I just went through the same transition. Comp-Tac MTAC in the 4 o'clock position to full kydex appendix.
Make sure you practice a lot if you are going appendix. DYOD I like it much better and the key is to have a good holster and find the "sweet spot". Now I don't even feel it. To me it is more comfortable. I went with Dale Fricke Archangel. Love it! 15% off for Veteran's Day. |

I carry my Glock 42 in a holster similar to the Raven Concealment Vanguard II. Its a minimalist style trigger guard holster but its secure and comfortable. It just uses a soft loop and loops around your belt, so a good sturdy belt would be a good idea, but can be utilized with a soft belt.
Plus, with a price of $34.99 its hard to beat.  |

Currently running a Contact Concealment AP holster for a Glock 27. So far it has been pretty comfortable and holds the 27 really secure. Turn around time for it was about 5 weeks.
Have the G-Code INCOG for my 22 and it is pretty sweet as well. Would be running one for the 27 but had the AP first so I did not feel like I needed to replace the AP for the INCOG. |

I bought a couple from a place called on your six. Fast shipping and only 30 bucks but I needed to round off the bottom since they leave a corner that pokes me. My favorite is the Alabama holsters hooker model.

Jm custom kydex. Ding! In at least G17 length. The longer the holster body the more comfortable in my experience. |

I've heard this a few times now. Why is that? Seems like for AIWB shorter would be more comfortable. I'm going to order something for my G26, but I'm wondering if maybe I should get it in a G19 length.

Sentinel Custom AIWB is my favored holster so far. I also have a raven vanguard 2 but dont find it as comfortable.

Go for a g19 length, but be aware the frame around the take down area is slightly different. Most people only think the difference is length. I try to make everyone aware of this when they order from me. The added length of the holster will stop the gun from wanting to "flop" out over the belt. |

You can ride the G26 higher if you put it in a G19 holster.
JM, CCC Shaggy, and Archangel have wedges that help tuck the grip in. That's why they are recommended over others for AIWB.

The extra length sits in the crease of my leg when seated, etc. and keeps the muzzle off my body 95%+ of the time. I like that. Otherwise when seated, the muzzle is pointed right at my pelvic crease. And keeps the gun from rolling over the belt line as mentioned. |

Thanks so much for all the replies. I've been doing a lot of research on this. I'm leaning toward a AIWB from JM Custom Kydex. Just trying to decide on the length, as well as a few other options.

My holster is a G17 length, extra tuck, medium sweat guard, 1 3/4 split loop. I ordered a G34 length to give it a try but it is just too long for me and my active job. Yesterday I spent a few hours belly crawling through an attic crawl space about 18" high and made dozens of trips up and down ladders. The G17 length holster was as comfortable as possible while carrying a full size G17 for 12 hours. |

Great info, thanks. I'm actually thinking about going with a G17 holster for my G26 since it seems to be the sweet spot for comfort and stability. Did you get the .080 kydex or .093?

Thanks. Do you use the standard ride height belt loop or the high ride? I'm thinking I should get the standard, but I don't want it to ride so low that it's hard to draw. I think the high ride would probably be too tall for my taste however.

You might check out the new jm custom George it will let you play with the ride height |

Thanks, I was looking at the George as well. After talking to Tony it turns out if you order the standard AIWB in the .093 it will come with both sets of holes, just like the George. I'm just trying to decide if I want the .093 thickness. Also trying to decide on the wedge size. Since I plan on carrying a G26 I'm thinking a minimal wedge, since there isn't much grip to tuck.

Ended up placing an order for the JMCK AIWB. Lots of options, but I went with the .080 thickness, Glock 17 length, full sweat shield, OD green color, standard height 1.50 split loop, extra tuck option, and I specified a small to minimal wedge since the Glock 26 grip is so short. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.
