You Tube Deleted - Is Appendix Carry Safe?

[@bigDrob]

There's only a need to come out of the holster quickly, no need to rush going back in the holster.

Thanks for re-posting. I didn't get a chance to watch it earlier, but was planning to.

It is weird. I watched the original one and I just liked the reupload. Thanks for serving the community.

[@brucecook502]

I have a big gut and already tried appendix carry and it absolutely does not work for me but carrying at my 2:45 works out perfect. It's super comfortable, and my gut actually hangs over the back of the grip and slide which helps drape my shirt over it so the gun has absolutely no contact with my shirt thus no printing, not even when I bend over or reach for something up high. It may not allow for quite as fast as a draw as if you appendix carry, but I've done a good of practicing and I think I draw it plenty fast.

[@CarryTrainer]

Find what works for you. Sounds like you have.

[@brucecook502]

@CarryTrainer 🙂

[@charlesbeall2589]

Great video. Because of "nearly" successful shoulder surgery, I'm unable to carry on my hip. My range of motion doesn't allow drawing in that position. Appendix carry has been the easiest and most comfortable for me. Even carrying my "brick-thick" PDP F-Series, I can carry tucked when needed. It really depends on how much thought and effort we want to put into something so important.

[@heywoodjablome2018]

Some states concealed mean no printing as well.

[@francostacy7675]

Telling someone you love them means very little, you need to act like you love them., that means by putting them before you and giving your most precious gift to them which is your time. I can tell somebody I love them, but if I don’t do that, they never feel it.

Ppl say you shouldn't look at the holster when reholstering the gun because there could still be a threat. DO NOT put the gun away until all threats are down

[@culinaryavatar9563]

The truth can be a very scary thing and reality even more gruesome. If people knew about the violence that actually happens around where they live, they would be scared to go out and about in fear of any violence. Safety is no accident!

[@MyName-tb9oz]

I kinda think that the long and the short of this is that these things are tools that aren't meant to be harmless. It's human error that causes these kinds of things to happen. Carelessness is not a good combination with a dangerous tool whether it's a gun or a table saw. (Yes, table saws will definitely kill you if you're careless.) I have been trying to drive that kind of lesson into my kids for years. It's a wonder any of us survive our teenage years. Great video.

[@CarryTrainer]

I agree with you. The item isn't safe, we are.

[@Brett235]

Yep. If I'm being careless (unsafe) with my chainsaw I could lose my life, pretty quickly. I've noticed that there are very few incidents with concealed carriers but hunters have a lot of accidents, and I am a hunter. Being careless with any tool could result in disaster.

A thumb safety on a 1911-style pistol would help.

[@Brett235]

I think so also. I don't carry a gun that doesn't have a thumb or external safety. From the time I was very young hunting and trapping safety was pressed into my thinking, it's second nature. Sometimes just a simple mistake can cause someone else, or even ourselves to lose a limb or a life.

Thanks. I’ve been carrying for a little over 2 years. Appendix is the only position I’ve even considered. I try to watch everything I can on the subject so I can pick up tips or be reminded of safe practices. I admit, I need to practice my draw a lot more. Can’t get too complacent.

All my handguns have safeties except one (Glock 17)...carry with round in chamber, hip holster, with safety on before reholstering...plus the obvious safety rules, like finger off trigger and so on...good video sir. If carrying the Glock, no bullet in chamber, so I usually don't carry this one...

Being small has made appendix a challenge. Most holsters have wings or extended bits below the trigger guard and those poke my thigh. Wedges and padding really don’t help much. I have gone with minimalist leather ones of good quality and thickness but get flack for not using kydex.

I don't prefer appendix carry, my choice. But guess what, this is America and you can and should make your own choices. Most of my friends and or family carry appendix carry with a striker fired pistol. I carry a SP101 5 shot 357 mag revolver.

[@lawwdogg1digr]

100% safe in the right hands. Carried appendix daily for 30 years now. You’d never know I’m armed if you didn’t know.

[@slick66]

Plz watch carefully the exact wording-it’ll have the same effect for you as it did me, the southern drawl law channel, recent vid is FL officer accidentally shoots… sorry I just got home from being hospitalized and was enjoying your videos I just know you’ll like this public statement- TY, Joe in Ga. 🎉 Merry Christmas brother

[@slick66]

We have exact logic-did you see the news 2 days ago very oddly described the officer reached into the man’s waistband and the pistol ‘went off’! (Can’t make this stuff up) driver did exactly as we are taught told officer he was armed and where the pistol was etc..officer ‘asked’ him to step out while he pawed around the man’s waistband to take his gun (unsure why) the police then described the event that the gun accidentally‘went off’ !! As tho there are multiple ways a handgun discharges? They had to apply tourniquet for same reasons you mentioned… as fewer laws limit armed citizens I’m afraid more people will be accidentally shot by untrained police! All he had to do was to ask him to place the firearm on the squad cars hood or something smarter… there’s just no reason to touch another man’s pistol let alone shoot him in the front thigh . :( I will tag you in another comment for you to see the copsplaiming the pistol ‘went off’. :(

I didnt realize it was called appendix carry, but ive been carrying my 357 there 30 plus years, and still have my jewels. Would never carry a Glock or anything else like that though. You do you.

