How to Appendix Carry for Fat Guys (continued) / EDC

- This is a follow up video to my original "How to Appendix Carry for Fat Guys". Hopefully this adds more context, as well as gives you a complete overview of how and what I carry now. It's a long one but hopefully I touched on everything pertinent to CCW for big dudes.
The holster carrying my P07 is from FDO industries. I was able to purchase it from their Amazon store and has performed outstandingly.
Finally an AIWB video that addresses sitting and standing! It’s like most guys leave out the part about adjusting before/after sitting/ standing which made me think I was doing something wrong! Thanks for this video, best appendix carry I’ve found!
right on ! just saw this a few minutes ago, he gets right to the jest of the appex carry from his experience doing it, I thought He did a awesome job too !
Good video on the access of the platform for bigger guys. However, I prefer strong side for reason while sitting, ie. at a table, that table top could interfere your access esp. on the draw as that table top is closer for us heavier guys. You must have clearance. Not a drawback, but must be aware of that frontal contact that must be cleared on your upward movement on the draw.
@@johngrunwell2412 what would Jesus do? He’d flip that fuckin table out the way
Jesus.... put it in the perfect words as far as the mental aspect of getting used to it being pointed straight at your dick lol... it takes some mental practice for sure

I absolutly cracked up at the dog coming in behind him and looking dead into the camera, fully expected it to roll it's eyes or something.
I love Boxers.
I was waiting to see a thought bubble above the dogs head.
Peoplw who don't like dogs aren't to be trusted.
Exactly 😂😂😂😂
That look on his face…. Cracked me up
Thank you for the honesty of this video. I’m working on weight loss, but I need solutions for right now. Thank you.
How did the weight loss go?
Well done! Outstanding AIWB video for anybody not just heavy guys.
This is one of the most useful videos I've seen to date on what to expect when carrying appendix style.
Thank you
Probably one of the best informative videos I've seen to date and you didn't feel compelled to use tacticool fluff. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Your dog’s photo bomb was the best part of this video! 😆
ya, keep the holster and give me the dog
for belts, I recommend a ratcheting belt. It's so much easier to adjust your belt, which is especially helpful when appendix carrying because you can loosen or tighten it without any hassle
Thanks! I was wondering how I was gonna get around that gut! Lol 😂 I subbed because us fat guys gotta stick together. On a serious note, great 👍 video and information.
Lol awesome! Thanks for watching!
As a fellow fat guy I agree that the basic appendix type holster with the wing is more comfortable than the sidecar rigs that have become so popular and I also carry a CZ , I chose the P 01 omega for the same reasons as you chose the 07 I felt it was more safe withe the double action pull and for me the extra weight of the aluminum frame is a non issue. Great video !
Thank you for this review. This video answered the problem with my deciding on a carry belt. After watching this, I went online and ordered myself a belt. Great review and great information. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I really appreciate it!
Awesome! Thanks for watching. Glad I could help.
I'm a big guy..5-11 trainer belt works for me..I gained all my weight in the last 3yrs due to brain tumor ..severely put a damper on my exercise
Good how-to. Appreciate that you spent so much time figuring out the many variables, caveats, helpers, etc.
Pistol Pete Thanks bud, I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
Im a bigger dude and tired of carrying on hip, im going to have to try make apex work for me so I really appreciate your work n effort n time in putting a well thought out simple to understand video on this topic for us, I hope appex works out for me, my last way will be shoulder holster, which could be my best option, but I never tried apex even when i was young n had a 32 inch waist , now its 42 inch, but I'm 6'3 n muscle n fat so carry my beat up old vet body around with all 280 lbs. Thanks much n stay safe everybody
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have further questions. You can also checkout my article on this topic that was just published in Skillset Magazine
This is the best/ most informative video I’ve found! Thanks! Getting an FDO for sure!
Tanner Stanley Awesome. Thanks for watching!
Great video. Very informative and descriptive. Been carrying for 25yrs. and never considered a couple of these things. Well done, thanks.
