Definitely let us know. I have been doing alot of appendix practicing at home with the S&W .38 and kel-tec PF9. I have tried the XD9sc but it is not as comfortable or seems to conceal well so I am wanting to look at a holster that I can adjust the cant a little and think that might help. Do not have a Kydex holster yet, but want one.

Will do! I ordered a "Betty" holster, made by the same people that came up with the Flashbang bra holster. It's a kydex clamshell type, with a fully adjustable cant (another huge appeal for me - to be able to adjust it to precisely what I need!).
I should have it either today or tomorrow, so I'll be sure to update you.

My advice is to start with a middle-of-the line priced holster...maybe up to $40 or so, just to give you an idea of where you want the holster to sit before you spend big money. I use a DeSantis TuckThis II, paid $35 for it. I plan on picking up a leather galco this weekend.... I can also recommend WRB holsters. They are very inexpensive, and if my buddy is to be believed, worth their weight in gold.

Thanks again, snatchel. I've looked at the DeSantis, and may try one out of the one I'm waiting on doesn't work out for me.

AIWB is precisely how I intend to carry - if I can find the right holster. I'm 5'2" and 115lbs. Anything in the 3-5 o'clock position is an obvious bulge, and a little difficult to get to since I don't have full range of motion in my right (strong side) shoulder.
Thanks for the demo, snatchel, and the detailed info. You've confirmed for me why I want to carry this way.
