Nice review. I use the JM WingClaw 2.5 with the closed-soft loops for all my pistols. Like you, I've tried other brands to see if there's anything better and I always end up sending them back, because they aren't. If JM Custom Kydex couldn't make a holster for a pistol I was looking at I probably wouldn't buy the pistol, and I'm not kidding.
Excellent review and great tip on the wedge angled. Love JM custom, Tony makes some of the best holsters and has excellent customer service. I’m like you that I keep trying other holsters but keep coming back as well. Except for the tenicor holsters, they are the only ones that I would put up their and slightly ahead of JM, but Tony has a bigger variety of holsters depending on the gun.
@@inFAIMous03 Probably the Enigma shell. I have one as well and will order more. I've been buying from Tony for the better part of a decade and I've used his holsters through too many to count classes, competitions, etc to include classes like ECQC. I don't think you can go wrong.
Great review 👍. Any experience with their "CUSTOM AIWB Holster - Wing Claw 2.0"? If so, how does its comfort and concealment compare to the holsters in your vid? Also, if you've any experience with AIWB holsters from T1C, T Rex Arms, and/or Tenicor, how do JMs' stack up? Just as concealable or no? Any negatives in your experience with JM holsters? Lastly do you recall offhand what shirt you were wearing in this vid? Thank you sir
@saintmichael753 Thank you. I also have that one and it does its job superbly with the typical high quality from JM. It is just a matter of personal preference. I also have a Tenicor Velo 4 and it is a VERY good holster that is well designed and made to the highest standards. I also like the Tenicor for its "wingless" designs. I have no experience with the others that you mentioned.
I know this video is a few months old but it's extremely helpful, you've detailed things I wasn't able to find from anyone else, I've been looking to order this exact model from JM for the reasons you've stated but I'm trying to decide if I should opted for the extra tuck feature as I feel it would really help especially with a shorter slide, do you prefer the extra tuck on this model holster?
Thank you. I try to make my vids to where the content stands the test of time in this fast paced world. It really depends on how much wedge and grip tuck that you want. For me, I prefer a larger shaped wedge to rotate the grip or a wedge with the extra tuck. That way I can get more concealment from the wedge like in the vid. Not everyone wants a large wedge.
@@sightlinestrategies thank you for your response and advice, I appreciate it, the issue I'm having is since it's a shorter slide "Shield plus" it tends to want to role over the top of my belt unlike longer slide pistols so to compensate my thinking was the extra tuck would help mitigate that by pushing the muzzle further away and pushing the grip in closer, I know everyone is different, I just wanted to get an idea.
@@Daavi85 get the longest holster you can. That will alleviate the "keeling". Reach out to Tony and see if he can make you an AIWB XL. He may be able to make an extra long holster if he does not do so already.
Depends on the gun and also your chest and shoulder thickness. I think with a thinner gun this style would be fine for most people. With a double stack you need to be mindful of other factors to create "drape" to hide a larger gun.
Depends on your body type and where you plan to put the holster. Be forewarned that this type is a thicker holster on the belt line. If you are a skinnier dude I'd go with the wing claw option.
@@sightlinestrategies I have a Canik so overall I like that they even offer an option. Reviews are great and in no rush. I think I will probably go with this option.
Mine took just under 10 business days. Well worth the wait. Until you hold something it can be hard to fork over almost 100 dollars. But these holsters are Fantastic. Do it. I wish I had one for every handgun. Someday I probably will.
@@joshualemaster9328 Oredered on early September and still waiting. If you have something common like a Glock they have those in stock. I have a Canik so lead times are 9-11 weeks.

Thank you. I've been using Tony's products since 2014. He is one of the best in the business.
Jm Custom kydex is the bee's knees. I love my George with mono block clips. Even with a full size 17rd. gun.
He is definitely the best! I'm glad you enjoy it!
I, really like mine. Thank you for the recommendation!
You're very welcome my friend! I'm glad you like it!
I was skeptical going with jm at first but after trying it, I’m looking to get another
I'm glad you did! Which model did you go with?
@@sightlinestrategies I don’t recall the name but I got a custom one to use with the enigma system. Works wonders

Which holster in the middle
The JM AIWB for G 34 in OD green.

@saintmichael753 I was wearing a next level tshirt in the vid. They are cheap and available on Amazon.
Awesome, thanks I appreciate it! 👍👊
@sightlinestrategies any idea offhand what model of next level brand tees? 😅
@saintmichael753 no I don't remember an item number.
Great review, thanks. How do you feel this holster compares to the Tenicor offerings?
Regarding quality I think it's equal but I think Tenicor also has some well thought out designs. I own both and think you can't go wrong with either.
Is there a difference between his custom vs quick ship? The options look the same.
@@charleswhite5482 No, they are the same model. The custom will be for an off model firearm or a feature that you want.
Which holster on his website is that first one you showed with the extra tuck?
That is the normal AIWB. It is under the quick ship options on his website.
Can you adjust the ride height?
I like a high ride for AWIB
Yes you can.

@@sightlinestrategies Great! again thank you so much for your help and advice, very much appreciated sir
Would you suggest this type of holster for someone with a 30 inch waist? Or is it too thick for someone my size?
Depends on the gun and also your chest and shoulder thickness. I think with a thinner gun this style would be fine for most people. With a double stack you need to be mindful of other factors to create "drape" to hide a larger gun.
Great review. Would you recommend the AIWB Or the wingclaw variation?
Depends on your body type and where you plan to put the holster. Be forewarned that this type is a thicker holster on the belt line. If you are a skinnier dude I'd go with the wing claw option.
Ok cool thanks for the info. I bought one and am going to use the DCC monoblock. Im excited to try it.
@@readyup1809 let me know what you think or need any further tips on proper position!
That's cool
Thank you.
Do you have any other aiwb holsters from JM? Trying to decide between 2.0 and 2.5 aiwb
I have the normal hole spaced 2.0. It is also a fantastic holster that you can't go wrong with.
@@sightlinestrategies the 2.0 isn't in this video right? Thanks for the response!
@@LoftOfTheUniverse no it is not. I had planned on doing another video about some of the various "winged" holsters on the market.
@@sightlinestrategies I see. On the 2.0, can you adjust the ride height or is it set?
@@LoftOfTheUniverse with the DCC clips there can be some ride height. You will get a little more grace with the 2.5.
I am trying to find a negative review of JMCK. The most negative thing I can find is that it takes a long time to get their holsters.
They're delivery time is much shorter. If you buy a quick ship product it should be to your door in 10 days.
