I just received a new holster yesterday from Clinger Holsters. I've only just begun to use it, but so far I love it!
It's the Stingray model, which is an IWB kydex holster with a wide belt clip. The clip is not adjustable, but I ordered it with the 15 degree forward cant. It is not tuckable.
This link gives a good overview of it. I have an XD Mod.2 subcompact, which is featured in some of their pictures, so you can get a good idea of how it looks. I'll post additional pictures when I get the chance!

Retention is adjustable easily, and it includes some additional rubber spacers that are thicker and/or thinner than what's preinstalled, so you could adjust it over a very wide range. Now, it may loosen over time, but for now the retention is perfect right from the box.
The workmanship is superb. No rough edges, and you can tell they paid a lot of attention to detail. It was only $40. My only gripe was the time it took to get it. They say "only" 3-4 weeks" on their site, but it took closer to 6 weeks! At least it was worth the wait.
What they claim sets it apart from other similar holsters is the location of their belt clip. They mount it near the trigger guard of the gun, rather than along the slide, so it rotates the grip into your body when you tighten your belt over it. I can vouch that this is indeed the effect. It prints less than some others I've tried in various gun stores. The effect isn't huge, but it's noticeable. My prior holster was the pro model from N82 Tactical, which is comfortable for sure, but very very bulky. This is considerably better concealed.
It works great at AIWB positions, where the slight cant keeps the grip aligned with my waist rather than sticking out over the belt, yet without making the draw awkward. Works well along the 4-5 o'clock positions also. It's very easy to get on and off if you need to do that throughout the day.
Anyway, so far, I have a positive endorsement of this particular holster and of the quality from Clinger. Maybe they need to staff up to cut their production times down, but that would probably drive up costs, so maybe they're in the sweet spot.
I'll post some additional pics later.
