    Simply put, most people who want to buy a kydex holster don't know what they don't know. There are so many differences in material, grain, and overall longevity that people simply do not understand enough when they make a decision to buy a holster.

    I won't deny that! I admit I don't know what i'm talking about or what i want. I mean i know what i think i want, but as you said, i don't know what i don't know. This community has been great in giving me some insight, at least getting me pointed in what i feel is the right direction now. I mean damn, a week ago I thought i wanted a super rigid belt and a sidecar style holster and was even willing to pay more for it lol.

    Makes sense. I'll be taking you up on that. Should I wait until Monday to call? Your site says you prefer email and doesn't list a phone # so just let me know. Thanks!

    There is a lot of full derp AIWB shit out there now. Let's break the integral mag pouch thing down in to a pros and cons list.

    Pros: Only have to put one item on instead of the agony of putting on a holster, then the mag pouch.

    Cons: Literally everything else.

    It is cool that guys make neat stuff, I like neat stuff. I think Phlster made a dual AIWB Glock holster. "That's cool!" Then I went back to doing what I was doing. No place in comfort, concealability, ability to easily decide "I don't want to carry a spare mag today" (gasp!) etc. If you don't carry a gun very much or wear a mumu when you do, it's a great option. And definitely looks cool in IG pics. Maybe in red carbon fiber even.

    I put this stuff out there in the same realm as the guys insisting the Incog is still one of the best AIWB holsters made. It is, until you try almost anything else.

    What mag pouches are you guys using that puts the mag is a similar position as the sidecar that's stable and tuck-able?

    Jesus, it's like a built in tray so you have a place to set your Monster and your can of Cope.

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    Please return your tray tables to their upright position...
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    Depending on what I'm doing, how I am dressed and where I'm going I occasionally take advantage of something I usually have, pockets.

    The set up on that rather solid man is printing like Gutenberg's Press.

    No, thank you.
