    OWB - Most concealable holster that hugs the body?

    For those holster aficionados out there that have tried a few. What is the most concealable body hugging, grip tucking, etc OWB (worn anywhere from 3-5 o'clock) holster you have used? I've seen great reviews about raven, alessi, mitch rosen, tt gunleather, 5-shot leather, etc. all mentioning the craftmanship, but none really mentioning concealability especially in comparison to others that they have tried. Holster material is irrelevant to me. What say you? Happy holidays and thanks!

    cool, their aiwb is what i use when i carry aiwb and it is awesome. what ride height do you have? High or Low? My limited experience with ride heights generally makes me lean to lower ride heights as the higher ones tend to cause the gun to flop outwards hindering concealability.

    Honestly, I'm not sure you'll find any one manufacturer that really has a leg up on the others as far as concealability goes. It's not like "OWB pancake" is secret technology known only to a few, and ride height and cant are probably as much about individual preference as anything else. IMHO, anyway.

    Certain body types can be very sensitive to the width of a holster.

    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    I rather liked the Dark Star I got for the Hi-point. It seems to strike a nice balance between curve and not taking up too much space on the belt.

    I do plan on ordering a holster or two from Dark Star, the sheath he made me has been outstanding.