Another belt to look at is one you've probably already considered and that is the Kore essentials. I just picked one up and i'm kicking myself for waiting so long. Micro adjustments through the track system make adjustment quick and precise and it provides a GREAT platform to draw from. Also it doesn't LOOK like a tactical belt, so it can be worn for EDC or even when not carrying. The only drawback is that it is pricey, but you'll go a long, long time before buying another one.
You hit the nail on the head. And that being a SA/DA weapon. With a heavy pull for your first round, there is no way for me to an accidental discharge.
Second; I’m “full figured and appendix carry. I had my holster custom made. I had a cant built in the holster pivoting the weapon back towards my hip. It made, for me, a smoother, more natural draw.
Undershirt is the most beneficial thing I’ve learned to keep my gut in and keep my pull smooth.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been concerned as a “big guy” how to properly carry
Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to subscribe!
You did a fantastic job of covering all the material concerning the appendix carry.
I have no choice but to subscribe.
Kudos
I'm a big guy also,been carrying for years appendix. 1st,I wear my pants at my waist not under my belly. Makes it more comfortable and don't have the gun in between my thigh and my junk. 2nd, there are some companies that make side mounted mag holders. Way more comfortable. I made some out of high quality elastic,I bought it on eBay 6 feet for $12.00. Works great. Stays right up against my belt. Belts. I bought about 5 yrs ago now, 1' 1/2" Amish leather belt with out buckle on eBay for $30, and $10 For a good belt buckle. Been working flawless. Gd luck,stay safe and uphold our 2nd Amendment rights.
Best vid on the internet for appendix carry tips and tricks. Well done.
Thank you for the video. I have a ruger ec9s and was confused why it was so uncomfortable to carry appendix, thinking that because it was a smaller gun it would be more comfortable. But the point you made about the length of the barrel inside your pants and pelvic contact completely makes sense. I'm on the lookout for a new holster that allows the gun to sit deeper in my pants
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching
the dog pulled up, like "what the hell are you doing"??
😂😂😂
His dog was looking like "Dad, what you got for me to eat?!?!?" "Oh, nothing...ok bye!"
LOL, I'm restored in hope. Thanks for making this video for those of us who are plump at the waist.
Really appreciate the details you go over. I’ve been having trouble getting my rig to sit properly without printing significantly. You’ve validated some of my theories on gun length vs. holster length and pelvic contact/holster angle.
KP Gramps Awesome! Thanks for watching!
If you have a gun i would recommend trying 2.30 with a decent cant. I do it and it works pretty good
By far the best aiwb video for the average dude I've seen. Thank you I've learned alot.
Awesome. Thanks for watching!
Wow! Lots of good information there. Thanks, I got a couple some good tips. You put a lot into your presentation.
Fred Kumm Thanks! Check out my other videos and don’t forget to subscribe. Let me know what else y’all would like to see
Great, practical, informative video. Good job!
What you said about the gun tipping out, is why I'm going to Glock 19. I've carried a Kel-Tec 9 for 23 years but I believe the barrel being too short is why I have a hard time not printing. So with other people's opinions, I've decided to try the Glock 19, because it is a longer barrel and I'm hoping that with that and the wing it will actually be easier not to print. I'll find out soon, I'll be picking up the new gun this week.
Just ran across your video. A lot of very good information. I appreciate your honesty not all of us have a 30” waist. I especially like the lean back approach to draw. As we all know seconds count. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Thanks man, I really appreciate it
Big guy here. I carry at 1:00. No problem at all. I carry everything but my 1911's. They dig in me a little, but I can do it.
What holster are you using I'm using a p320 carry
@@settlesmachiningtools8671, just a no name regular AIWB bought off of eBay. No sidecar. I just loosen my belt a little.
@@settlesmachiningtools8671, similar to what he is showing.
@@62dobie I appreciate it I'm looking at fto industries website now I'm heavily thinking about it
@@settlesmachiningtools8671, it's not hard to do. If it's something that fits you, you can do it. It mostly depends on the pants you're wearing.
