    PM me and I'll send you my Glock AA to try out.

    Does the Archangel draw "faster" because of less retention, or less concealment (giving an easier grip)?

    I think it draws faster due to less concealment. it is as they say, a trade-off. The retention is very positive.

    I am game for a trade. I have an archangel for a G19 or 17.

    I would love to try both the shaggy and the invictus, for a g17, if you can swing it. if you only have one to send, I'd prefer the shaggy. G19 for either will work as well.

    PM me. This is going to be awesome.

    Looking @ all these holsters and the way they are carried is appealing to me. However, until the "Gadget" is made readily available on the commercial market I just don't see carrying the G-19 up front where the boys are in danger.

    Don't worry, the position most people wear an aiwb doesn't have the muzzle pointed at your fun parts. Just your femoral artery.

    Very comforting.

    I'm sure you've heard the expression "never holster in a hurry." The full meaning of that becomes clear as you work with AIWB holsters.

    Anyone have a pic of a Kramer 1 1/2 on?

    A question for those of you who have the Fricke Archangel:
    Would it be possible to add a hole above the front side loop allowing you to move the loop for both straight drop or a forward cant? It looks like it would work from pictures, but I figured I'd ask you guys who have hands on with one.
    Thanks in advance.

    I would have to say no, because the screw is counter sunk into the Kydex on the inside of the holster. This is to keep the gun from coming in contact with the metal screw while being pushed into the holster. If you want a canted Kydex holster then just buy another holster. You could call Dale and ask him if he could customize one for you, but in my opinion holsters made to do multiple things are never good at either. JMHO.
