Did you ever get this resolved or do you just like to complain?

Hi Jameson, thank you for your comment. No, we are not paid by companies to give favorable interviews. If you were to inspect all of the holsters personally, you'll see that they all protect the trigger completely. There is no access to manipulate the trigger when the gun is fully seated in the holster, including the appendix. What you might be seeing is that the bottom of the trigger guard is visible. The kydex fits tightly around both sides of it though, sealing the trigger guard assembly and trigger from access. It would be impossible for someone to insert their finger into the trigger without snapping the kydex in half by using something such as pliers or a screwdriver. Remember also that this is an IWB holster and the whole trigger guard is tucked inside the waistband, making it not visible and extremely inaccessible to even touch. There is no risk to negligent discharge while the firearm is holstered. The only time the trigger is exposed is once the firearm is drawn, which is exactly what it's designed for. Otherwise, I would never recommend it to my students or PrepperCon's attendees. I'd encourage you to purchase one and try it out. If you don't like it, you can always return it.

PrepperCon TV I saw another firearm instructor put their finger in the holster from the backside when the gun was in the holster and pull the trigger. He said if you can do this, then it's possible for it to happen. I would have to agree. I like these holsters a lot. He had a good point. Try it. If you can't figure it out, we can make a friendly wager and I'll put my money where my mouth is, per sa.

Thanks Jameson. I'll take a look in a few weeks when I'm back to where I keep that holster. I'll stand corrected if it's possible to do. I'm not at all in favor of holsters that don't cover the trigger. There are pocket holsters, underwear holsters, and some belly bands and compression shirts with pouches that cover the trigger, but loosely. My principal concern in all of them is not keeping it from being fired by an attacker while holstered, because in a concealed configuration it's not likely. There's more risk of it being pulled completely from the holster because the holster doesn't have a thumb break or other retention device. That leaves the self-caused negligent discharge from an object being introduced into the trigger (shirt, fabric, etc). As long as the holster material is sufficiently stiff and taut, the risk of this happening is very minimal. Still, every individual needs to come up with their own policy on what configuration they will carry their firearm with those particular holsters. If it means engaging an active safety or not having a round chambered, that's an individual choice I don't discourage people from making. I only stress consistency in the configuration they carry and incorporating that into their training draw. At any rate, I have no concerns with the Appendix holster and the degree to which it covers the trigger because it does so far better than a neoprene pouch, a nylon holster, spandex, etc. Nevertheless, I'll let you know if I discover what you say is true.

Yes, I have the appendix carry that I use in the small of the back as well (just off the to the side of the spine). I believe they now came out with a slim holster that has two clips, but it's about the same width as the appendix so it's the best of both worlds. It may be that they just make all the appendix holsters with two clips now. The appendix carry holster is great for shorts, tight shirts, or any occasion when having the full Onyx is profiling on the hip too much.

Do you ever wear the appendix at around the 4:00 position? I'm wondering if you can wear it comfortably at that position. It looks like it doesn't have the cant that the Onyx does, but I don't know that that's a big deal. Not sure about the small of the back -- is that uncomfortable when sitting? I see that they have the SG Onyx Mini that looks like the original Onyx but it appears to be a little smaller holster with two clips. Not sure about that one -- it appears to be some smaller, but still not sure of the size, and I'm not sure if I'm a fan of having two clips to hassle with when putting it on and taking it off. Seems like a holster the size of their new Scorpion holster without the claw would be the ideal size, and it just has one fatter clip. Anyway, just wondering about your thoughts on carrying the appendix carry in the "typical" 4:00 position, and whether it works well in that location. Any thoughts are appreciated.

In my opinion, you always want two clips if it doesn't take too much space. It really helps anchor the holster to your belt which is essential for drawing. The original appendix holster with one clip does cant quite well, but I'm not sure about the mini or those with 2 clips. It's definitely not more of a hassle to put on. They're quick release and you're probably not taking it on and off all day. I do carry at the 4 o'clock position, but not very often. Anytime it's behind the back, tighter t-shirts don't usually work that well because of the printing, especially when bending over. Any 4 o'clock or position farther back also generally requires moving the whole holster to a 3 o'clock when sitting down for a long time or driving. A thicker button down or jacket can cover it well, especially for a sub compact or micro frame, so it's just a matter of preference.

I'm sorry to hear that. Appears to be working well on our end.

We are not very high tech. Using a Nikon D3300 at 1080 and syncing it with the recorded audio from the live broadcast. I didn't start syncing it until later episodes though.

Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you like them. Very cool stove too. The North American distributor for them is Earth Easy who also distribute the LifeStraw.

playgroove change the description to have the links actually WORK ! Really dumb of you not to do that. I have links that WORK on my YT channel.

Great comments. That sucks though. I do the same for the different seasons and for almost every trip over 60 miles from home I add to or take away from the gear in my rig. As I made my trip today I knew it would be sub 0 F so I added more gear and supplies just in case. Didn't need em but I felt at ease as my vehicles display of the outside temperature reached a low of -22F!

Thank you sir!

Thanks! That's very nice of you.

Cass, My last vehicle was a 2001 4Runner. What an outstanding vehicle! Once we found out we were expecting our 4th child is when I purchased our 2005 4Runner with the jump seats in the back. Love this rig! Check out the latest video of the PrepperCon 4Runner Evader out on the desert.

We will be talking about prepping communities/groups/teaming up, next week, the 30th of November. Not sure how we can facilitate this for others just yet.

Sounds great thanks for the heads up.

Cass, thanks for listening! I'm very glad you like the show! We don't maintain a list of groups as the ones we know of are very exclusive/private and really not any kind of 'official' group. Being new to an area can be difficult to make connections at first. If I were you I would be just as weary at joining a group as any group would be weary of adding new people. Keep looking, listing and watching and you'll make some connections i'm sure. We have been planning on taking a show to talk about this topic. I guess we should move it up toward the top of the list.

PrepperCon TV thanks for the reply. I can understand the difficulty in getting with these groups, OpSec is very important. Looking forward to sharing your shows in my G+ community.

Wasn't me. Ha! Thanks for the feed back! :-)

+Jeff Justice Yes it is.

+Native Outdoors We're glad you enjoyed it!

+4 directions bushcraft Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Native Outdoors! This was a fun conversation! Jeff is a wealth of knowledge. We love having him on! Gotta have me a Robinson XCR now! :-)

Sorry that I missed your comment previously. To answer your questions you could visit her facebook page. She usually is quite interactive. facebook.com/msutahamerica2015/ Thanks for the comment!

FYI all. April 21-22, 2017 is the next PrepperCon. South Town Expo Center in Sandy, Utah. Same place every year!
