(Concealed Carry) Appendix Carry Tips & Best Practices

[@grimnorofthenorth]

I just resubscribed, you had dropped gun content a long time ago and you just popped up in my recommended again! Good to see you back!

[@BehindTheGoldenCurtain]

Really good info here. I struggle with how to grip on the draw, just like you described. Lately I've been practicing the thumb over the backplate, and it seems to work more consistently. Great video!

[@scottamy6496]

Appendix is definitely the only way I carry and it fits my body the best. I use a sidecar type holster from LLOD(Last Line of Defense) and it's the Associate V2. It's an all kydex holster that's formed in almost a subtle v shape to conform to your abdomen and in this form it only needs one clip. I've used these for my M&P Shield, my Hellcat and now my P365X. As far as belts, I have a Groove belt and it's perfect for a small gun like the P365X or Hellcat, but I also use Hank's belts for awesome leather and Kore Essentials belts are great too, if not a little too stiff for me. I don't go up a waist size, I just get a size that's comfortable and as far as using the urinals, I just leave my holster in place and since I carry shorter barrel pistols I fish the willie out from beneath the holster and boom...good to go. Thanks for the video and keep up the great work!

[@jamesdelong6401]

Nice video. I just got my tier 1 holster a few days ago. Liking it so far. Learning and drying training watching as many appendix videos as I can

[@finch32141]

Great teaching!

[@iMotoTactic00L]

i carry appendix too with Tier1 axis holster plus Kore belt love it.

[@Zekenificent]

You covered a lot of info, I am looking forward to giving AIWB carry a try once I receive my holster from Renaissance Firearms.

[@kylewood8327]

Good points! Appendix is the only way for me too!

[@Blue-cq2hl]

I find I like mine to ride lower because if the grip is more in line with my hip it kind of folds right into the bend of my body along my legs wherever it is but might be that I'm a bigger human. Too high up and it just starts to poke out more and more whereas getting it tucked hides it as well as makes it more comfortable since it rides along the legs.

[@jamesvatter5729]

Guys that say, "You're gonna shoot yer junk off" never seem to take issue with their rigs pointed at their femoral though.

[@tonymachuca9471]

Take a look at warrior poet society. John covers in detail the dangers carrying apendex,3 o'clock,small of back.

[@i_kik_set]

When I have to use a urinal I loosen my belt(Nexbelt w/Supreme buckle) and pull the whole rig up a little..do my business, pull it back down, readjust and ratchet my belt back up. Nice and easy.

[@LoneStarLawman]

Reholstering improperly is the #1 reason, for appendix carry negligent discharges. Reholstering too fast, without making sure your cover garment is clear of the holster, or any obstruction. You slowly look down, and guide the gun into the holster, that MUST completely cover the trigger guard of the pistol.

[@diceydie-c]

I'm actually starting to carry appendix or at least attempting LOL and one thing I agree with is the holster makes all the difference in the world because I got a tier 1 holster in the mail today for my Glock 20 and I can appendix carry a full size Glock 10 mm with an optic more comfortably than I can carry it out of the waistband on my side lol but I have other holsters that are so uncomfortable if I tried to carry them appendix I can't even comfortably carry my hellcat

[@truno7]

Amazing video thank you

[@rarityd]

I'm glad you are back man. Thx for another awesome, vid. I've been with. Ye chanel thru it all lol. I'm still here. BTW, to me appendix is the best ways to carry ONLY if your tummy isntn too big

[@richardscardino6257]

It’s worse if you have a big belly and your not a heavy person . So difficult to carry AIWB .

[@jonathanbarker2592]

Solid video as always man! Give rise!

[@zachflores1505]

1 o’clock works best for me.

[@dmack346]

Good video thanks for sharing oh and why not just use the fly feature on pants when using restroom?

[@alexk7405]

appendix carry, easy for you to say, you don't have a gut. Good video quality, good content

[@chaburchak]

I feel much the same. Fine to say let the holster ride a little higher to make it fit the bend of the body, but when you've got a gut it's now on the most printable part of your body. And if you let it ride BELOW the gut, it's low locked in and undrawable if you're bent or sitting down. I do like the idea of appendix carry, just doesn't work very well for me...

