Mine shipped on Friday. I wasn’t expecting it to ship until yesterday, so I was pleasantly surprised. I got it in the mail yesterday and so far, I like it a lot. It’s a lot more comfortable than I was expecting. I haven’t worn it a whole lot yet, obviously, but I’m really looking forward to it…
Got mine yesterday, and so far, I’m really liking it. AIWB is a completely new method of carry for me, so I’m still getting used to that, but the holster works exactly as advertised. I first thought having an exposed front sight blade would poke, or cause snagging on clothing, but that hasn’t been the case at all thus far.
Definitely a must have item for days you want minimum bulk!
I got mine in the mail yesterday as well. I’ve had a chance to wear it around a bit and practice. I’m still not at a point where I’ll wear it out of the house, but soon will be.
One negative I have encountered is that when using it with a baby Glock (G33 in this case) the bottom of the holster pokes into me. This is the part where the lanyard would go. I think this is a problem related to the short barrel as a compact or full size Glock would protrude past the bottom of the holster. I’m going to keep working with it, but so far the minimal nature is a huge plus.
I just wore mine through part of Southnarc’s ECQC this past weekend and it did it’s job superbly. Comfortable, and easy to use. I will also be using it this next weekend when I am teaching a combatives/BJJ seminar. I have done it in past seminars where I wore it the entire time and it has never failed once. Comfortable to grapple in, and holds the pistol securely.
Just sit in front of the TV and do 20-40 snappings and unsnappings to break it in. The one way buttons are always unbelievably tight for me. I’ve had to use flat head screw drivers to get them off sometimes. They break in very quickly.
Am I the only one who finds it funny that someone with the name of Glockmaster owns an M&P? :jester:
Sorry, someone had to say it…lol!
Anyways, mine is getting here today. Of course, the day I got my shipping notice was the same day I had an emergency appendectomy. Appendix or no, I think that 1 or 2 o’clock carry is the way to go, and really look forward to trying it out.

I really like the idea of a low profile simple holster for aiwb but on the same token, I’m not too keen on the idea of having to remove the vanguard from my waistband in order to reholster my weapon.
Mine came in the other day and I’ve been wearing it at 3 o’clock, and I find it pretty comfortable. I can wear it appendix with my 19, but it’s a bit much for me right now to carry my 17 AIWB.
I’ve reholstered into it plenty… just got to be extra careful when doing it… as you should be anyway when you shove a loaded gun in your pants, regardless of the holster design.
Of all the stupid things people do with firearms, reholstering into the VG2 carefully doesn’t get me that excited anymore.
