how the heck does one appendix carry?!

[falcon123]

Comment of the night haha.

Its called deep cover. IWBUG - Inside waistband under gut.

What if you get it stuck in the folds?

 

[fubar]

No point in wasting a perfectly good appendix.

I find little tiny guns can go in front without much trouble - Mustangs , J frames , etc. but I pretty much never carry a mouse gun anymore.

 

[Portagee]

I appendix carry a ruger lcr with a remora holster, easily adjusted when driving. However, I would never appendix carry a full size handgun.

Thats because concealed means concealed.

Wouldn't it have been easier to just remove it?

Have the surgeon sew in a zipper instead of sutures and you have a nice little concealable pocket there, even at the beach.

I appendix carry a J-frame and an SR9c with no problems. I'm 6'-0" 205 lbs. I find with appendix carry I am more comfortable because: 1. I print less, 2. Less chance of a bump frisk, 3. No chance of someone grabbing my gun from behind.
I've been experimenting appendix carrying my M&P full-size and that might be possible too.

I use Desbiens gun leather Appendix holster, workout, wear my pants a tad higher and a tad tighter than I normally would. It also will take a couple of weeks to get used to regardless. But it's awesome. I use it as a guide if I'm getting too fat.

 

[01SVTvert]

Don't wear tight pants. A size larger pants with a good belt works wonders

 

[grizquad]

Wrangler makes a "flexible elastic inside waistband" in their jeans for us older under exercised guys, very comfortable!

 

[gearjunky13]

Try small of back (aka SOB) carry. Most everyone I know carries that way.

Becarfull of that, i was told by a instructer of a good reason not to carry that way.

any time you have something like that on your spine and you fall on it, your looking at a high risk of screwing up your spine, since we live in newengland, the chance of this happening are not unforeseen

It happend to a officer when his belt got turned a bit and his radio was now at his back, he sliped and fell on it, and was in a world of hurt because of it,

6"2' 190lbs, appendix carry works great for me, from xds to 1911's. I have better and a more natural control of my firearm. Fast and easy draw.

 

[dennism]

5'8 180 and couldn't do it with a bodyguard 380 don't know how people do it with full sizes.

 

[Midnight412]

Appendix carry requires flat stomach to not weigh down and press the gun(s) into your crotch or handles digging into your gut.

Either get in shape or carry a sub-compact.

I'm 6'7" and 250# in decent shape. I can carry 2x M&P 45 FS (left/right opposing) and be mostly comfortable except fir extended sits in car seats

My name is XXX and I iwb appendix carry.

5'10" about 160lbs - My carries are a G30sf or Walther P99c AS 9mm. Lately I have been carrying the G30sf full time as it prints a little more and this time of year it is easy to cover up. I use an Alessi Talon Plus for both of them. Simple to unclip and drop the holster and gun on the car seat. Impossible to draw with a seat belt on though.

Have not found a side holster that works for me yet. Would like to try 4-5 o'clock iwb but no money for buying holsters right now.

5' 11", 200lbs, G17K AIWB in a Keepers Concealment holster.

I've been told by many trainers that AIWB is a type of carry where holster fit is very individualistic - a person might go through several types of holsters before finding one that fits their body style comfortably.

I myself went through five before settling on the Keeper.

The Raven Concealment VG2 also works for me in certain circumstances.

 

[Nick Fury]

I'm liking that Keeper. He's on to something with that one.

 

[skeetshooter]

Is that a gun in your pants or are you just excited to see me...

 

[LR308_GNR]

I'm 5' 8" and about 190lbs (no fat), I carry appendix style with my Glock 36 and 30s using a CompTac Two O'clock holster.

During the summer months it's ONLY a Ruger LCP in the front pocket.

 

[Boghog1]

this is one I am thinking of trying

 

[Yippee-ki-yay]

6'2" and 195#, started appendix carrying at 170 with a glock 17. Since then, I have gained 20# and switched to a G19. I try for 1-2 o'clock, seating my dale fricke archangel in my inguinal crease. YMMV, as always.

 

[Coyote33]

Despite what a few here have said, like I said, most people I know that ccw, carry this in the small of their back. Here are some options for you:

Small Of Back Holsters

Small of Back — DeSantis Holster

Galco SOB Small of Back Holster

SOB SMALL OF BACK HOLSTER: Holsters & Ammo Carriers: Belt Holsters at Galco

Dutch SOB Holster | Wright Leather Works LLC

Pro Carry SOB (Small of Back Holster)

Gould and Goodrich Small of Back Holster - G&G 806

Modified Small of the Back (M-SOB) Holster from Active Pro Gear Inc | Square Market

 

[Apathesis]

All I know is that IWB at 3 or 4 o'clock on my right hip aggravates the hell out of my sciatic nerve on my left side. It's downright awful after 6 hours.

Appendix carry causes no such pain, but feels weird.

 

[murf4321]

I roll appendix with M&P9 full size with the cheepo holster I bought from Smith & Wesson website and an M&P Shield at 4 o'clock with a Crossbreed. Overkill? Whatevs.

6'3" 215.

I appendix carry a gen 4 glock 21 in a De Santis leather deep cover IWB holster. I'm a big dude. It rides under my gut and just low enough where when I sit it rarely bothers me.

6' 240lbs

 

[Delta L Varmint]

I could stand to lose a few pounds, but I'm not a total fat-ass and the only way I've been able to comfortably carry regularly is a j-frame in my jeans pocket. No discomfort at all, just a little difficult to get at when you're driving.

 

[FreeWillie]

Do you really want a loaded gun pointed at your stuff? 4 o'clock works for me

 

[sweetjeep]

Interestingly I notice a lot of guys carry a full size gun in the appendix. I can see where this would work fine as it will ride in front of your gut and actually push it back.

For any number of reasons I don't carry full size which I suspect would actually be part of problem.

The mini guns (P3at, PF9) will sit just a shade over my waist band and allow my gut to get over it. Then when I bend/sit there is no where for it to go. With a full size gun it never digs into a fold (or with you skinny, no kid owning, bastards) there is no fold for it to dig in to and just moves upward with your belt.

Either way.. I see what's happening here. Or if you're midnight and you could appendix carry a sawed off shotgun. Either way, for me, no-go and I am glad I figured out why (because I'm a fatty and run a small gun). I'll let you guys work out the pun.

 

[Tyke]

5'8" 200lbs... no problems. Actually my preferred carry.

 

[Gammon]

I carried a S&W Model 60 in an IWB holster in the appendix position for many years in complete comfort. Along with the size/shape of the person you also have to consider the size of the pistol/revolver. I would not attempt to carry a gun much bigger than the Model 60 in this position.

 

[whacko]

If your only issue is when seated in your vehicle I recommend you unholster it and use the center console.....that's my routine.....then reholster when I'm getting out. I carry a DA only revolver btw
