The Father Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Anyone out there do the appendix conceal carry? How is the movement factor and bending and such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 I always appendix carry. I sometimes appendix AND 4 o'clock. There are some here who can testify that I will appendix, 4 o'clock AND cross draw... plus mags. when I was fatter, carrying a hammer fired pistol was rough on the belly. My PPK/s would get adjusted several times in a car ride. Im MUCH smaller now, sz44 down to sz32, and swapped for a striker fired XDs 9mm. If you appendix carry, choose your holster wisely. Most of mine are leather or nylon, open top. No room in these wranglers for a kydex rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I carry cross draw , I do have to rearrange the rig when doing some things , because I even carry mowing the lawn or washing the Truck etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I have carried appendix for years, always wearing my Rosco just to the right of my buckle, at the 1 o'clock. Lately I've been moving over to a 12 o'clock position, directly behind my buckle. I'm finding I get much less "printing" on a larger variety of shirts. I generally wear Wrangler-type jeans and a leather belt with buckle, but on days like today I don't have any issues carrying in shorts and a gunfighter belt. Ive seen a few of the newer holsters designed for a pistol and magazine at this location. The most popular seems to be the G-Code Incog. I think I'm going to get in contact with LAG Tactical to design something similar, but to fit a pistol with a light. It's upsetting to me that there are so few options for subcompact pistols equipped with a WML. "Mexican Carry" (no holster) for the camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Ya know, I would wear mine in that position , but I still respect my manhood , even though its not used much the older I get . I carry mine off to the side , I would rather shoot myself in the femoral Artery . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exhail Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 A lot of people appendix carry. To each their own. However, the number 1 rule of guns is not to sweep anyone including yourself. I see a lot of "professional gun experts" on YouTube, disregard this when it comes to appendix carry. I just will never do it. It's just too dangerous, especially considering where the gun is pointed. When it comes to guns I'm just super paranoid. But to each their own.

edgecrusher Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 I’m with you but for a different reason. Muscle memory for me. I carry on duty at 3 o’clock. That’s where it’s always going to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you sweeping yourself ? I practice a lot with my carry firearm & when its drawn , its pointing at the ground till it comes up to point at the target & usually my first shot is instinctive , after that , follow up shots are sighted .

98Z5V Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Your gun is not just gonna "go off" on it's own. It won't fire itself. I appendix carry a G19 or a Springfield XDs45 - depends on the situation. I wouldn't appendix a Hi-point, just my own reasons. The gun isn't gonna shoot itself, and decide to shoot your dick off. Once I find a nice appendix rig for my Kimber RCP II, I'll carry that thing in there, too. I'm not worried about shooting myself in the dick-n-balls - that's either an unsafe pistol to carry in the first place, or very improper weapons handling. It won't shoot itself.

Appendicks carry just plain hurts with a 44" waist, unless standing at attention, parade rest, or at ease. None of which I have paid the least of mind to in 50 years. The four or five o'clock position rests upon a solidly built love handle and bulges unless I wear a modified moo moo a la grandma. I ordered a smart looking rig that I'll wear under a Hawaiian type shirt for now, eat more rabbit food and reduce reduce reduce. AIWB holsters are made for and should be considered a disciplined carry. No effin' jokesters or silly sallies. Carry is a serious business and should be done by serious people. I forget that myself at times, but this thread helped me remember. There are plenty of real reasons to carry today, even in the best of places.

RedRiverII Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 The above sounds like I don't joke around. I mess around all the time, day in day out. I don't sleep well and believe it or not just woke up again, cranky. Not that anyone gives a particular hoot, but thought I'd get it out there.

98Z5V Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 There's nothing at all wrong with appendix carry, if you have a good gun, and your weapons-handling doesn't suck. You're not gonna shoot your dick off, if those two rules are applied. Won't happen. Appendix carry is quite safe, and anyone that says different - post the data that it's not safe, with gun details, et al,... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Here's some appendix carry, from Jim Zubiena - look him up if you don't know who he is. This was from a "Miami Vice" in the mid '80s... Appendix carry is effective. Just do it right, with the right gun. Your dick isn't gonna get blown off. If you're worried about your dick or twins, that means you have no faith in the inherent safety of the gun you carry, or you don't trust your own gun-handling skills.
