First off, I don't intend this thread to be a debate RE: the virtues/drawbacks of AIWB carry. If you want to dive into the merits of this style of carry, feel free to start a thread to do so.
I carry AIWB most of the time. It works for me. I like it. I have a commander size 1911, a HK PSP, a G26, a G43 and a HK P2000 that have rotated duty. I have come to feel more comfortable with a hammer fired pistol for AIWB. It may not be required, but I feel a bit better knowing that I can thumb the hammer upon re-holstering and that with a good holster that covers the trigger, it is basically impossible for the pistol to fire while holstered (can't really think of a scenario where it could fire). Ergo, the P2000 has gotten the nod more often than not as of late.
Enter the P30SK. I just picked one up off of a 'Hide member, and took it out for a spin for the first time today. HOLY COW! I love this little gun. It has the V1 LEM trigger (same as my P2000), and it shoots lights out for me. I have really grown to admire the LEM trigger. It takes just a bit of practice to get used to, but even an average shooter like me can gain proficiency with it fairly quickly.
The P30SK is about the size of a G26, and it conceals quite well. It's an HK, so I expect reliability from it. I fired 250 rounds today without issue. I know, its only getting broken in, but all signs point towards the expected reliability. At the end of my range session, I fired 20 shots of remanufactured 115gr, with mag change, as fast as I could pull the trigger into the head of a standard ISPC target at 10 yards and they grouped about 3.5". With my limited skills, I'll take that.
So, for my needs and requirements, I can't think of a better AIWB handgun.
How about you? What do you carry AIWB?
