After watching the self immolation of one holster maker whose products I had been eyeing, I requested the below from a holster maker. I'll be trying it out this weekend at a Failure2Stop (http://f2sconsulting.com) carbine class. I will update this thread with more pictures and a review.

I used this at the private F2SConsulting (http://f2sconsulting.com) class in High View, West Virginia this weekend.

Concealed great, comfort was so-so until I borrowed a classmate's G17 due to my G19's rear sight not staying in place. The G17 was far more comfortable due to the protruding muzzle adjusting how the holstered weapon rode. The designer was on hand and making notes and already has a design change planned to fix the ride height on a G19. I also suggest a change to a 20 degree cant as opposed to a 25 degree cant. I really like how I can switch to OWB if needed. I will add that due to bone graft surgeries I've endured in the past; my hip area is far more sensitive than other folk's.

I wanted this holster for carbine specific classes and for horseback riding and other outdoors activities. I wanted something on my hip that I could still conceal (as opposed to OWB which is very wardrobe specific). I still think that AIWB is the fastest and best concealed form of carry but I am not so dogmatic as to believe that it's the only way for everything.
