I recently purchased a new holster variant Tony at JM Custom Kydex is producing called the, "Claw 2.5." It uses the wonderful RCS claw to really twist the grip into the wearer's body, without having to use a, "wedge," build up around the trigger guard to facilitate concealment of the pistol butt. It works well. As I've leaned out in recent months, I've become more appreciative of less obtrusive holsters. I don't have any pictures of the holster being worn, because I don't think that's a really good indicator of concealment...it's not often I stand head on to someone and let them just peruse my physique. So I don't simulate that in front of the mirror. I find that in practical use though, the holster works great.
Through use, I can't get much show through or printing of the forward PTD strap, as many have complained of being a criticism of this holster's predecessors. I'm 6'4" and 260.
. Front view. I find the Claw really helps with, "rollout." The MP is a, "full size," carry piece, but putting it into a position of accessibility for me and my big mitts, makes it prone to roll out. I used to combat this by putting a big, THICK piece of foam on the body side of the rig, which, although not always comfortable, worked. This is a much thinner and more comfortable solution.
. Back, body side. Tony is calling these smaller neoprene wedges, "Neoprene Pads." I like that they accomplish the same thing as a bigger pad, but do so with less pressure, spread out over a wider area.
. Top view. The rig in its entirety is nary a hair bigger than the pistol itself. All good things.
This is a simpler rig for folks that don't want to go whole hog on the CLAW 2.0 rig, and thus it costs a bit less as well.