Great info. Have been considering appendix carry for a bit now but always felt my gut prevented it. Now I know better. Thank you very much.
Don Wilson Awesome. That’s what I like to hear. Thanks for watching!
@@yota_blaster5030 YW. Just subbed so I'm looking forward to watching more of your vids. Keep up the good work.
As a fat dude, by far my favorite way to carry a spare mag is the "MagHolder" (one word). Clips over or under your belt and holds the mag horizontally. I can get stupid fast reloads and as long as my shirt tail is long enough to cover my belt (as it should always be lol), my mag stays concealed. And keeping it horizontal keeps the mag from jabbing me in the belly. Only mag that's printed for me has been a 21 round p320 mag.
So compared to the Neo Mag, the MagHolder doesn't take up any pocket space. It's only barely higher on the body, so it's easily accessed from concealment. And you can get a full grip as opposed to the pinch grip with a Neo Mag. Plus, it's $25.
Nice! I have a belt from We The People Holsters and they have a Velcro sleeve that does this exact same thing! I love it because it keeps it tight, the Velcro is strong, and most importantly I’m not getting stabbed in my side
Very informative, thanks for covering the sitting position and belts.
Loved the Dogs Cameo
Thanks for watching!
I appendix carry and I agree with everything you said. I’ve been through a lot of different carry methods and appendix carry is the best for me with a 3.8” barrel or so.
I live in Illinois. When I was shopping for my first CC firearm, I looked at several to get a feel for the grip and the trigger break as my hands are not large but they are thick and meaty. Do your research and compile a list of quality firearms before you go shopping. My list consisted of 17 to choose from and even though the gun store that I went to did not have every one of them on my list, I still had a wide variety to look at.
Don't buy a SIG, Glock, Walther or Hellcat because John or Jane said so. Find one that fits you as you will be the primary user of your next firearm. After you have narrowed down your search from your list to just a few, only then can you choose by price, if that's what you wish, as you know that you will also have a quality firearm that fits your hands.
I eventually decided upon an optics ready S&W Performance Center M&P9 Shield Plus with a 4" barrel for CC and I also purchased 2 more 13 round mags for when I'm at the range. I picked it up on Nov. 20, 2021 and I have not been to the range yet but I will soon enough. My only current problem is the ability to find a decent holster that comfortably fits my fatness. lol
Joseph Robinette Biden is the best firearm salesman that I've ever seen. Let's go, Brandon! \o/
My SIGs fit my hands perfectly, doubly so since I got the Wilson Combat Grip Modules.
@@s6xafterse7en
If it fits your hands then that's great. But please note that not all hands are the same and firearms will fit differently for each individual. Enjoy your new firearm. :-)
Good video. I bought this belt about a month ago. The only problem I have with using it the way you are, which is basically the way that John Lovell shows, is that it is almost impossible to carry a sheath knife or multitool on strong side. The way the velcro has to go would have to go over any sheath.
I slide the buckle to the left, actually on the left side of the front left belt loop, and attach the holster in apendix on one layer of belt, then overlap the holster clips with the velco end. This brings the end to front instead of the side, if that makes any sense, seems to work good. That way I can still carry a multitool on my right.
Anyway thanks for the vid.
I had that problem too but honestly I can’t stand having my multi or anything on the outside of my belt, it gets caught on everything. So I just use a pocket clip for that and my hand light.
@@yota_blaster5030 I hear ya. I've gotten used to it, I carry a small Buck xtract tool so its not as big as some. I have ruined a few pocket clips snagging stuff too, seems like a little Kershaw Volt II I had was bad about it. Anyhow, keep on keeping on.
Thanks for the truth bro! 😆 I'm a 6,2 guy at 265 lbs. 5 years ago I chimed in at 380lb! That said I still have a belly plus bad loose skin! I also carry a Sig p365 in a kydex holster. It's absolutely Hell pinching my skin but I suck it up! I'd rather be in pain to be unarmed! Anyway great points and video. Don't shoot your junk off and always stay locked and loaded!
