Carrying AIWB with a holster that doesn't have a reinforced mouth for re-holstering seems like the begins of a how I shot my dick off thread.

I hear this a lot "have to be able to reholster it!" BS. You have all the time in the world to reholster. If you are reholstering, the threat is over. Take your time.
It's all these idiotic "yank, fire, ram into holster" videos, trying to mimic a western quick draw, that are utter nonsense.
I like Kydex holsters, and that's all I use. But I'd never tell someone NOT to use a soft shell holster for the reason of reholstering (for the above mentioned reasons).
It's quite easy (and even something people often do with AIWB hard holsters). The answer is... wait for it... TAKE THE HOLSTER OFF. Yep, you take the holster off, reholster, and put the holster back. BAM! Solved. No dick shot, no femoral artery bleed out, nothing.
I blame all these super duper tactical overacting videos for people thinking reholstering is a "thing". It's not. You draw, end the threat, then take all the time you need/want to reholster it.
