Quoted: Guess where your gun is pointed at 4 o clock when you walk anywhere Quoted: Forward cant. Whoever is in line behind me when I’m at the checkout with my Cheetos and beer is getting shot in the foot. View Quote Same - if they don't want to get shot in their foot, they better not Tailgate my "tail"... Bigger_Hammer |

Quoted: Google "Man shoots self in groin". See how many hits you get. What do you think all those guys were doing? View Quote Mostly carrying without holsters or with shitty holsters or playing with their gun inappropriately. An example would be the guy in Norfolk who shot himself in the groin after hopping out of the car to confront people screaming at him to slow down. He hopped out, yelled some profanity, and went to pull his gun carried without a holster to intimidate them and shot himself while the gun was in his waistband. |

Quoted: Shooting from a retention position is probably the best reason for people to take professional handgun training. I like his methodology of keeping ahold of his shirt to keep his support hand clear of the muzzle. View Quote I don't. What he's doing in that video would get him completely fucked in an ECQC evolution. |

Quoted: It’s not. It’s pointed straight between my legs. How TF are you sitting, dude?? Even if it was it’s in a holster covering the trigger.

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Appendix carry is superior to all other forms of concealed carry. Google "Man shoots self in groin". See how many hits you get. What do you think all those guys were doing? Trying to be faster than they can manage like the guy in the OP’s video. Also, why does tactical Timmy think there’s a rule against watching the gun back into the holster? It’s called lack of training. It happens regardless of carry position. |

I keep wanting to like appendix carry but I just can't find a way to be comfortable sitting down. I always seem to have something digging in somewhere.

Carry appendix most times I carry. I feel I’m most consistent with it. To each their own

Quoted: The dude negligently discharges into the dirt on his first draw. His second shot is in the dirt because the gun is angled downward. He's got a completely dogshit grip on the gun and it's flopping around like a fish out of water with the gun nowhere near his eyeline. At distance he manages to miss a goddamn B27 from like 7 yards, shooting way high and over the fucker's shoulder. Do you know how bad you have to fuck up to miss a whole goddamn B27? That guy is a fucking idiot. We are accountable for every shot we fire. There's nothing in that video that shows any awareness that you have to answer for where those bullets went.

Rules to AIWB:
1) Don't be a retard 2) Use a quality holster 3) Practice your draw and reholster during dry fire practice (you do dry fire practice right?) 4) Don't be a retard Follow those 4 easy steps and you won't shoot your dick off. |

As a fat guy this is not super comfortable
I make it work and my draw is faster than carrying at 3 or 4. |

Quoted: I keep wanting to like appendix carry but I just can't find a way to be comfortable sitting down. I always seem to have something digging in somewhere. View Quote AIWB is finicky. You have to have the right holster, placement, clothing, and belt to make it work. It seems like folks with longer torsos have an easier time AIWB carrying than those who have shorter torsos. A high waist seems to be less likely to allow for comfortable appendix carry. Even when you find a combo that works, subtle differences can make a huge impact. A different pistol carried in the same make of holster can be completely different in terms of comfort. And, of course, even 5 pounds of weight difference can prove decisive. |

Quoted: Even supposedly bad ways of carrying can be effective with enough practice. I was roommates in college with an Israeli, he was revered by the other Israelis on campus, over time I learned he was a junior officer who had "done some stuff" (denied being in Sayeret Matkal and involved in the Abu Jihad and Sheik Abdul-Karim Obeid, but always with a grin). Everyone says "Israeli carry" is bad but he could get my gun from IWB (back of jeans) empty chamber to rounds on target faster than someone with a chambered round and their gun in hand. View Quote One of my teammates is former IDF SOF. Worked an EP detail with him and watched him kit up prior to, he was carry a serpa holster SOB , watching him try to holster the pistol was very painful to watch. |

Appendix carry is fucking awesome, but it sure helps to not be fat so I can see why it isn’t popular in GD.