Scott Hall congrats on the weight loss dude! I’m sure you know but there are a lot of options in terms of compression clothing for men that serve that very purpose of tidying things up and helping avoid the pinch. Keep up the strong work and thanks for watching!
I'm about the same, I have a p365 in a leather holster with a tongue flap that rides up to the back of the slide. I carry it 3 o clock just under my love handle and it disappears. Super comfy all day. I dont understand the push for appendix carry as a chunky guy. just carry whats comfortable and find the right gun/holster setup for you. I hate guys that are like "i have to carry a full size sig" or whatever. It aint about getting into an engagement firefight, it's about self defense.
@@yota_blaster5030 thanks man!!
You are a Real Bad Ass!!! I could not see how to carry this way! Stressed to Loose the Gut ! Bad Ass!!!!! Thank You !!! New Subcriber For Real !!! Yes!!!!!!!!!
This is a good video. I'm built very similar to you and run a G19 Gen5. Getting my CCW soon and need idea for carry methods that balance practicality with comfort as best a possible.
The dog had me dying laughing with his nosey bystander face. “Who is he talking to?” 😆😆😆😆
Thanks for that leaning back tip. I've carried at 0100 for years and never tried it👍🏾
Great video! Very good advice regarding clothing and belts. I have a bit of a belly so I was worried about appendix carry especially when sitting but this reassured me. Thanks!
Very informative, thanks. First video I’ve seen that also addresses carrying a short barrel pistol in appendix. You’re absolutely right I carry a Sig 365 3.1” barrel and have the issue of my gut pushing it out, not much but enough to make it annoying. I’ll definitely look into getting a longer holster. Never thought of that. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for taking the time to put this informative video together.
I have the exact same CZ P07 but never thought to try AIWB with it. I usually carry it at the 3 o'clock position in a Tagua thumb break with either a Amish bull hide belt or a 5.11 Tactile TDU belt.

good video
its refreshing to get real life knoledge
and also a bonus of no sales pitch
Love this video brother, very informative. I’ve leaned alot just from this one vid.
Kelbert Connor That’s awesome man, I appreciate it. I just posted a video with the reload times for various spare mag holsters, you should check it out. It pairs well with this video
Thank You for your detailed review and description on bigger guys appendix carry.
This was very informative as well as detailed oriented.
Thanks for watching!
Funny how we call our most valuable possession our "junk" lol
I’m gonna start calling it my value pouch.
@@mrwashur1991 I will follow your lead my good sir. Value pouches out for Harambe.
I call it my “unit” watch your unit!
Only those who appendix carry call it their junk because clearly they don't give a shit about their junk when they place a loaded gun with the safety off directly pointed directly at their pecker. The rest of us who choose to carry in literally every other position refer to it as the family jewels. I'm starting to think that appendix carry people secretly wanna be a women cause all it takes is one negligent discharge with a round in the chamber and the safety off like an idiot. By the way anyone who carries a glock fuck you. You assholes don't even understand how many other guns exist that are a million times better. Being excited about a glock is like being excited about driving a honda civic.
@@vitalityfox i like to carry 2 revolvers. On my back. Like john MCmacdaddy from diehard. But when i need deep concealment i carry a judge up my asshole.
Good tip on the "pelvic contact". The muzzle end dig with the tip out is real. Ugga.
Pelvic contact is slowly coming to realization for guys and I think it’s a huge component of making sub compact pistols comfortable to carry.
@@yota_blaster5030 amen
Man the day I accidentally tucked my shirt into my underwear in a rush in the morning changed my life! Shirt never comes untucked anymore and like you said stays more tidy. Don’t knock it til you try it
Really now 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Never even thought about doing that, the back of my undershirt always comes untucked by about midday. Will definitely give it a shot next time I go out
Underwear?
