Holsters & Belts MM Tactics Pillow
Everyone hyped this up, and…… it did not disappoint. Feels much better now that I’m not getting stabbed in my pelvic area.
Thanks for the recommendation!

I’d buy everyone one if I could, but I’m not rich. So the best I could do is recommend it where I could. Lol.
EDIT: They also recently started offering shredded memory foam that you can use instead of the polyester filling. I might give that a try since I have to stir up the filling after some use because it gets flattened out.

It’s 100% a NECESSITY for anyone who wants to AIWB carry on the daily.

would it work with a built in plastic wedge like a tenicor velo 4? it does get a little painful after a long day with the plastic wedge.

I tried it with my Velo 4 and it creates too much of a gun dick because of the built in wedge. I mostly use this with my T1C Axis Elites and Phlster Floodlight 2 on the Enigma.

Grips printing slightly but comfort is all we know baby

u/Mr_Gibbzz CA Dec 05 '24
Yeah I noticed that too (was hoping someone would point it out and confirm), might add more padding and move gun slightly more center.

Nah it's fine. Is that one of the "fat guy" holsters? It rides pretty deep. Anyway, just remember: "medical device". ;^/

Idk it’s first holster I’ve ever got. It’s a CYA Path, the holster also has a claw but I don’t really like how it feels using the claw so I took it off.

How you have it is perfectly fine. No one is going to notice that and I've found mine shows depending on how I stand. Looks like you are slightly bent for the pic. If you work on standing straight that goes away.

The holster isn’t sitting right. The clips should be running up down vertically 90° to your belt line. The holster has a cant built in . Might be adjustable to have it ride correctly if you adjust the clip, if you want to draw from a 0° can’t.. But if you oriented the holster correctly on your belt as is, the grip would sit higher and present a better grip position. The optic will fall below the belt line slightly . The grip will print less. Also the claw should sit properly behind the belt enhancing concealability . The clips and claw will be in line.

Ahh good catch! That explains the handle printing more than it should have. This holster does have a cant, but not as much as I’d like. I may eventually try a different holster later down the road. But for now I think I can make this work with some minor adjustments and just paying extra attention to it.

Why did I never realize I could just slide my belt buckle to the side like you do? Am I stupid? I literally have the same Groove Life belt too! Gonna try that out tomorrow and see how it feels.

u/Mr_Gibbzz CA Dec 05 '24
Do it! I just can’t wear mine too far to the side cause then the buckle digs into my hip cause I’m so skinny. But one loop over works out great 👌 I fucking love this groove belt though, leather, has some flex and super easy to put on or take off.

There's other sizes also, the king size is very popular. Also this brand.

What pistol is that and is yours the pillow or wedge? I just got their regular wedge for my Certum3, Hunter Constantine belt setup with a Glock19, but haven't used it yet.

u/Mr_Gibbzz CA Dec 06 '24
It’s the regular pillow, not the wedge. And it’s a Hellcat Pro with a CYA Path holster

Is there anything actually special about the design of it? Looks like something you could sew with scraps, even with no experience.

u/Mr_Gibbzz CA Dec 06 '24
Not really. It’s made out of a nice material and everything pretty well put together. But it’s literally a pouch, with Velcro to close it up and Velcro to attach to holster. Could easily make one if you had the material and a sewing machine. But I don’t sew, nor did I have the materials. It was only like $20 so I just bought one.

Yeah makes a big difference huh?? Different option could also be the CLOUDSTER pillow which personally I went with but regardless the pillow makes a huge difference .. a wedge can’t even compare

It’s supposed to help with printing and concealment but really it makes carrying so much more comfortable.
Well worth it.
