[QUOTE="english kanigit, post: 2849845, member: 4701"] Finding a solution that works for AIWB is like an algebra problem where the variables are that of the gun, the persons build and the holster used. There's a solution out there for almost anybody but you've got to find the right mix and these variables change between people, guns and holsters. Like many things though there are a few solutions that work adequately well for a large cross section of folks. For example I regularly used the Vanguard2 and the Keeper. I'm 6'1" and now I'm noticeably chubbier than I used to be... funny enough this makes it easier to conceal with AIWB carry. I've carried and trained with AIWB for a number of years now. I used to test new iterations and designs for Mr Keepers as well. In my old job as a utility surveyor I used to walk an average of 12 miles a day, drive for 4-5 hours and also have to regularly crawl into underground vaults and manholes for accessing fiber optic nodes and telephone cables. In addition to this I used this same holster with a ubiquitous Glock 19 during the same job accessing telecommunications rooms in places that were very much NPEs. I wore a version of the Keeper during all of this for 2.5 years. I have a G19 Keeper and also a G17 Keeper. The latter is typically more comfortable and more stable. What you'll find is that long (i.e.- normal/duty) size guns are typically easier to carry concealed. The reason is that the slide is longer and it helps, with a properly designed holster, to anchor itself in your pants. This is especially true of AIWB. The keeper can also be further adjusted with the addition of foam wedges to the bottom of the holster to tip the top and the butt of the gun further into your body. This is one of the older variants of the Keeper immediately following Craig Douglas' ECQC class in Chandler several years ago. The cool thing about the Keeper is that it's had continual development and refinement over the years; everything about this holster is designed around concealing it effectively, and, more importantly, retaining the blaster in a fight over the gun. These are extremely durable holsters. [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56338680/LF.net/The%20Keeper/photo.jpg[/IMG] This is a G19 in the G17 Keeper holster. This is the best all-around for the glocks and it is the one I would suggest unless you have and regularly carry a G34/35 length gun.
