Proper Adjustment for AIWB Holster

A lot of people, especially a lot of smaller build people or people with more of a gut are concerned about center line or appendix carry holsters being properly concealed without a lot of bulky clothing. And obviously this same exact kind of concern goes for carrying behind the waist but especially in front of the body and especially if your gun is gonna push forward out into the shirt. Well, right now I'm wearing nothing but a, you know relatively athletically cut t-shirt and it's a synthetic material. So, it drapes close to the body and I'm concealing a full-size Glock 9 millimeter handgun. The reason that's possible is because of proper adjustment of this holster and you can see I've made some accommodations to the way I wear my belt for the center line carry as well. So, the first thing that you notice you've probably seen this in other videos where the belt buckle is pushed off to one side or the other. Some people prefer to pull it all the way around. Some people push it off to the weak side. The buckle not being anywhere near the gun or in front of the gun means that there's less material from the belt to protrude forward from the body. So, that's the first adjustment that we make. But a lot of holsters themselves are also very adjustable whether they're adjustable for height or for kant or also particular to the appendix carry adjustable to the way that they're going to push the top of the gun the grip area and the top of the back of the slide back into the body and sometimes even turn the grip back into the side of the body as well so that the gun isn't pushing off to the side. If I remove this wedge from this Spencer's holster this is a keepers holster. Spencer Keeper is the guy who came up with this idea of putting some of these pieces together. This is one of his holsters. This is the keepers light and you can see now if I try to drape it here there's much more protrusion of the back end of the gun the butt of the gun, the grip, the magazine base pushing out away from my body and that pushes out because I've taken this wedge off. And where this wedge goes has not only a lot to do with the concealment but also a lot to do with the comfort. Now, I have found that for me wearing the wedge relatively low and wrapping it around towards the top of the slide given the position that I wear the gun and my body shape is the best way to push that grip back against my body and hold it in close and tight. So, that now I can go ahead back and drape this shirt and again, basically make the gun go away. And we can see it's not sticking out nearly as much as it was in this area because I've got that wedge and I'm gonna make one more adjustment. I'm gonna actually drop it down just a little bit lower push it out a little bit further and... see what that does that point again. Now, I can drape that shirt and basically make the gun go away. Now, obviously there's going to be people who know like you do that I'm wearing a gun and we're gonna be able to look and see little wrinkles or little movements as the wind blows or as I turn or as I do different things but if the gun is normally worn in an environment where you're not calling attention to yourself this is the kind of concealment that we're looking for even with just a simple t-shirt. But the trick is how you wear your belt where you wear the holster and the adjustments that you make. Whether it's this keepers light holster and the specific wage adjustments that can be made anywhere up and down this Velcro and around even over to the bottom or simply adjusting the height the ride or the angle of a clip on any other appendix design center line carry holster. Making the proper adjustment is the key not only to comfort but also to concealability with especially larger hand guns.
