The Model 2 AIWB holster is exclusively designed for appendix carry. If you're someone who prefers this method of carrying your defensive weapon, then this holster is tailored specifically for you! Our main objective when creating the Model 2 AIWB holster was to develop the most comfortable and concealable appendix-style holster on the market. With a dedicated and uncompromising approach to this singular goal, we believe our design has successfully delivered. The Model 2 AIWB stands out as the most comfortable, concealable, and adjustable holster of its kind, boasting a straightforward design, premium materials, and impeccable execution.
The Model 2 AIWB differentiates itself from the Model 1 IWB by incorporating a body contour, commonly known as a wedge, on the rear side of the holster (the side that rests against the body). This feature enhances concealment when worn in the appendix location by preventing the upper section of the holster from shifting away from the body, ensuring a secure and snug fit against the wearer's body. While this design aspect makes it an excellent choice for appendix carry, it restricts the holster's adaptability for other carry positions. As a result, the Model 2 AIWB is dedicated solely to appendix carry.
For those seeking an Inside the Waist Band (IWB) holster compatible with both appendix carry and positions from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock, we encourage you to explore our Model 1 IWB holster.

Note:
The Vanta 9 is not compatible with holsters designed for the Staccato 2011 due to dimensional differences, which result in poor retention and excessive slide finish wear. While the Vanta 9 can be forced into Staccato 2011 holsters, it is not securely retained. Retention occurs only through friction against the slide rather than proper holster lockup, leading to accelerated wear of the slide finish. The wider slide and dust cover of the Vanta 9 are the primary causes of this poor fit.
Our holsters for the Vanta 9 series are specifically designed for this firearm to ensure proper slide clearance and secure lockup.
Form follows function. Our holsters are designed to fully protect ambidextrous safeties - we never compromise your safety for the sake of a low-cut design that exposes the safety lever. In keeping with this philosophy, our holsters for the Vanta series provide complete coverage of both safety levers.
