I'm looking for suggestions on an AIWB with a high ride height, preferably produced by one of our site-endorsed holster makers. Need one that's RDS compatible.
This is me wearing my JMCK WC 2.0 with DCC clips set to the highest ride height. For me it's still a bit too low and it can at times impede me getting a good grip out of the holster.

I’ve got a 17 length DSG that you’re welcome to borrow for an extended trial. I’ll try to remember to snap a pic when I get home. Seems like it has a ton of adjustability. Shoot me a pm if you want to give it a run.
The new Mastermind Tactics AIWB holster would seem to fit your need: https://www.mastermindtactics.com/sh...d-aiwb-holsterQuote:

The 2.0 is my main carry holster. I have a 17 length with DCC clips and it rides high enough for me. I'm not sure If I have set to max height or not. I also have a 2.0 34-length with PTD loops on struts that have more adjustment higher than the DCC clips. If you want a higher ride and want to stay with the 2.0, you could try with PTD loops on struts. I have my 34 length 2.0 set higher.Quote:

Having said that, if you happen to have a natural waist that is higher than the level of your normal trousers belt line, the leg Enigma’s leg leash may not be necessary, to prevent riding-up during the draw, so the Enigma’s leg leash would not be necessary. This would enable wearing any low-profile belt, such as available from Mastermind, with any decent AIWB or IWB holster that you already have. This may not do so well against bare skin, but if wearing a T-shirt or other type of undershirt, is entirely practical.
I am not claiming to have invented anything that anyone else had not already sorted-out. Let’s just say that one gets crafty, finding work-arounds to using holsters fastened to trousers’ belts, while dealing with episodes of, well, uh, frequent digestive system activity.
See GJM’s post #199, to see what I mean about the Enigma’ed holster’s ride height being independent of the trousers’ belt:

Just an idea. May not work for everyone.
You may also want to try a wedge design like JM's normal aiwb holster. It kicks the belt out further allowing you to get your middle finger in and under the trigger guard at a "normal" ride height.
Definitely not optics cut. I don't know what Tom @orion76 would charge to do the cut and send it on to you, but I'm fine with the experiment. It's a fine holster that I got from someone here on P-F, but I'm carrying IWB for the foreseeable future, so it's just sitting patiently in a drawer.
