Quick answer
Start with the medium wedge from the T1C Wedge Sizing Pack for most IWB holsters, then adjust up or down based on your body type and carry position.
Why wedge size matters for concealment
A holster wedge pushes the grip of your firearm closer to your body, reducing printing. The right size depends on your holster type, carry position, and body shape. Too large a wedge can cause discomfort or shift the holster angle; too small may not improve concealment enough.
Trade-offs when selecting a wedge
Larger wedges (large and x-large) provide more concealment for full-size guns or appendix carry but can create pressure points. Smaller wedges (small and medium) are more comfortable for slim builds or strong-side carry but may not fully hide a larger firearm grip. The T1C Wedge Sizing Pack includes all four sizes so you can test without committing to one.
How to choose your wedge size
- Small wedge: Best for slim individuals or strong-side (hip) carry where minimal adjustment is needed. Start here if you carry at 3-4 o'clock and have a lean build.
- Medium wedge: A versatile starting point for appendix (AIWB) carry with compact or subcompact pistols. Balances concealment and comfort. Use this as your baseline before trying larger or smaller sizes.
- Large wedge: Good for appendix carry with full-size handguns or if you have a bit of belly that needs extra grip tuck. Switch to large if the medium still allows the grip to push out.
- X-Large wedge: For maximum concealment with large frames or when carrying in a high-ride position. May cause discomfort for some users. Reserve for situations where concealment is the top priority over comfort.
