AIWB favorite firearm

[UNK]

What is your favorite firearm 9mm doublestack for AIWB.

[LOKNLOD]

Glock 19 or 17 cut to 19 grip.

[guymontag]

Walther P99. It's pretty, and it has a mobile striker indicator BRO!

[Sero Sed Serio]

HK P2000 or P2000SK when I'm feeling sneaky

[RMF]

P2000sk v2 it is.

[YVK]

HK P-series LEM guns, my personal preferences P30>P30L>P2000>P2000sk. Polymer for weight reduction benefits, hammer, long trigger travel and self decocking nature of LEM for safety margins, flush hammer fit for better profile, everything that's been rehashed here many times.

[Nephrology]

Probably my Shield or J frame. I usually carry a Glock, but those 2 basically dissolve when placed into an AIWB holster.

[Dismas316]

229 EE or legion

[JohnK]

Sad to say, P30 LEM. Sad because my beloved 1911 is my fav. I just think there is more safety features with the HK.

[CDFIII]

I too prefer the HK LEM guns. My favorite is the P2000 V2. Same size as a G19 with the increased reliability that HK provides is to me the perfect set up. I also carry a P30 magazine with TF +5 extension for my reload or a P2000 magazine with a TF +5. I was running a P30 LEM but after shooting the V2 P2000 and carrying it for a bit I made the switch. Gun is smoother than the P30 against the skin and just a bit smaller which makes concealing it AIWB easier than the P30.

[SteveB]

HK P2000 V3; carries small, shoots big.

[breakingtime91]

P2000 TLG lem :cool:

[Welder]

PX4 Subcompact w/ stealth levers.

[joshs]

G19 w/ Gadget.

[SecondsCount]

P2000 or P30 V2 LEM

[Casual Friday]

Let me be the first in this thread to say the P2000, particularly the 9mm LEM.;)

[scw2]

G19 w/ Gadget.

Do you shoot your G19 in competition, or are you running a G17/G34 for competition and relegate the G19 to carry duty?

[StraitR]

While the LEM trigger system is definitely a work in progress for me, at this point, the P30 LEM is my idea of a "perfect AIWB pistol". The hammer + long trigger pull has really eased the concerns that have crept in with glocks over the last few years. Now whether or not my idea of a perfect AIWB pistol is a workable solution for me is yet to be determined, as the jury is out in terms of progressive performance gains. Two gadgets will be in my mail box sooner or later, and we'll see if that changes things.

[1986s4]

Unfortunately I don't have a double stack for AWIB, I use my Sig P225.

[Rustin]

Not a big fan of double-stack iwb. If only there were more double stacks that were as slim as a high-power...

Why isn't there a polymer hi-power with a 1911 trigger and a 4.25" bbl? Id carry that everywhere. Or a polymer 1911 sans grip safety and a hi-power type tilting bbl lockup...

[UNK]

I agree about the hi power. Heres a thread you might be interested in. https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?18929-Sig-320-Poll-and-improvement-request-list

Same pistol I use for just about everything. HK VP9. It is my do-everything gun.

Don't you do it!

[StraitR]

haha. I really like the P30 and the LEM for all the reasons mentioned, and more, so I won't jump ship easily. I just need to find the patience to work through it. It's hard to take a few steps back at this point, and you know the details as to why.

PS. We need to talk GSD's. I'm thinking I'll start a Romper Room thread soon.

[joshs]

Do you shoot your G19 in competition, or are you running a G17/G34 for competition and relegate the G19 to carry duty?

I shoot the G19 in competition, too. I don't even own any larger Glocks anymore. For competition, I do use G17 mags, and I'll probably get some of the 140mm Pmags for shooting limited in USPSA.

Sounds good, Im sure others like LL will jump in.

[Sam]

G19 for now. I just picked up a P30 LEM for all the reasons mentioned here. This will be my third try with a P30 and admittedly I did not give the gun the patience or the effort I should have before.

[Mitch]

P2000 V2 ftw.

GSDs ftw, too.

S&W 6946.

[camsdaddy]

Glock 19

[Kyle Reese]

Glock 17 / 19, SIG P226 / 229, Beretta 92, Walther PPS.

Carried them all AIWB w/o any problems.

