What you might not know about Mr. Haley is that, long before any of that happened, he was a Recon Marine who was staying up nights with a sewing machine.<\/p>\n<p>Haley has been personally building the gear he and his teammates needed for decades, sometimes even during the deployments themselves. I can just imagine it now\u2026Blackwater teammates cruising for chicks at the embassy pool while Haley is perfecting his box-stitch back in his hooch.<\/p>\n<p>Haley\u2019s motto is \u201cthinkers before shooters.\u201d He\u2019s never stopped developing better tactics, better training, and better gear.<\/p>\n<p>Haley came up with the first iteration of the Incog a full 10 years ago and has been tinkering with and altering it ever since. Using his incredible training facility in Scottsdale, Arizona (separate post pending) Haley has been able to develop and modify his designs on the spot and test them in a wide range of scenarios, practically in real time.<\/p>\n<p>When it came time to mass produce a durable version of his dream appendix carry inside the waistband (AIWB) rig, he found an unlikely partner in Safariland.<\/p>\n<p>The timing was right. Just as Haley was looking for a large manufacturer to produce the IncogX, Safariland was looking at developing a best-in-class civilian EDC holster, something they\u2019d never done before. Lots of back and forth, and lots more tinkering and multiple iterations later, the Safariland\/Haley Strategic Partners IncogX is finally available to the public it was designed for.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_540451\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-540451\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-540451 size-large\" alt=\"Safariland Travis Haley IncogX holster\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-746x420.jpg 746w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144.jpg 1770w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-700x394.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-540451 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"Safariland Travis Haley IncogX holster\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-746x420.jpg 746w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_085144.jpg 1770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-540451\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The holster and magazine caddy aren\u2019t made of Kydex.

These retention points are highlighted in red which provides a nice aesthetic, but if you can\u2019t figure out that squeezing right there makes it tighter, maybe carrying a gun isn\u2019t really for you.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also an additional passive retention point at the trigger guard. I\u2019ve run with it, trained with it, done plenty of handstands and headstands and subsequent falls with it. Neither the GLOCK or the magazine I was carrying left the holster and the holster never left me.<\/p>\n<p>As simple as you\u2019d think they are, everyone who wears a rigid EDC holster understands how important the clip design is. The IncogX clips aren\u2019t just what keep the holster attached to your belt, but their position, material, and design are what determines the location of the holster on our body, and how likely it is to stay in that position. Haley\u2019s put a lot of thought into all of that.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_540449\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-540449\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-540449 size-large\" alt=\"Safariland Travis Haley IncogX holster\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-746x420.jpg 746w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915.jpg 1770w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-700x394.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-540449 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"Safariland Travis Haley IncogX holster\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-746x420.jpg 746w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230803_084915.jpg 1770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-540449\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The clips themselves are a rigid polymer with a bottom opening.

Pull the finger tabs and they release. Very easy.<\/p>\n<p>Ride height and a small degree of cant angle can also be adjusted through multiple anchor points.

Again, not a problem (you\u2019ll just need another clip). Want a different clip? You\u2019ll find Haley designed it to accept several other brands. Don\u2019t want to carry appendix style in front? Not a problem, just ditch the integrated strut clip for an additional simple clip and roll IWB wherever you want.<\/p>\n<p>I keep mine at the 4 o\u2019clock position because that\u2019s what time Matlock comes on.

I\u2019ve never used these before and the entire strut system seemed like it would just add more bulk in the front of my body. That\u2019s not how it works, though. The strut pushes the grip of the pistol closer to the body for additional concealment. You can balance how closely it rides versus getting your thumb under the grip during the draw by swapping out the thickness of the strut shim.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/safariland.com\/pages\/incogx-iwb-holster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Safariland website<\/a> lists the current array of firearms and light options, and more are being added.

For what you\u2019re getting, the IncogX is surprisingly inexpensive. My rig, with all the bells and whistles, maxes out at $120.
