I could never get the incog quite right. Almost but not quite. I’ve dropped 20 pounds and I’m looking at 10 more, from 215 to hopefully 185. So I’m thinking maybe trying AIWB one more time with the Vanguard. Without the holster bulk it looks like a good possibility.

It's simply a clip that somewhat locks into place, still running it though it's paces as I've only had this one about a week or so. It seems to be pretty much as advertised, since it is made of stamped spring type steel it had a few sort of sharp edges that I deburred with a small file and sandpaper then hit with cold blue. I am liking it so far and at this point would buy another,

Nice.
I’ve only ever broken one plastic belt clip on a holster, but it’s inconvenient as hell when it does happen.

I've had a couple slip on draw using one particular leather 1.5" belt I have that is close to 1/4" thick. Retention is very good with the XL, being a picky sob I hadn't decided if it's staying on this one yet but time will tell. The CWS holster is comfy though and the 48 rides very well in it.

Picked up a Concealment Express Tuckable G48 holster. https://www.concealmentexpress.com/collections/glock-iwb-kydex-holsters/products/glock-g48-tuckable-iwb-kydex-holster

Price was right but I had some concerns going into it that turned out to be valid.

Single Clip in front of the frame isn’t my favorite but I intend for the G48 to be a slim appendix carry setup. The single clip allows too much side to side movement of the gun (for my preferences) that you dont get with a dual clip holster.

I added the wing/claw which definitely helps however, because it attaches to the retention adjustment, there is a little side to side play in the wing itself. Using the rubber washers helps keep it pretty locked in but your able to rotate it if you want. Cranking it down also cranks down the retention so you reach a limit to how tight you want it to be.

All in all for the price I paid I got what I expected. Not great but not terrible. Conceals pretty good. They make a double soft loop holster that would probably be the better way to go if you want to carry appendix.

I will probably keep the holster and use it as a shell Velcro’d inside a pack/backup use. For $36 + cost of the wing/claw which will go onto another holster, its worth it.

Also the 1.5” clip wont fit over my Esstac inner belt which is supposed to be 1.5”. Perhaps this problem is more with the belt itself as I have other clips that wont fit it either and very tight on some 1.5 loops. It does fit over all of my normal carry belts however.

Welcome10 will get you 10% off concealmentexpress order (no affiliation, just did a search before I placed my order)

I’m sure Crossbreed will if you ask. I just received a Crossbreed Reckoning for my Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS with RMR and Suppressor height sights. I was very pleased and they were running a sale so I ordered one for a 43X and I don’t even have one yet haha.

How do you like it? Is the fuzz material more comfortable against the skin than typical kydex or not enough to make a difference? Did you order it direct from Gcode? If so what was the turnaround time to make and ship?