[ubervic]

SIG SP2022

[43Under]

G19, sometimes a G26. G43 might be purchased soon.

If I had to have a DA/SA pistol, I'd use a CZ PCR or P07.

[CCT125US]

P2000 v2

[Paltares8]

Ruger SR9c. But honestly I think I'd carry any gun that I would carry AIWB. Its just what I'm comfortable with now. Also carry my CZ P07 Duty.

[kcevans]

HK P2000 V3 9mm

[Andy in NH]

Glock 17 cut to 19 grip.

That's mine.

[RMJack]

Oddly enough,

The G34 'sits' better than the G19 for me. The longer barrel snakes past Willie, and points to the side of Mr. Scrotum. I'm much happier with that arrangement over my G19 that seems to push into to the middle of my wedding tackle. Unnerving, and I'd hate to deny the Mrs. one of the great joys in life.

I like having something long enough to (hopefully) place past the important bits of me - that includes my femoral...

btw - I am using a Raven Edilon, which is a nice holster.

[DocSabo40]

P229 or a G43, depending on which part of summer it is in AZ.

I run everything in a G17 length holster, so it generally has the same effect, of keeping it pointed down the front and not into my pelvis, even if I downsize all the way to the G26.

[RMJack]

Good point about the G17 length holster, I think AIWB might be a time when a longer holster is better.

I know Gabe runs (or at least used to run) a Keeper, which is a full length G34 holster, perhaps for the same reason. A place for everything and everything in its place...

[DocGKR]

My favorite to carry is an M&P9 or M&P9c with an ambi safety; however I most frequently use a G19.

Doc I need to shoot with you. I want to be the one to convince you that the p2000 is the way

[1slow]

HK P30 LEM 9mm.

[JAD]

P35. Bulges less than my P30 and Glocks. I'm carrying a p30 right now, but at 3:00. When it gets a little more summery I'll go back to a commander, half AIWB half strong side.

[UNK]

When you said bulges less do you mean at the beltline or the grip? What is the slide measurement on that Pistol?

Belt line (colostomy feature). This is using a shaggy for the P35 and a wide range of top line AIWB dedicated holsters for the polymer guns. If I was a little more into the P35 I would get a JRC for it. The P35 slide is .89" -- this from the Internet, I don't have mine handy at the moment.

[UNK]

Do you often tuck your shirt? I was curious because the 320 is running the slimmest of the double stacks at 1" at the slide.

Pretty clearly the 320 is not the slimmest of the double stacks.

[KeeFus]

M&P 9 full size.

[UNK]

I'm not including lesser quality weapons that are typically not embraced on this forum. To me the Sigs HK's Glocks and others that I have omitted typically are considered for lack of a better term, duty grade, perhaps.
Which pistols are you referencing?

[JTQ]

I'm guessing, but his post listed the P35, a double stack, with a .89" wide slide. You posted the SIG P320 has a 1" thick slide. That would make JAD's double stack P35 thinner.

OK, I am new here, thought I knew how to search, I give up - what is this "gadget" you guys keep referring to?

Perhaps you are correct. So obvious I overlooked it.

Same.

Soon to try GLOCK 19 MOS with RMR and cowitness Dawson Precision night sights. Just waiting on the gun.

[JAD]

Yup. P7M13 and CZ75 too. Not to mention Para P14 etc.

[breakingtime91]

While I really like the p2000, during warmer weather it is much easier to conceal my SK. Really enjoy and shoot both of them well.

[ReverendMeat]

For me it'll be a SIG SP2022, at least once my JM "George" arrives. Haven't tried AIWB before so we'll see how it goes.

[gtmtnbiker98]

For the last six years, P30 V1 9mm and a P2000SK V2 9mm. Dress dictates the gun.

[Kennydale]

I became so enamored over my G17 (gen 4). I carry it AIWB everyday6643

[jslaughter]

Glock 26 in Vanguard 2.

Gen 4 Glock 17 in a CCC Shaggy.

My good friend GJM wanted to have his name associated with something that people stick into their pants and close to their privates, that's what it is.

I got that idea from the namesake of the Shaggy.

I dunno, "The Richard" has a certain ring to it.

Currently a p2000 but once I get my 92 compact back from Wilson Combat it my change.