@@articwhite653 LOL 😂
Nice to see a real man size man showing us a CCW. We full size men are cuddly and lovable
I like to see that FDO holster. Love their stuff. Have their holsters for all my guns
Can't agree more about placement, adjustment and last but not least, the DA/SA gun.
I make my own holsters and realized the " pelvic contact surface" the hard way.
My Bersa TPR C , with a short holster,tended to tip away from my body since the most of the weight resulted to be in the 13 round magazine.
By the way, the look in your doggo's eyes is heart warming! Cheers!!!!
Nice video, I am sure this was not entirely comfortable to film but you did great.
Really good video. Appreciate your not being shy about weight as it helps us chubby dudes just getting started. Awesome content!
Thanks for watching!
Always wondered what that wing on some holsters was for thanks for explaining
Great video. Very well done. Thanks for the Apendix carry holster recommendation also.
I just got a edc belt that material from kore it’s was $75 but it’s amazing I love it.
Link?
Paul A just google kore essentials
As a fellow fat guy of your same build, I would
Definitely say the Glock 26 with +2 factory mag extensions in that same T-Rex Appendix holster is the most comfortable carry option out there.
Yea but then you gotta carry a Glock.....ewww. Lol jk
You can also attach velcro loop to the face of the holster clip and use the velcro hook on the belt to help secure the holster so it doesn't shift
Thanks for the great information. I'm getting ready to purchase my first pistol, and am learning a lot about what I need to make my package complete, so it is usable right away.
Congratulations, that is great to hear. I'm glad this information helped. I would recommend purchasing extra magazines and lots of range ammo as soon as possible. I'll be posting a "what's in my range bag" video soon as well which will go over exactly what it sounds like. Thanks for watching, please don't forget to subscribe for more content.
It was a helpful video-granted. The dog however.......the dog got you the like. : )
Thank you for better insight for us big bodies.
Thank you! I’ll try your suggestions. I don’t like 3:00, and hadn’t been able to sit with anything close to appendix because of how it pushes and pulls at every bit of my safety padding. Best I have found was 11:00 for cross draw, which I don’t like, but at least I could stand it and could find it comfortable. Thx for the practical suggestions!
I carry off body in a 5.11 in a select carry pouch or a comfort tack belly band, I like the belly band because you don't need a belt and it's easy to adjust/move around.
Thank you for the video.
Thanks for this video. Have looked at the holster you are using and have ordered one with a bit of an upgrade to allow me to use my Olight Valkyrie mini too. I use a SNAGMAG holsters for my spare magazines. I also use the same belt which I too find are truly awesome. I agree with your review of the belt too. I was interested in how you wore you belt as l use a Society Clinch Pick that I also carry on my belt. I will have to adjust my setup to see haw things workout. Thanks for the great demo.
haha glad I’m not the only guy with dun-laps. Thanks for doing a common sense video... if you don’t think all this through, you’ll wind up not carrying! I’m always about comfort. Also want options, don’t see much on ankle holsters, but I’d recommend adding that to your options list.
Lo e it! 1st time CCW, got a hawg holster and it's weird feeling.
I love this belt from WPS!
Boywonderr71 Awesome. Thanks for watching!
Try tier 1 axis slim.
good content, im sure lots of people needed this video. Thank you
Thanks dude, I really appreciate that.
I'm kinda a big guy and I just can't carry appendix. I have to use at 3 o'clock all the time. Maybe 4 o'clock sometimes
Ditto. Sometime 2:30, particularly in car. I adjust my T-shirt to free it from seatbelt, gun stays both hidden and accessible while driving. Always practice single hand draw as hands are always occupied.
Why do youtubers never demonstrate single handed draw from concealment? Will never be as fast as from uncovered OWB, but needing both hands to make obvious grab seems excessive.
