It's likely you would have better luck without the extra tuck, but you can probably get this to work. Try moving the holster to your right a bit, toward the crease between your thigh and torso. Then reinstall the claw to help hide the butt of your gun.
I carry a CCO currently, but I've carried 5" 1911s without much trouble in a JMCK holster.
I have carried a similar size gun a lot: a 92F. 2.0, cant the muzzle to centerline, claw, and a large wedge. That belt looks awful. I use 1 3/4" rigger belt from Snake eater Tactical, with the cobra buckle left of the holster. Can I do burpies in that rig? Hell, no. Like you, I have avoided Glocks, until now. I'm switching to a 19G5 in a G17 2.5. Same belt, flat pad, no cant, ready for a dot, shoots very well, and it's so much lighter/easier. Come to the dark side...

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
That mag well is going to make things harder concealment wise.
I’ll add that I carry with a Glock 17 length holster but find that 5 inch guns cause enough accidental scrotum smashes that they’re just a bit too long for me.
One more tip, briefs or boxer briefs to keep everything in place helps make aiwb a lot more comfortable for me than boxers.

I prefer just free ballin it, but conceal carry does not work to good with that.
I will give them a call, and see what they have to say, jm. I am going to take everything under advisement that's been posted, and try to get it to work. Thanks one and all for your advice. Will make sure to update as things progress.
[QUOTE=ubet;1540255]I’ve tried every adjustment and all the claws. I didn’t cut the wedge down or do any of that modding. If they’ll let me return it, I’m going to. I like the build of the holster and the idea of aiwb. But I just can’t get it to feel right or even half decent. I can’t even bend over good with it. I thought I could live with being a little uncomfortable, but it keeps drilling me sitting or bending.

I understand that a lot of men like to wear their AIWB holster high -- something about a full firing grip -- but I cannot carry AIWB as high as all that and still have it work. When sitting the butt will ride over my lower ribs and force the muzzle to poke down and back and the butt to print awfully.
The issue was resolved when Tony made me a pair of his standard AIWB QuickShip holsters slightly modified to sit low enough to require a pinch grip when drawing. I would guess that the pinch grip adds perhaps 0.5 sec to the draw.
I'm not able to include photographs. The kid who hangs around here and knows how to do such things is visiting various out of state colleges and is not available. I hope the description suffices.
