For those of you that AIWB, do you use a wedge or not? If you do, what are you using?

Yes, mastermind tactics wedges on my Tenicor Malus Sol (Glock 19 or a 1911 Commander).

I'm quite lean and find that without a wedge+good claw, the grip of the pistol can't be rotated in tight enough to conceal as I'd like it. Those with a bit more...cushion may not need it.

No wedge for me.  I'm pretty lean & I get almost no printing with a g19 in a phlster pro & zero printing with a g48 in a henry holsters flint.  I found that my big variable was making sure the claw was big enough & that I tightened my belt enough.  If I don't tighten my belt nothings going to help.  

The only holster I need to get a wedge for is my JM custom for my g19 w/tlr7a.  For some reason it seems that this one pushes out a little farther than my other holsters.  Only thing I can figure is that due to the width of the holster at the muzzle end is that its hitting my inner thigh & not rotating enough.

OP, at the end of the day you'll need to play around with whatever you're carrying to find what works for your.

I ended up buying a 3 pack of the different mastermind wedges. I'll give them a shot. I'll cut them or whatever. Never used one so we shall see. Bought one of their belts as well.

I use and love the Wedge.  It works great for those with kegs... instead of six packs.

I’m using the tier one wedges. They really shine when carrying with a full size light.

I use the larger wedge with my tier 1 holster. A little awkward at first. Takes a little breaking in, but it will eventually compress a little and works like a charm.

Does the wedge help with discomfort from a threaded barrel?

I love my gun and my holster but I’m trying to alleviate some discomfort from the threaded barrel digging into my inner thigh then running my ANR AIWB holster
