I made the switch from hybrid to AIWB about a year ago, and have been very satisfied since switching. My Crossbreed hasn't come out of the drawer since, and I'll only use a different method of carry on the rare occasions where dress or occasions don't allow.
The criteria I looked for in moving to the holster:
1) It had to ride a bit higher than other IWB holsters on the belt line. Too deep and you're looking at discomfort on the junk or the inner thigh.
2) I noticed that a lot of offerings out there enveloped too much of the gun's grip. I looked for a holster that allowed me to get a good firing grip to initiate the draw.
3) Even though I carry a G26 most of the time, I opted for a G19 holster. This allows me to carry either weapon, and I found that when the 26 rides in it, the extra length helps stabilize the gun against the body rather than having the butt of the pistol flop outward with that high ride I mentioned.
4) I wanted flexibility at the attachment points, to accommodate sitting, squatting, standing, or other everyday movement. Ended up going with something soft loops.
INCOGs are the bees knees according to most on the internet, but I didn't want the expense or the wait. I went for a Crown Jewel (
www.crownholsters.com) and couldn't be happier. It's a purchase I'd make again, and even though I haven't tried an INCOG there's nothing that I feel is missing from this holster for EDC.
