Absolutely. I wouldn't carry appendix without some wedge. Best option is to custom cut and fit your own. No prefab one will fit your body type as perfectly.

 

Yes on every one I use...I also incorporate a claw to further push the holster in. Comfort is king with AIWB and different positions/cants/ and ride height can provide that sweet spot with a little effort.

I like em. Vedder sells their own, or you can get a Dr Scholl's heel cushion and velcro it on. YouTube has many ways to DIY one as well. If your grip is out, away from your body, it's what you need.

 

I have the Vedder wedge on a Sig 365 macro TacOps Vedder AIWB holster...meh... It's ok.... Not great.. Not bad.. Just ok. I'll probably swap it out soon..At least for me...There's way better options..imo...ymmv..

 

The Tier 1 wedges are very durable, with minimal compression over time.

I paid for the wedge on my vedder LT and added velcro strips to a few other holsters and now move that wedge between EDC holsters. Best 20$ I’ve spent, I prefer the comfort with the pillow

 

I should try a wedge. The most uncomfortable part of aiwb for me is where the lower part of the holster comes in contact with my body. Don't know what has changed but my pelvic area is more tender.

 

Hopefully you’re using that area more often these days

I was a late adopter to the wedge and they’re really a simple and comfortable mod.

 

I carry AIWB in Vedder LightTucks with their wedges. They're very comfortable. I've done the Dr. Scholl's thing, and while they work, I find them less comfortable.

 

I'm blaming this thread for the $10 I just spent on Amazon. I had a wedge before. It definitely reduced printing but didn't stay on the holster well. There are a lot more choices now.

 

Welcome to GT, where members subliminally make you purchase things without even knowing why.

having said that, this little wedge has been money in the bank.

 

So, after 4 days of carrying with the little $10 wedge I got on Amazon, I couldn't be happier. Not only does it reduce the outward tilt of the grip (which was expected), it helps with holster changing cant around the single skinny metal clip, and it's more comfortable.

This goes in the category of "I wish I had got it sooner."

 

I’ve been carrying AIWB for a while, and adding a holster wedge was a total game changer for comfort. I use a cloudsterpillow wedge with my Vedder LightTuck, and it really helps distribute the pressure better across my abdomen. It also pushes the grip into my body more, improving concealment.

 

A Dr. Scholl's Gel Heel Cushion, along with some industrial strength Velcro, for $6.19 from Walmart works well too!

 

Use a Cloudster Pillow. You wont regret it!

 

When I ordered a holster from JMCK i order a wedge with it. Definitely notice the difference in comfort. I had to fillet the pad though, it was a little too thick.

 

I carry at 3 o-clock and use a claw. A wedge sounds like it would push the grip farther in and that sounds good.

Any of you guys use a wedge and a claw at 3 o clock? Or do you prefer one over the other?
