After trying a handful of brands I’ve landed on Vedder Holsters work well for me.

.700 Nitro Express
makes sense. I went with the 365 XL holster for both guns so should work out for me. My 365 prints a bit but I added pinky extensions.

It especially makes sense for AIWB so you lessen the tilt of the grip by having the leverage of a longer holster.
I am late to the party, I carry OWB almost exclusively. Not a fan of inside the pants, never have been.
I am a simple gun guy, I really like the holsters from Bladetech. I own six different ones for six differnt guns. Never had an issue. Easier to draw from, easy to holster and easy to wear.

I have always had leather holsters, but with my last carry gun purchase I decided to try a kydex IWB holster from Just Holster It in Alden, N.Y.. I'm actually VERY happy with it. It is adjustable for cant and ride height, as well as retention pressure and it is super easy to draw from. Did I mention that it doesn't require a month or more to stretch out and break in ?
So, via text I was able to reach thier customer service team briefly while I was on lunch. I couldn't chat right then as I had to return to work, but asked if they could call me @ 3:30 pm, my next available break. @3:30 ON THE DOT they called. I explained how the lead time will most likely put me near or past September 1st, the new bain of our existence in NYS as a concealed carrier. I explained how the law changes on that day and how I wished to carry at least once before that date. I mentioned how much research I put on this holster and the advice I received from a bunch of serious guys on the internet 
and that they were the ones chosen as "the best " for all things within my parameters.
Order placed Saturday A.M, they are closed then.
Normal lead time is 7-10 production days plus up to 6 days shipping or up to 16 days.
They busted ass and shipped it TODAY!
Now THAT'S customer service! Needless to say, sight unseen, based solely on that, they will be first up everytime I need a holster.
Way to go Black Arch....you rock!

@Jchrisls do you have blue loctite?
Once you set the holster up exactly how you like it, blue loctite all the screws

That's great. I was made aware of them but couldn't coordinate the time to get there during business hours unfortunately
Blue and red.
243 should do the trick. (Or 242)
Looks like a nice holster. I just looked. They don't have the WML option for other guns.... Crap!Shit I thought I posted up but I don't see it..
Sorry if I'm repeating myself but
Spare mag carrier.... 100% best option on the market today.. Dark Star Gear Koala
Koala AIWB Mag Pouch - Dark Star Gear
Using the holes the user can adjust the depth of the magazine and the ride height of the pouch in order to get the best position for comfort, speed, and concealment.darkstargear.com
