Not budget friendly but it carries damn well, I do 10-15 mile hikes a few days a week, and carry in weight room etc its always comfortably on me with fast draw access.

great points and very true. over the years ive gotten over a dozen different holsters to try different styles and carry methods out. you have to play around with things and not be afraid to adjust it to your liking so it fits your body. also sometimes your body changes and you gain or lose weight so your carry methods might have to adjust to keep up.

Reno, I love your stuff. Just as an aside - I made my own Hunter Constantine belt, purchased material off Amazon - sewed it up myself. Funny enough, I used a thin metal ruler and some plastic strapping to reinforce the appendix position. I made 3 versions out of the material I purchased for $20. Let me say - that design is AWESOME - I just stole it and made some modifications. I plan on making 2 of my friends a belt as well. It is a great design, but with a few dollars worth of material - one can be made yourself. I didn't use anything fancy, hand stitched - all in all about 2 hours worth of work. I love it.

[@themightycrixus1131]

Welcome to the club

[@Jordan-ql6tm]

Gunzee dense foam pads you can cut to custom shape and velcro to the holster and a tear drop foam pad have been an absolute game changer combo for me. Have the Gunzee up high enough to slightly ride above your pistol and canted snough to cover the optic and you can clvery comfortably apendix carry all day bending, lifting, running, driving getting in n outta vehicles, clombing no issues at all. I've tried all of their models as I became a product tester when they first started the business and my pad 1st gen pad only kasted bout a year. I sent an email tellin em how it broke down over time and they asked if I'd like to test some improvements they had in the works and that they were a brand new company. Super chill cat's and ive tested 3 new generation's and absolutely love the newest 'Heavy Duty' line which stands to my 16+ hr a day wear abuse. Gets wet, best up, bending n flexing all day and this model has been a straight perfect trooper, can't recommend considering them enough. They are successful enough We The People holsters have now tried to copy similar design 😂. I've ewuiped with a slightly chunky tactical tummy as they say 😂 so i can attest to real all day comfort. But i prefer a LAs Concealment: Shogun holster very slim n streamlined and a pair of separate mag carriers, nothing gonna ve more comfy over time that for movement all day. I do have an LAS side car rig which I can comfortably carry a comp sized g35 w/tlr1 for around town and light activity but a separate holster w/carriers cant be beat for heavy activity being very mobile. 2 Discrete Carry clips on the holster adjusted properly for a full purchase notta damn monoblock to keep it where you want it is key. Monoblocks for the carriers are great. Qore Proformance plate carrier shoulder pads are perfect for your belt if you prefer ratcheting belts like Nexbelt or Kore Essentials like i do for those hot spots on your hips. Figured a guy who DOESN'T look like The May should chime in with a solid option thats worked long term for comfort...since lets be real I bet maybe 2 outta 10 of us look like Reno currently 😂. Lost 40lbs but still gettin at it so in the mean time use those damn pads they work 😂.

Excellent coverage. I was most unfortunately born 'pigeon breasted', as in I have little to no chest protruding out in front of my abdomen. I'm also 64 with many injuries from my youth, so I'm a bit plump around the middle, too. This makes carrying in the front of my body almost impossible. I have found that I can fit a tiny Canik MC9, even with an M01 sight installed, using a specific holster, in the appendix position, and still sit, drive, etc. and remain concealed effectively. So far, that's it.

next time you're at the grocery store, take little random looks at other people and guess who may, or may not be carrying concealed. That will tell you how other's don't really notice you're carrying either. Even if you have a 3'oclock print from the back of the slide, most people won't automatically assume it's a gun. I may or may not have accidentally walked into some places that prohibit firearms, and nobody noticed at all, and I carry in a way that typically prints at least a little bit.

Jeans belt and no holster is the most comfortable way to appendix carry in my opinion. Only downside is i dont keep one in the head if i dont have a holster. Im a tall guy so my pockets are usually pretty big. Pocket carry with a holster and a mag in the waistband gives me the most confidence.

[@farklestaxbaum4945]

Appendix carry works good for a bodyguard, undercover cop, gun store employee or Instagram. For average people who have normal jobs its not doable. I have tried it with over a dozen guns, over a dozen holster brands, 6-8 different belts. I'm 6ft tall and I've tried it when I was borderline underweight at 158lbs, muscular with a 6 pack at 173lbs and overweight at 200lbs. It was NEVER comfortable to sit/ drive/ move around. If you have an office job where you're sitting most of the day its terrible and actually less accessible than a belt holster. If you have a blue collar job where you are moving around its not possible. It is only tenable for people whos job is based around having a gun, or influencers making up stuff online.
