Appendix carry pros/cons?

[Don't tread on me]

I've never been an "open carry kinda fella." (I don't mind those that do one bit) Not for some of the reasons you sometimes hear. Like, "I don't want to advertise that I have a weapon." Or, "I want someone to see it as a deterrent." etc.... I just don't have any training on firearm retention. However, I've got a lil P365 that I usually carry in a Blacksmith tactical AIWB holster. What are the pro's and cons that you all see with this method of carry vs others? As always thanks in advance!

For me, it tends to jab into my thigh when sitting unless I adjust it. I carry a Dagger (Glock 19 clone) so it’s got 1.5” extra length over your P365. Otherwise I don’t have any issues appendix carrying. I tried to carry on my side but it wasn’t comfortable and I don’t understand the back carrying method. Side and appendix are more natural to draw from but appendix conceals easier for me.

I thought appendix carry would be very uncomfortable until I tried it a few years ago, and now, it’s about the only way I carry. My guns are either an airweight J frame Smith or a Glock 30s, and my holsters are cheap thin kydex.

It’s been the best way to carry for me. I carry a glock 26 in a relentless tactical holster. It’s comfortable and very concealed. I’ve been carrying appendix for about 5 years now.

I'm interested in the holster for your J frame. I've got (well, actually my wife has) an airweight 642. Point me in a direction of what ya got.

AIWB only for me (unless I am in a suit and then it's a Seecamp 380 in pocket) with a G43X and 16rnds of 50g 9mm in a trigger guard kydex clip. SUPER light and can't feel it's there.

Pro: it’s pretty comfortable and a great way to conceal.

Con: you could shoot your dick off.

 

[OHJEEZE]

Pro: If your gun goes off in the holster, (especially while in the sitting position) your probably not going to live long enough to have to explain what happened.

Con: If your gun goes off in the holster, (especially while in the sitting position) your probably not going to live long enough to have a (way back when) story to tell.

You will never convince me apendex carry is a good idea. It is wrong in all ways.
Someone once said "Dont point a gun at something you dont intend to shoot."!

But, hey, feel free to decide for yourself!

It's not appendix carry, but I love my SmartCarry. Yeah, I was worried at first about shooting my groin area, but after awhile it feels natural. It's also a great way to carry cash, and my license.

I would really like to avoid the latter, lol
