What is the real purpose of placing a wedge (usually a piece of foam, I think) on an appendix carry holster? Is it more about angling the muzzle away from your leg? I would think it also rotates the grip in closer toward your body which would help some with concealment, but might also make for a harder draw if there's less room for your thumb to get in between your body and the grip...?
"nuther question -- I have a pretty ordinary single-clip kydex holster for my XD subcompact currently. Can I just attach a wedge to the existing holster, or do I have to get some custom and expensive rig? Does anyone sell foam wedges that could attach through Velcro, maybe? With some simple adhesive to keep the backing on the kydex?
I've found a few holsters sold specifically as AIWB...most seem to have these wedges...some have a "claw" sticking out sideways that I assume is meant to rotate the end of the grip inward toward the body?
Thanks!
