In short, because it works.
I started carrying AIWB, probably around five years ago after reading Todd speak highly of it here. I thought to my self, “well, he’s a smart guy, an accomplished shooter and his argument for it makes sense, so I’ll give it a shot.” Once I tried it I never went back. The advantages over traditional IWB carry are numerous. Not only is it by far the fastest and most accessible way to get to a gun, it’s also the best way to hide one. Partly because of my build and partly because AIWB conceals well, carrying AIWB I can make a G17 disappear under a t shirt.

When I shot competitively, all my stuff was set up that way to mirror my concealment/back up rigs. I should have clarified the IWB variants are what are heavily frowned upon in most places. I found it funny recently that Spencer Keepers and I were not allowed to shoot our front AIWB rugs from concealment in a match, because....dangerous, yet a lot of the other shooters were carry some pretty minimalist competition rigs and many angles and contorted into positions that were far more of an issue than our well made and designed AIWB carry rigs.

I don't know if I would have ever tried AIWB, if I hadn't fallen into buying some used holsters really cheap. I got three holsters for less than the cost of any one of them. One happened to be a Cry Havoc Grim and I really didn't think I'd use it much. It has become my daily carry for over a year. Sits right at 12 o'clock and is invisible.
