What holster are you rolling with?

[Edwardteach72]

The reason old people and fat bodies dont like appendix carry is it requires actually paying attention and training. It's no more dangerous than 3 or 4 o'clock carry, yes there is a larger degree of damage if you duck up. But let's look at it this way......

Finger off the trigger when drawing. Hmm ok so train.

Finger off the trigger and check that nothing inside a good (not some cheap ass uncle Mike's bs holster) holster. Hmm ok so train and take a few extra seconds to the one motion that doesnt require speed... reholstering.


SOB, someone is attacking you and it becomes a close in struggle, fall to your back, 2lbs of steel isnt going to do much help smashing on your spine.
Just as likely to shoot yourself as other methods.
Oh yeah someone rushes in on you and stuffs your draw easier because it sure as hell isnt ab efficient way to draw and present (3 or 4 o'clock is much easier to use your body to prevent all that. And appendix is also a more efficient draw stroke)
And now say you are on the ground and haven't blown out a vertebra, good luck getting to your gun that is behind you

I’ve never understood why people are in a hurry to holster their weapon

Weird I have yet to see a single training class not allow appendix carry. Only person I ever hear cry about appendix carry is yankee Marshall

They allow it but don’t endorse it. You mention training classes quite a bit. Notice I Don’t. Dudes in tight shirts with beards are not the end all be all. I got training from Uncle Sam and have taken classes on my own. I find them to be overhyped many times (but not all the time). Being able to draw and put a hole where it’s needed is good enough for most.

You ever hear of Larry vickers? Can’t appendix carry in his classes.

And I bet you cant SOB either. But hey like you said you got some training in the military so that sure translates over to EDC as a civilian and you can put some holes in paper

Oh and if I'm not mistaken, Vickers doesnt allow appendix carry for the simple reason he cant guarantee the level of skill each individual coming through his classes

I dont get the pointing a gun at you dick thing as if its a problem. People who have a problem with hat should also have a problem with pocket carry, every time you sit down you could be pointing a muzzle at someone like you family. Appendix is the best position to conceal a pistol and the hardest for someone else to grab it. My only problem with it is when my weight is up my gut pushes the pistol into me.

Is far as whats best, the circumstance may dictate that also the everyone is different so maybe no one right answer. I personally dont see any advantages to SOB other than it could be drawn with both hands

 

[Podmonkey]

I am perfectly content with 4 o'clock carry. Its comfortable and fast enough.
If Reciprocal carry were actually a thing I'd carry in a shoulder holster while on the road.

Best training I got was idpa honestly. Not perfect but better than anything else I have used so far.

Why so salty @Edwardteach72? Who gives a shit where anyone else carries?

You said you didn’t know of any trainers that didn’t allow it. One of the most well known does not due to idiots shooting themselves. I can’t really see how you would be more likely to do that as opposed to strong side though. I tried it for about a day with a sig 239. Most uncomfortable carry method I have ever used. I’m 6’2 and was 215 then. Not skinny but not huge. Like I said some are ok with it. I’m not. Do you carry that cz with all the toys on it appendix?

Well I don’t think so. Drove to Florida n back with a Glock 19 aiwb with jeans not some tactical pants

I can't imagine sitting in the driver's seat all day every day with a pistol stuffed down the front of my pants. My freaking belt buckle starts to dig in by the end of the day.

Oh and I've never said anything against 3 or 4oclock carry (9 or 8 that's a different story, gross wrong handed people)

Pretty much this.

See I don't get how that doesn't poke into your wiener or thigh. I think AIWB is pretty uncomfortable standing. Sitting is atrocious. I guess I just have 1 too many legs.

Got a ninja order today. From the post office on a Sunday? Guess this was because the status of the shipment didn't update since the 31st and someone messed up somewhere so they had to deliver on a Sunday to guarantee priority. Anyway here are the goodies I got and got done putting together the other goodies to practice with. Now just gotta get some talon grips and I'm 100%













The gunbelt is fantastic as well as the holster. The claw really makes a difference with concealment. I've been carrying for a few hours now sitting standing bending over and walking and it's like it's not there. The G19 with this rig is as comfortable and concealed as with my makarov (single stack and smaller). I highly recommend the Vedder belt and holsters.

12 o'clock isn't the only way to appendix. 2 o'clock with a forward can't is still appendix and the muzzle always points away from you.

Is that your 26 or did you get a 43?

Thx I haven't tried that method yet

It's a 26. I haven't decided yet on what to get for the wife yet.

I'm sure 99% of you guys already know this but perhaps someone may appreciate it

You are not tacticool unless you point it at your dick.

I can do 12:15 but not at 2. Holster hits the hip bone to much and the 19 barrel pokes into the leg

Cant it. Problem solved. Before my Glock I carried a 5 inch 1911 there.

I've got a similar holster. The Foxx Trapp. I removed the top screw from the clip. With one screw only, you can cant it to whatever position you want.

Like I said, I haven't taken any training, just do what is comfortable and isn't showing everyone that I'm carrying. I'm not fat, but I'm not skinny. When I first started carrying, I carried 4:00 iwb, it wasn't uncomfortable, but it was noticeable that I was carrying more than when I carry at 6 now. I can carry w/ normal shirts now that are pretty form-fitting (not bro tight) and don't look baggy and I don't print at all. At 4:00 I definitely print a lot more.

I should take a class just to go over my personal preferences and see what an instructor says. I get the whole arm pinning thing as a reason not to carry, and maybe the whole "if I fall" thing, so that's why I'll ask the instructor. Until then, I'll keep home training with this until I am told that it is wrong. Thanks for the heads up though.

Look for a trainer that will do a one on one class for you.
