I have a well-loved Shaggy that is my solo CCW holster. It works great for me with virtually no need to dress around the gun.
I need a new holster and sadly it looks like Custom Carry Concepts is no more. Can anyone who has used a Shaggy in the past (or currently) name another option that fits / operates similarly?
I think the JMCK standard AIWB looks promising (would probably pass on the whole foam wedge deal) but it would be awesome if someone who has owned both could comment.
I can't speak to the Shaggy, but if you haven't tried a holster with a foam wedge, I wouldn't write it off. I'm carrying almost exclusively in either a 17 or 34 length JMCK Wing Claw 2.0. Compared to the latest version of the Tenicor Velo, the foam wedge works better at tucking the grip into the body than any of the built-in "body contours" or "teardrops" I've ever used. I also find the foam wedge allows me to wear my belt a little looser than when I'm not using a foam wedge. I used to think the foam wedges would have to constantly be replaced but that hasn't been the case. They won't last forever, but worst-case I'd call them "mildly semi-consumable".
I have a Shaggy and as much as I like it, I've found that many companies (especially Phlster, Raven, and Tenicor) have continued to innovate and improve AIWB holsters. I also think the wedges work and I even ended up adding one to my Shaggy prior to switching to other AIWB holsters.
Another advantage is that production speed has largely increased and the prices have decreased, so trying a new holster isn't as big of a commitment anymore.
A keeper is the closest.
Having had both I can saw a keeper is better unit in all ways.
Comes with a bunch of wedge sizes
For my body type and worn position, a wedge is 100% required
@jc000 What gun? I have an unused Shaggy for the HK P2000SK, if that's what you carry.
I loved the Shaggy, but switched to a G19 in a JMCK 2.0 with foam wedge and quit looking at holsters after that. Love the JMCK, even better than Shaggy. Although the wedge did take some adjusting (height wise), once I found the sweet spot it's been smooth sailing. Much better concealment all around.

I find the JMCK George to be comparable. I miss the layer of leather, I thought it was a good idea.
Ignore Alien Orders
All good thoughts…
Thank you @RoyGBiv, appreciate the thought, needing for a P30.What gun? I have an unused Shaggy for the HK P2000SK, if that's what you carry.
Lol, what are you trying to make me feel bad with your body shot??? In all seriousness, I will look into the Keeper, forgot about those.A keeper is the closest.

Raven and Tenicor aren't options at this point looks like, but I should look into PHLsterI have a Shaggy and as much as I like it, I've found that many companies (especially Phlster, Raven, and Tenicor) have continued to innovate and improve AIWB holsters.

I Can certainly appreciate not wanting to Jack with a kydex holster
But if you want to add leather/Velcro/yoga block/lower the sweat guard/ make new holes etc To make it be a better tool did you then you should
