AIWB Long Slide (G34) Group Review and Comparison

[Ob1sbo]

Hello Pistol Forum! This will be my first "relevant" post. I have noticed a lack of reviews pertaining to carrying a long slide pistol (in my case G34) exclusively. This thread will document my testing and evaluation of four holsters. I will be objective and straight forward. I however would like to note that with criticism I hope to potentially offer solutions or questions to the manufacturer. This thread will not be used to "rail" or bash any company but potentially help a buyer or two make a decision.

While holster quality is important in comfort, I believe a belt can be a huge factor. With that said I will be using a Magpul Tejas 1.5 for this test. this should serve as a decent backbone.

I'd add a Wilderness 5 stitch belt as well as a Volund Slim into the mix. I think in most cases the Tejas belt is a bit too rigid for AIWB as it doesn't have the flex necessary to allow the AIWB features (belt wedge and claw) to work well and may either fight the features too.

I will have to try those thank you. I have had good luck with rigid belts as I have a beer gut. But I think I will have to try some other options.

Search for Mr_White, and you will find pages and pages of his long term experiment exclusively with a G34 carried AIWB.
