I want to order one of the shaggy holsters you guys seem to love. Just one question, kydex belt loop, leather snaps, or the standard clip and why? I want to ask before I order. Thanks in advance!

    I put in an order for my Shaggy a month or so ago, from what I read of what others are running...they are using the belt loop with the leather backing. I look forward to training AIWB.

    I have not used the "Shaggy", but based on my experience with other holsters:

    The belt loop will be the most secure, but is inconvenient if you need to remove and replace your holster during the day.

    The clip is the most convenient "easy on, easy off", but is the least secure.

    The loops fall somewhere between the other two options.

    Everything is a compromise; you have to decide what best serves your particular circumstances.

    It's not a big deal to loosen your belt and run it through the loop when you are removing or donning the Shaggy. You will after all be carrying the rig almost centerline. I've had othe AIWB holsters with various means of attachment. IMHO the kydex loop is the best. Most seccure and not hard at all to use. I highly recommend it.

    Thanks guys! I carry a SA Champion 1911 which is the 4" barrel. Would I be ok to order the shaggy set up for the colt commander which is the 4.25" barrel?

    For me, it is a big deal (I should have mentioned that I am left-handed). I know I could reverse the way I wear my belt, and I have tried that, but at my age (I'm an old f*rt), I just haven't been able to get used to it.
