    LEATHER Optic Friendly AIWB Recommendations -Glock 17

    Title say it all.

    Right handed.


    Less wait time is always a good thing. I continue to "snap" my "full" sweat guards on my Kydex holsters after several months of daily wear.

    I do not not claim any defect in play, simply that perhaps with my body and wearing habits, a leather holster might be more durable


    Perhaps my 20+ year run with Kydex is done.

    Thx in advance

    I’ve gone to medium or low sweat guards on my Kydex holsters.

    Leather might have the edge in durability, but I don’t like the way guns draw from leather.

    The SME can be made with a optic cut.

    Thx so far.

    CF - I hear you and that is a thought. I like the high guard re protecting dress shirts. Mayhaps it is simply the cost of doing business.

    Re the SME- IIRC the present wait time exceeds a year. I understand but that is too long for me. YMMV and I respect those who can wait for such a fine product.

    I believe the TT gunleather AIWB will work with an optic, maybe call or email to be sure. 5-6 week turnaround time right now. I have had 3-4 of his AIWB and have been extremely happy with them. I think DB and some other folks had a hand in the design, probably why it works so well.

    Good luck Sir.

    It's worth the wait, I have several SMEs. But @johnralston has been saying "It's on my bench! Shipping out next week!" for a lot longer than that

    You might find better luck messaging Ralston and asking if a batch is upcoming and if you can piggyback on the run. I know a couple people who have done that this year with holsters arriving within a few weeks. He also posts when he makes an extra, or what I'm guessing is a cancellation. My buddy got an SME this way a few months ago

    I likes Tim's work, but that particular holster appears to have zero AIWB features other than lowering the ride height and changing the cant.id like to see a wing or build up wedge behind the belt loop to tuck the butt in.
