I use the Aholster as well. I use it for a G26 when I'm lounging around the house in a pair of shorts. On occasion I'll carry it out and about when my manner of dress precludes belt carry but those occasions are few and far between (weddings, funerals, etc). I like it a lot and what everyone has said about its minimum bulk and ease of use is true for me. I didn't grind off the front hook on mine. I just wrapped it in moleskin and so far I haven't damaged any pockets.