[@chriskuczynskimusic34]

i have seen videos of "Fat guys" carrying appendix........it can be done......probably just need more patience and practice to get used to it

[@robk5437]

I just don't like holsters that don't completely cover the trigger guard with Kydex. If those are inside the waistband holsters anyway. Outside the waistband is different. That is why I prefer black Arch Proto's m. It gives me the best of both worlds. There is no better holster on the market in my opinion.

[@ntm7319]

Great content !

[@redowlmoon7733]

I think I want to I just don't think I can because of comfort and pressure issues

[@PrincipleCaliber]

Good video man. What jacket is that?

[@esbam2002]

Not sure why peeing is a problem for people. I have a Tier 1 concealment Axis Slim and an Aegis belt for a G19 and P-07. I have no issues peeing at a urinal. I just act normal and don't lift my shirt over my belt line.

[@rcrinsea]

Are you back to doing gun content? I hope so!

[@arlie3334]

I carry 2 kinda cross draw but higher then my belt

[@Yashouldahadav8]

What claw is that? Looks perfect

[@paulrobinson8344]

I wanna know too! I have an CBH LSD 2.0 but it didnt have a claw option that one looks different

[@Eddie70X7]

9mm M&P M2.0 3.6" Compact (15+1) or G26 Gen 5 for ccw? How much easier is the G26 to conceal than the M&P, is it a big difference? I'm 5'7 and 130 Lbs, could you see the M&P as too thick/big for ccw at my size? Also recoil difference? Trying to decide which to get, thanks.

[@heeebeeegeeebeee]

Just go for the M&P 2.0 Subcompact. It uses the same upper from the 3.6” you are already looking at but comes with 12 round magazines and a grip sleeve for a 15 rounder. That way you can carry 15 when you want but go down to G26 size when the situation dictates better concealment. It also has a rail and shoots better than a G26.

[@greenlightshooting1]

It's subjective at that point but I'd go M&P. Just get a good holster and make sure you use a wing/claw attachment and you'll be fine to conceal it.

[@Eddie70X7]

@@heeebeeegeeebeee Does the subcompact still feel balanced in hand with the shorter grip? I feel like it would be kinda front heavy with the short grip and 3.6" barrel.

[@ResplendentRaider]

Why doesn’t manufacturers make a AIWB holster for the G30sf?! Really ridiculous

[@SuperUsmc14]

what's your weight and height ? - for comparisons

[@TATE-d6z]

Can you tell me where you got that extended claw I have the reckoning holster but have shorter claw.

[@GreenGuyRanger]

I'm wondering the same thing

[@TATE-d6z]

What arc jacket is that ?

[@gwiltz1123]

Chad's never tried out a TXC lol

[@avsafetytek]

🇺🇸👍🏼

[@rustypugh123]

Let's face it. The truth is: carrying a pound or pound and a half of steel inside your waistband is never "comfortable" and never will be, regardless of the gun or holster. Yes, some are more comfortable than others (or more tolerable), but by definition, sticking a gun inside your pants isn't "comfortable." You just figure out the best combination you can live with and get used to it.

[@BrandensOutdoorChannel]

I tried appendix. It prints too much.

[@seanwhitman4365]

In no way shape or form is appendix carry comfortable especially with these giant sidecar holsters that are out now. Nobody is gonna convince me a Glock 19 on the front of ur belt doesn’t bother u.

[@koozie83]

I appendix carry. I'm far more concerned with putting a round through my femoral artery than I am about "shooting my junk off." Use your brains, people.

[@rapsol8966]

not the body type. not my option

[@lavioyantoos7390]

Crossbreed yes appendix carry no

[@BLACKWOLF-1911]

Not for me, at 57 I'll keep carrying owb. Ya'll aren't following one of the 4 saftey rules. Never point any firearm at anything you are not willing to destroy. I like my junk where it is and my femoral artery in tacked.

[@arfarfcore3320]

That’s an easy steal