@@finngamesknudson1457 exactly. I've gotten pulled over a few time's and I tell the cop that I have a hand gun and it's at my 4 o'clock and please trust me I will not go for it cause by the time I do if I was going to they get me first and then they laugh and say ok thanks for letting us know and do you have a permit to carry or is it open, so I say both then they just let me be and go on with the stop very easy here where we are. Thanks for the comment @FinnGames Knudson
@@peterpro2a - Exactly. Be calm and be adult. Haven’t tested it, but friends tell me that in Texas an LTC works as a get out of tickets card
As a fat guy myself, I appreciate the use of the straightforward term "fat guy".
No sugarcoating here….well, not metaphorically at least 😂
About these iwb holsters, are you allowed to sit with these holsters? I imagine people will be sitting for a good portion of the day.
Sure. Like he said, experiment. With the right setup you can sit pretty comfortably.
dj lu Yes, there’s a whole segment of the video dedicated to sitting down with this type of holster
Re belts. I had an Amish harness maker make my belt like 8 years ago. Use the belt every day and it still looks new, isn't warped or bent or anything like that. My belly is bigger than my waist so I use a load strap from the OWB holster over my right shoulder and down to my left side where I carry extra magazine.
Interested in this. I'm not fat, I'm pretty well muscled from 15 years of heavy weight lifting and so far appendix carry has been impossible because of the physical pain it caused, and utter lack of concealment. I'm starting this video hoping to get some answers.
So I just got my first holster and didn’t think I could carry appendix because I’m a super fatty but ironically it’s the only way I don’t print. Weird.
@@bobsmith-ji2uh I still have not been able to make it work. I will have to try with a smaller gun.
@@letsgobrandon416from the videos I’ve been watching it seems like people go through quite a few before they find what works for them. Good luck.

I'm a fat, short(er) guy, and I just started carrying appendix; still not really used to it yet, but I'm working on it. The sitting part is still a strong work in progress, for comfort. I just got a Vedder holster with a wing to try out, and it seems a little better than my old one.
I will also say that a regular leather belt with buckle would dig into my fat gut, even without a carry. I picked up an Ibyado nylon EDC belt with ratcheting buckle, and it no longer digs into by body. Came in around $40 from the Bezos store. ;)
@Scott Crawford yeah, I'm having to go back to the 3-4oclock, because I just ain't built to have a CCW sharing the same space as my junk and my gut. Hey, I tried, tho..
Great video! I appreciate you going through the adjustments when sitting. Other videos always seem to forget that.
Thanks!
dam... I will never be able to conceal carry. xD
Juan Fernandez small of the back.
If I can you can. 6"4 320 pounds lol. Got plenty of "gut" try anywhere from the 3:30 position to the 5:30 position or vice versa if your left handed.
Thanks for sharing.
Being a larger stature fellow I need to try different places to carry.
Lately carry IWB about 2oclock. Will try appendix with your guidelines.
idk how anyone carries like that. i cant even bend over to put my shoes on with it there or sit...doesnt look like you can sit with it there either man lol. not a fat joke just uhh i mean the guns pressing on your stomach idk how you sit
john russo put your shoes on first.
Yota_Blaster how? I carry a gun all day everyday everywhere. I dont wear shoes in my house i take them off in the hall Before i go in amd put them back on when im leaving the house. Plus i have to sit in my truck or on the couch to watch tv😂 bending and sitting in anyway i dont see how anyone does it
john russo I have a whole segment in this video for sitting. It’s easy if you have the right belt and utilize the information provided. I have a desk job and carry all day everyday
I have problems with my belt and pants cutting into my waste while I'm driving and I am not even carrying.
Jose O. Flex pants and quick adjust belt
Great video for us fluffy guys, I slapped on some velcro to my holster and put a gel heel insole on to act as a foam wedge and to mitigate the handle of the gun being pushed out by my gut.
That’s a great option! I have tried that but it didn’t work for my body type/shape but that’s the thing about IWB, it’s different for everyone. Thanks for watching!
Great video. Also love the CZ P07. Thanks for sharing.
