    In this episode I answer some viewer questions about how I carry a pistol and the Appendix Inside the Waistband method of concealed carry. I’ll also show you the best concealed carry holster on the market, in my humble opinion. Do you think AIWB is dangerous? Watch this video and maybe I’ll change your mind.

    • @WardenWolf
      @WardenWolf Před 5 měsíci

      I know this is coming very late, but here's the flaw of appendix carry: it doesn't work very well when drawing one-handed. The shirt tends to snag on your butt when pulling it up, and also fall over the back of your hand while drawing. Now imagine trying to do that under stress when an enemy is danger close. Meanwhile, at 3:00 it comes up cleanly, is pinned to the side by your wrist, and it allows you to blade off and guard with your other arm. It's a much more reliable way to draw when you're already in close quarters and allows you to delay your opponent from getting to your torso and getting a grapple. It also places your gun arm effectively out of reach. Appendix carry is, in my opinion, unsound from a biomechanical standpoint. I don't like the idea of having to rely on having both hands available to get a reliable draw under stress, and you shouldn't, either. If you're using one arm to guard, you can draw and shoot under your guard and they can't really do anything about it.

    Nice video and great tips. I particularly like the suggestion to be cognizant of the muzzle while reholstering.
    A holster is a safety device - shrouded trigger, shrouded safety if the gun has one, and built of material that does not collapse.
    Another advantage to AIWB is that the approach to your firearm is within your field of view.
    For those who prefer scary old cocked and locked 1911's, if you need to reholster you can move your thumb underneath the safety and monitor it to make sure it stays engaged.
    A Schwatz firing pin block is another good idea for 1911's. Reholster with pressure on the beavertail, not the grip safety, to leave the firing pin block (hopefully) engaged.

    Veteran & former LEO, I'm at the age where my shoulders have become hurtful from abuse & age. I have a lengthy morning routine of stretches & exercises I do primarily when I get up but also throughout the day to alleviate much of the discomfort & maintain range of motion for my daily activities. It's like the carbureted cars that one had to warm up on a cold morning, a little rough at the start but fine after running fur a few minutes with the choke on. I'm in a concealed carry state so I primarily carry appendix. As OG says, it can be a very safe way to carry provided I follow a few simple rules. My EDC is my G2C 9MM with a manual safety; when holstered, there's one in the pipe & safety off. I used to carry IWB @4 o'clock position but sometimes drawing my weapon hurts my shoulders. Love the vids & keep up the good work!

    Good video. Nice to hear a member of law enforcement explain the advantages of appendix carry. I agree totally about the benefits of appendix carry. It may not be for everyone, but it works for me, and I rarely carry in any other position. Actually it's a no-brainer for me. It's the most comfortable; the quickest, easiest access; and it is the most defendable position on my body should someone try to take the gun. But to your point, nothing is 100% "safe." Obviously, there will always be some degree of inherent "risk" when dealing with firearms. However, I'm a firm believer that there are no "accidental" discharges....just negligent discharges. That being said, anyone who feels it's not "safe" to carry appendix should probably not be handling firearms anyway. If you're stupid enough to have a negligent discharge, you have no business carrying or handling firearms.

  • @Evergreen1400

    I carry appendix and have for many years so clearing my “garment” aka tshirt is like 2nd nature, I start with my draw hand down by my pocket I swipe upwards with my thumb until I feel my hand under my shirt then I sweep across my belly to my appendix where my gun is I grab my gun then present the weapon. I only say this because I see people saying it requires 2 hands to draw while carrying appendix which just isn’t the case, some people will teach you to use your off hand to clear your garment while you draw just because it’s a good habit but it’s nowhere near a requirement you can easily draw 1 handed as long as you’re practicing.

      I carry at 3 O'clock and do the same move. From pocket level I hook my thumb under the concealing garment and onto the backstrap of the pistol. I do the same move to get my keys on my belt or the folding knife on my back pocket with the same hand. It's very natural after doing it for 20 years.
      After watching this video I'm now considering an appendix carry rig, my only concern is using the restroom in a public place and still keeping everything out of the ignorant public's eye.

    I grew up and lived in Boston Assachusetts for 30 years. Carried down there for 9yrs, and Appendix was the only legit carry position I even could carry without having the cops called on me everytime I printed at 3 o’clock (it’d happened several times). When you’re surrounded by anti-gun nuts you have to improvise. Enter: Appendix Carry. I draw the same way that you do, but I’ve also trained so that I can hook my right thumb under the right side of my shirt, and draw one-handed, so that if I need my left arm to shield my face/throat I can. What are the odds, Tactical Girth was the name of my 90’s Electronica Band while I was getting myself through college 😏 Great video big guy! There are so many new shooters out there now, it’s good to see AIWB represented by the O.G!!

    I've been on the fence about AIWB carry. As I also have some "tacticle girth", it seems to be the best for all types of situations whether sitting or standing or driving. I've tried 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock, but the pistol is harder to conciel and drive with, let alone present in a conflict if needed. Apendex carry feels more comfortable for me.

    I carry in the small of my back, using a left handed appendix cross draw holster, which presents quite well to my right hand that way. It actually gives me some nice back support when seated, and doesn't print at all, since my untucked shirt hangs from my shoulders, and completely clears my 1911. The extra mag is in my pocket.

      The biggest problem I see with SOB carry is if you are in a fight and it goes to the ground with you on your back and your arm is behind you, you are screwed. Also if you are on the ground and ground fighting is not in your skill set, you may not be able to reach the weapon when needed, particularly if your adversary knows you are armed and is fighting for your weapon as well…

With all the BS going on these days I want to carry my full sized 1911 for the accuracy at distance. Gregg, your comments about carrying a full size and how to carry it were very reassuring.
