This helps to visualize the wedge pushing out the holster.

Awesome, homework completed, might have to test that out next Amazon order! Worth the try, what could go wrong? It ends up in the draw with the 30 other test cases!
Actually I’ve been extremely lucky in all my gear, none of it was a test case and all worked after extensive research. The only holster I ever had to ditch was a BladeTech holster which after 7 years split in half right down the middle.

Ohhhhh, got it. Don’t really need one so never looked into it. But cool! Anything that works for anyone is a win

I’ve had mine in for about a year with no noticeable permanent compression. But they’re also ridiculously inexpensive and they usually use a Velcro system that makes them easily interchangable.
A wedge made a big difference in carrying for me with a mostly sedentary job.

I’ve had one on my EDC 2 years now, and still Goin’ strong.
