I have been using a holster I picked up on ebay from seller thanksman232. It uses the Raven Concealment overhook & claw setup. Cost me a whopping $30 bucks. It is a great holster for me. Very comfortable even while seated and driving. I am 5' 7" and 160 lbs and I can conceal my G19 in just about anything I want to wear.

I'm 5"11", 175, trim-ish but with little middle age handles trying to grow. I've been carrying my G23 (recently traded to acquire my G19, both are the same size) in it, originally because my wife and I both got sports cars with large bolsters, but now because I just like it more than 4 o'clock carry.

This $16 holster is thin and perfect. I wear it with a leather gun belt, and it keeps the G19 tight against my belly. It is very comfortable.

Good conceal-ability.

I carry a G19 AIWB. My preference is for a low carry. On my body this conceals the best. I've tried several kydex holsters and they tend to carry the gun higher than I like. This results in obvious and goofy printing from the grip frame. What I've found to work best for me is a cheap Uncle Mike's cloth holster. It rides low and disappears.

The disadvantage of the low ride is getting a good grip when drawing. As with any holster, practice makes perfect.

Let me add that the cloth is more comfortable than a rigid piece of kydex and seems to manage sweat better (I frequently carry without an undershirt). Also, I can fit just about any 4" pistol into the same holster.

Clinger Atom w/ a RGV claw from DIYholsters.com. I'm 5'6 215lbs and have no problem concealing the g19. My chest to waist ratio probably helps, but my gut doesn't (at least while sitting in a booth). A little nudge usually gets it in the right spot though.

Pretty sure Clinger has the g19 stocked and the claws are $10 shipped. GL and enjoy

In Kydex? High Noon Instinct Extreme - carried a G43 in on Appendix and it'd fantastic:

I carry a Beretta Px4 SC Appendix 90% of the time but prefer leather...so, it's a High Noon Hidden Ally for the Px4 but they make one for the G19 which is almost the same size:

I pretty much use High Noon for all my carry guns now having settled on Appendix as best for me and having tried a lot of holsters. I prefer leather.

VooDoo

Blade tech klipt, 30 $ for strictly AIWB.

Concealent Express, 4 corners concealment, or Blueline concealment IWB for 40-50 bucks. Enough adjustability for AIWB or other positions. All 3 offer IWB kydex Glock holsters with pretty much the same design and look. One retention adjustment screw by the trigger guard, limited cant adjustment, durable plastic clip, 'click' retention.

Not super fancy or feature laden, but cheap, durable, and quick to put on or take off.

Personally, I didn't care for On Your Six's design when ordering for my G30s. WAY too much gap between the pistol and the clip mount making for unnecessary added width IWB. Maybe mine was out of spec, but I won't order from them again.

Many Kydex holster sellers don't show a view of the holster looking down on the top of the slide, so you don't know how thick the holster is.

When recently ordering from Concealment Express I had to ask about their design and specify what I wanted, because their pics weren't clear. This pic I sent them compares the On Your Six design with the "VersaClip" from Custom Carry Concepts.
Product Line Technology Adaptation Room

The Concealment Express holster was pretty good. Not quite as nice as the CCC one in the pic, but met my requirement for #2 and, for #1, while CE does have a bit of a gap like the On Your Six holster above, it isn't nearly as gaping of an opening for clearance, so it adds less width.

IMO, the CCC holster above is a much better design for concern #1. The mounting bracket can be kept very close to the pistol, but at the same time, there is no chance of scraping the slide on the screw heads when drawing or reholstering.