I think IWB and AIWB are good ways to carry. I just recommend that people never re-holster the weapon without taking the holster off first. The vast majority of accidental shootings (not caused while cleaning or playing with the gun) happen when the person is re-holstering. Taking the holster off almost completely removes any chance that something will get stuck in the trigger while re-holstering. It also allows you to SEE if there's a problem with a foreign object and/or the holster itself (like leather holsters folding into themselves and causing accidental discharges)... and you can also specifically choose what direction you want the gun/holster to be facing when you re-holster, so if something unexpected does happen and the gun does go off it won't hit/hurt/kill anyone.
(I mention the unexpected, because one time I saw a person using an aftermarket P320 trigger with a trigger dongle have an accidental discharge while holstering, because the trigger pin was sticking out the side of the trigger, so when he re-holstered the gun, that pin snagged on the edge of the holster and as he pushed the gun into the holster it caused the trigger to be pulled. He went out of his way to not wear clothing that could get into his trigger guard and to also look at and inspect the holster to make sure there were no foreign objects in it to cause an accidental discharge... but he just didn't see the very tiny pin just barely sticking out the side of his trigger like 1/8 of an inch).
Great - thanks for a brutally honest video, great information honest opinions.. Carry On...
You have the best videos for heavier guys cuz apparently all the other videos where people appendix carry are under 170 lmao or if they are heavier they have a flat stomach so these sure do help guys with a bigger belly
Good video man, thanks. About the pelvic contact commentary, they make those foam wedges that you can stick on the back of the holster to prevent that.
Thank you. In regards to the wedges, anything that relies on adhesive is subject to failure when you introduce heat and moisture. So in my opinion extra kydex is more consistent and less prone to failure than the foam wedges. I would leave it up to personal preference though.
I had a mishap carrying iwb at 5 o’clock, never figured out what went wrong. Switched to a sa/da after that. I’d like to get away from carrying in that position but I have a gut. Appendix carry has been uncomfortable but will give this a try. I have added problem of living in AZ so it’s usually shorts and tshirt for me.
Just saw this and first, I love the fact that you didn't feel the need to show your gun was clear at the beginning and rack the slide seventeen times, stick your finger in the barrel, and all of the other nonsense. Second, I agree completely about the small gun holsters. I have an LCP (original but second gen) with an armalaser sight on it. Most of the time I have it in a pocket holster but I also have an IWB holster for it. I carry it appendix style sometimes but it does feel like it wants to tip out constantly. You do get used to it but most often I carry it in the appendix only if walking or standing and then I slide it back to around the four or five o'clock if needed. Great tips!!
it’s not “nonsense”. it’s to avoid issues with youtube.
The shirt transition made me sub and like. I'm a simple man.
Great video. I use a nextbelt I like the ratchet style belt.
I carry a g19 and p320 both with red dot and lights. The g19 is in a vedder light tuck with wing, the p320 is in a werkz m6 with wing and straps not clip. I use the vedder mag carrier as I can conceal it that way. I tried sidecars they did not work. I usually wear a regular white Hanes tee and then a lose fit shirt over that like the workout sweat wicking shirts or a regular shirt just a size bigger. I have no problem sitting, standing, walking. One thing about appendix figure out in advance how to use the restroom standing at a stall as some don’t have dividers so you don’t show your gun . I carry right at 12 or 1215. I also got the clinger cushion that goes on the back of your kydex holster and makes it more comfortable I have them for all my holsters.
Very helpful video. Thank you.
Just saw this, good info. Been using Blue Alpha belts for some time, great belts. Use a Vedder Lite Tuck holster for a P365XL but carry a P365. Also use a wedge to make the package print less and more comfortable. I also found wearing the rig slightly off center aligned with crease works best when sitting. Great video. All good points.
Good video. I like it because you offers a lot of examples.
Carlos Fernandez thank you!
I’m 250 6’2. My holster is a g-code incog for my Glock 30s. Appendix is so easy with that gun and holster combo.
Love the clear detail. Thank you!