[@1984WasNotFiction]

If ya think about it, there’s a higher chance of snagging the hammer of a revolver than a Glock mysteriously going off with the trigger covered.

[@1984WasNotFiction]

OWB hip carry for duty and competition where reholstering is going to be a thing. Appendix carry is perfectly safe and fine for concealed carry where drawing will only happen in defense. Fact is you stand a chance of shooting yourself with a bad draw stroke from either position.

[@allensharp-to4cq]

Never point a gun at anything you aren’t willing to destroy.

[@CarryTrainer]

Indeed, which proper holster set up matters

[@salalbanese5537]

This was a great video, but if you are like me, I own a gun with a safety, it only come off when I am punching out, before my finger is on the trigger.

[@Ak-47wizard]

probably the unblurred image of the leg shot but other than that idk youtube be weird

[@Brett235]

I don't carry appendix, not because it's unsafe, it's just not practical for me. I'm constantly carrying things close to the front of my body and leaning against equipment. Carrying on my side is much more practical and comfortable.

Nanny state insanity

[@froglord1559]

Is flagging yourself with a handgun in a holster fine or is it considered huge red flag and if it's fine when would it be considered not okay?

[@CarryTrainer]

Ask that another way

[@froglord1559]

@CarryTrainer I mean with a quality handgun with no manual safety and a quality holster and the handgun is loaded and is there a chance that it could still be considered dangerous in the holster if edc? If not, why not and if so, when would it be considered dangerous? Is there a chance that something could still go wrong when the handgun is in the holster or do you just have to be very careful when putting it back in? If everything is considered good does it even matter when the gun is (flagging) pointed at yourself in that holster?

[@CarryTrainer]

​@froglord1559 to the best of my knowledge there is nothing man-made that is 100% fail proof. Hence the layers of protection. There are some striker fired handguns for example that when cocked are the strikers are storing all the energy needed to fire, the trigger only releases the energy Whereas some others such as Glock are only partially cocked and the trigger press pulls the striker back farther. The Kahr pistol is an example of a Double action. Their website has a cool video of how it works.

[@francostacy7675]

@@CarryTrainerbe nice to know which guns with strikers or internal hammers that have all the energy being stopped by the guns design and which guns are half cocked and the trigger press completes that process? Sounds as if you don’t like cocked and locked 1911s?

Femoral artery is more the concern then your junk. IMHO, either position is acceptable, good habits and training is your friend. Body shape, physical limitations, type and size of weapon all help determine the optimal carry position for each individual. Practice and be safety minded. Aka common sense.

[@jamesatlee2590]

It’s not pointed at your junk but an artery the size of your thumb 😬

[@RodCornholio]

Think about the rules of firearms safety. Now you need to think about that particular rule about pointing the gun in a safe direction. You be the judge. If you have the body type, technique, holster, pistol, etc. where the gun is NOT pointed in an unsafe direction (e.g. a body part for those who value it), then good for you. To be clear, I am not referring to where the gun is pointed when your hand is not touching it i.e. IN the holster.

It's self-evident that appendix carry is a bad idea. For all the reasons already discussed a half million times, or so.

[@Brett235]

I used to think that way. I was strongly against appendix carry until I realized that people have been carrying that way since the early 1700's. I don't carry appendix because of practicality, not because it's unsafe. I carry heavy things like concrete blocks and wood next to my body a lot, I also am always leaning against tractors or trailers a lot, so carrying appendix doesn't work.

[@Ultrarmx]

That’s why triggers with safety on them are not safe. Imagine if AR had them like Glock. I prefer a thumb safety.

[@user-zn5px6rp9o]

The trigger safety is to stop the tigger from pulling on its own if it’s dropped. A Glock has two other internal safeties intended for the same purpose. A thumb safety is just an extra one to protect against unintentional user trigger pulls

I have no idea what you're talking about when I appendix carry It is the quickest method and I can easily draw when seated I just lift my shirt and there it is. Appendix carry is actually best for seated positions. It's been proven for me when my wife and I were approached by two aggressive hitchhikers we were in a parking lot pulling out onto the road when they approached the gun was out and pointed through the door at them until they left It was quick and it was still hidden no leaning forward to get the gun from the 4:00 position.
