I have been carrying the Glock 21 in the appendix position with a spare magazine opposite it. I so not know why there is so much complaining about the size; it worked just fine. The gun was easy to carry and no hot spots developed so long as it was properly positioned. Holster was one of mine with Discreet Carry Concepts clips and a wedge. Belt was a Kore Essentials tactical with appendix carry buckle. The magazine was carried in a JM Custom Kydex AIWB mag holder. It was an all around good day of carry!

Call a doctor, evidently you lost all sensation below your chest.

Seriously, glad it works for you but dang that's a big gun to carry AIWB.

It's 1911 Commander sized! The grip is as wide as a 1911 with regular stocks installed; it's just rectangular in shape instead of football shaped. Add in the rear portion of the slide and everyone thinks the 21 is a massive gun. The 1911 Commander is easier to hide because the hammer area is not squared off like the Glock.

So I am perplexed with the orientation of the pistol and the magazine. Are you carrying with the pistol grip to the left?

It's a left handed holster. Mag holder sits on the right side and is angled inboard to go with the fold of the hip.

 

[tomrkba]

Not surprised. I carry a Gen. 3 Glock 17 a lot.

Yup...same size as the 21 and Commander, just skinnier than the 21.

 

[tomrkba]

I am thinking of the Glock 20 too. I will likely acquire one soon.

God bless ya brotha. Solid reasons for the carry and hell, have to admit a little jealous you can do it in comfort. My ass is *****in about a 43X!! while you're carrying a G21 and a spare mag.

The trick is the Discreet Carry Concepts clips! They are mounted at the muzzle and give you lots of adjustment. The KE belt is very stable; far better than my leather belts that are no longer new. They don't print like loops will. Make the belt sit high, set the DCC clips for a lit bit of outboard cant, add a JM Custom Kydex wedge, and you're good to go.

Height and waist size please

Short, old and 33”. Still fat but thin enough to AIWB.

 

[tomrkba]

I cant get comfy with a G26 AIWB, sitting just sucks.

You are doing something wrong then.

 

[tomrkba]

What happens if you have to bend over to tie your shoes, or pick up something off the ground? Wouldn't that pinch your private parts?

Yes with a bad holster.

No with DCC clips, JM Custom Kydex wedge, and a JMCK AIWB 2.5 or my own holster with DCC clips. Carry on Kore Essential belt that prevents sagging. Must adjust just right— both clips and wedge. Again, it is the same as a G17 or 1911 Commander except for width. The magazines are harder to deal with.

I agree with your choice of holster and clips, but it isn't simply a hardware solution. You need to change your actions and behaviors to suit your carrying style and equipment being carried, that along carrying the right equipment for your mission, whatever that may be. Mission drives the gear.

Overstated for civilian carry. It’s just a pistol. It is not difficult to carry. Picking things up, tying shoes, etc, is not an issue. Even if it does pinch, it’s just for a second. Man up, take it and continue on. Let’s not be dramatic.

 

[tomrkba]

No, just diff body type. I have tried in a Vedder LT & a Crossbread Reckoning. The CB is better but I cant sit all day AIWB. At 3:00, easy.

That is the problem: bad holsters. But 3 o’clock works, so there it is.

Wardrobe today required strongside carry. I broke out the Milt Sparks Criterion and S4-C magazine holder. Worked great as usual. Going on 13 hours and will take it off later tonight.
