I carry AIWB and prefer minimalist, single clip, easy on/ easy off holsters. Not trigger guard small but as small as possible because in my experience minimal means comfort. It took a while to finally give one of the "married" style holsters a try. They always look so bulky and two clips usually means no easy on/off like I prefer. My final hesitation was cost. This style usually brings a premium in cost and I'm budget minded. Crazy Eyes Holsters is a small, one man shop out of Florida. I saw one of his holsters recommended in an FB post. I also found an informative youtube review that answered a lot of my questions and concerns. He offers upgrades such as carbon fiber kydex and different color kydex options that others charge extra for. He also offers a full sweat guard option and RCS wing at no extra cost. I ordered my holster and he had it at my door in under a week. Spectacular lead time for this style holster. It is very well made and the attention to detail is awesome. To my surprise, he even polished the edges. Something most others either charge for or don't offer. As I said, it is very comfortable. These are molded with 70% of the mold to the front of the holster so the back is flatter. This minimizes or prevents (as in my case) pressure points that can be experienced with some holster designs making them dig in and cause discomfort. While it's not as easy on/ off as my single clip holster, it is not as bad as I thought it would be. Certainly not a reason to dismiss this style. The added benefit of always having a spare mag far outweighs the small extra effort it takes to don this holster. Sitting is not a problem with this holster either. Granted, I am only carrying a small G43 and body type has a lot to do with AIWB comfort. I have one on the way for my G19, as well and will either update this thread or maybe make a new review post for that one. I'm hoping it works out as well as this one has. Pics for your enjoyment.

Very nice looking rig. Edge polishing looks great in the photos. If you don’t mind, what size body are you and belt are you wearing with this? I have been looking at these “sidecar” rigs for a while but have concerns with most of the injection molded clips used. I wear a Fatboy belt and it can deal some stress to polymer clips.
I’m 5’8” and 160lb so many thicker kydex and leather rigs look like I have been shoplifting when I appendix carry. The idea of molding front a keeping back flat sounds like it’ll both be more comfortable and possibly print less?

Thanks for the review! Had been looking mainly at t-rex arms and redline. Insane kydex creations have some good reviews online but not near as popular. Will do some research on these guys this week.

We are almost the same height & weight. I am 5' 7" and 162lbs with a 33/34 waist. I wear a Wilderness Tactical Frequent Flyer belt currently but just purchased a Blue Alpha Gear low profile EDC belt. Basically the same as the Wilderness belt but a less bulky buckle. I'll review that probably next week after a few days with it. I prefer this style belt because of the ability to micro adjust for comfort.

Get a set of soft loops & it will work fine with the Fat Boy belt.

Something else I just thought of that I didn't mention. I have found is that leather belts don't work as well for the way I personally carry AIWB. I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this either. I thread my belt through my belt loops one loop to the right of center so the buckle is by my hip and not on my centerline. The belt buckle prints quite a bit with your holster directly behind it. Leather belts are a bit tougher to work this way.

Yuppers. My “buckle” stays at 10 o clock. With everything other than my glock 43.

Rule 2...never let your muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
