    I run it with a g19 and I'm average build with a gut. I'll work on a review when I get back in town. I have some video of today but all of it is from the back so you don't really see the gear.

    Btw, I sold all my raven gear and have replaced it with Cane and Derby gear. They make real good shit!
    Based on your comments, I decided to give it a try. I ordered one early yesterday morning for my M&P .45. Around Noon, I got a call from Cane & Derby (on Sunday!) to alert me that the Coyote Brown (the color I ordered) was a thicker kydex than their other colors and might not be the most suitable for an AIWB rig. I agreed to change the color preference to "Chocolate Brown" (I just didn't want black since every other kydex holster I own is black). I was told that they would build the holster this week and probably ship on Saturday. Now that is some fast service! Once I've put it through its paces, I also will post a review.

    Any chance we could get some pictures with the holster on? I'd like to see the ride height and how well it pulls the butt of the gun into the stomach.

    That's amazing because I also placed an order for a Coyote brown appendix rig and got the same call (on a Sunday). I have to say if the holsters are anywhere near as good as the customer service, we may be on to something here. The CS rep told me that my holster would begin production Thursday and be shipped out Saturday. After hearing this I contacted Raven Concealment and canceled my order which I wouldn't get until June or July anyway. I am in the process of adding to my order with CDI equivalent products to replace the ones from Raven. I will post my impressions once everything shows up. So far I'm pretty impressed.

    So when I first started carrying years ago, I was all about appendix carry... but due to shitty holster after shitty holster, I switched to 4:00 and the incredible Crossbreed Supertuck. At the time I was also carrying a fullsize M1911.
    nowadays, I tend to carry a 4" 1911 and will be getting a Glock30 fairly soon, and im somewhat interested in re-evaluating appendix carry. I've read alot of this thread, and I wanted to ask if anyone has ever tried this holster for Appendix carry:

    Any info would be great, thanks!

    Nope, still waiting on mine too.

    I got an email from Ian over the weekend that they had equipment problems last Thursday and expected to ship Tuesday or Wednesday. Haven't heard anything since then.

    I hope this is not a bad sign!

    Spoke too soon! Right after I posted, I received an email apologizing for the delay (another equipment failure) and offering me a free mag carrier to make up for the delay.

    Maybe this is a good sign.

    I actually have a Prototype CDI Appendix Rig that I am running....at the 3 O Clock....

    I've been searching for a suitable appendix rig for years and have not been able to find one that I am comfortable enough wearing in the appendix position. I absolutely do not like non adjustable AIWB holsters. Everyone has a different body type, and adjustability allows the end user to adjust the holster to his/her body type. Previously, the closest holster that made hours of carrying my Glock 19s AIWB remotely bearable for my body type was a CompTac CTAC that I adjusted for AIWB. The CTAC however has a pretty wide footprint and the leather wings were not very rigid, which made stability less than optimal for that position imo.

    I have used the CDI holster for about a week in the appendix position. It was the most bearable appendix holster I have used (the last ones I have tried were a Raven and one from Alabama Holsters). With that said, because of a medical related issue (some AIWB holsters are excruciatingly painful for me to use, especially single clip designs) and my body structure, appendix isn't really for me. The CDI Appendix rigs adjustability actually allowed me to carry it like a standard non Appendix rig. The CDI Appendix Rig with rubber loops has actually grown to be my favorite IWB rig at the 3 O Clock position, and I carry my Gen 4 Glock 19 there every day. The holster rides VERY close to the body (more so than my old daily use Ravens with IWB attachments) at the perfect position for me to have fast consistent draws from concealment. The smaller footprint provides more flexibility in positioning as well.

    If the rig doesn't work in the Appendix position for you, at least you can use it like a standard IWB holster.

    Thanks Matt, for your comments. You make me look forward to my CDI appendix holster even more. Luckily, I am able to wear in appendix position at about 11:00 (left-handed). I have a couple of holsters now that work quite well, Tucker "Silent Thunder" (but its single clip allows it to move a little more than I like) and the AKJ/Concealco ambidextrous iwb. Neither one fits the new M&P though so I needed something new and decided to give the CDI a try.

    Got an email yesterday that they have shipped my holster.
