We wanted to start appendix carrying our Glock 48. At the time of writing, our usual holster maker, Alien Gear, didn't make an appendix holster for the Glock 48 MOS, so we went with Harry's Holsters' Singleton line. We also picked up the Dark Wing Right Hand and the Comfort Wedge Small, both recommended during our research. We're very happy with the holster and wing — the comfort wedge, not so much. Other reviewers on the product page noted the same thing: the foam was too soft, flattened out over time, and wasn't as dense as shown in earlier product photos.
Here's what it looks like out of the packaging:
We weren't paying close attention when ordering and expected a denser material based on older reviews. Here's how we fixed it for us.
We had a Harbor Freight anti-fatigue foam mat on hand and cut a few pieces to match the length and width of the comfort wedge.
Then Gorilla Glue and a clamp:
We made two versions — one with two layers, one with three. Harry's Holsters' original Comfort Wedge sits in the center for reference:
Stuck the hook side of hook-and-loop to one side:
Not pretty, but functional — no one but us will see it anyway.
The three-layer version is working out great for us. If it keeps working out, we may clean it up further — cut a curve at the bottom for a smoother fit and tidy the sides. We'll post an update if we land on the best way to do it.
A 4-pack of mats from Harbor Freight runs about $10; we used roughly a 2-inch top slice of one mat. Hook-and-loop and glue we already had on hand.
Hope this helps someone out!
