Very impressive, guys. The motions are much bigger for strong-side draw. And lifting the t-shirt around the hip definitely seems a bigger challenge. I carry strong -side when I wear a suit with the shirt tucked in, but appendix the rest of the time. Now I need to work on the sub-second draw from each of them.
Yeah, Sawyer is almost illegally fast. But then all these guys in the Tier 1 group have impressive draws. I wonder if they have a video where they compete with each other to see who the Top Pistolero in Tier 1 is.
Great points to both types of carry. I'm 1.05 on average from 3:30 carry. I say get a sidecar appendix rig and strong side carry holster to see what you like more. The sidecar spreads out the pressure against the stomach to make it more comfortable. I like having the gun appendix more for retention purposes and strong side for safety reasons.
Ive tried a Tier 1 holster for appendix and my belly is in the way. Ive tried everything possible and its the most uncomfortable and hardest position for me.
When it comes to sitting inside of a car... I have a pouch/liner that is attached to the front seat of my car and I have an extra AIWB holster that sits and fits inside of that pouch nice and snug... No matter how I carry it makes driving more comfortable especially on long drives...
As a heavier person, I am going to go with appendix...I am used to carrying OWB strong side in a duty holster. So I have been carrying IWB strong side....but again....I am in the car a lot, and I would rather have access to my gun. I have also lost a tad bit of weight...so I am going to try appendix and see how it goes.
As a taller thinner framed guy aiwb is about my only realistic option if I want to actually have a full size gun on. With my Agis and Axis holsters the go to combo is dcc clip on mag side and plastic clip on gun side. Creates a flat profile on the belt for the shirt to sit against. Not necessary for everyone but a winning combo for me.
Great videos guys. Awesome comparison. I was a owb 4-5 o'clock guy for years and switched to aiwb about 2 years ago and never looked back. For me aiwb offers more control and comfort riding in a vehicle and conducting LEO operations in plain clothes. Like you guys pointed out you have to experiment and find what works for you and train train train.
interesting 430 position is the most comfortable and I don't even feel the gun on my back when sitting or driving. appendix on the other hand I feel it everywhere at all times and too much pressure on my waist and stomach for long days.
It's actually much easier to stop you from drawing with the Appendix Carry, especially on the ground. I can literally pin your hand to your belly. Strong Side is farther away from your opponent especially if you turn your body sideways. On the ground, it's probably better because your opposite will not be able to easily get it, if you're opposite is on top of you they might just be sitting on it or they might feel it and go for it while in a dominant position.
Thats a great point that I've never considered, I guess the trick is to find the method that has the fewest negatives and the most positives for you, seeing as no method of carry is perfect. I'm 5'10 175lbs, AIWB in a t-rex sidecar does the trick for me. I can carry a G45 / Holosun TLR7, with a 507C X2 with a flush fit mag in the gun and a 19 round spare and I feel good with that setup.
Wow, first time watching this channel, but they're both incredibly quick. The guy with the PDP (I have a C4) is insanely fast after the first trigger pull! I've only ever done IWB and OWB at 4:30, but am considering AIWB for both my PDP and Hellcat. I always figured the Cat would work, but PDP would be too big. Now rethinking that.
You can conceal literally anything at the appendix position. It’s the most ideal position for full size guns. I carry a PDP/Glock 17 etc no problem AIWB.
@@carryeveryday910 The challenge I've found is I have a comp (PMM) and light (Olight Baldr Mini) and there doesn't seem to be a AIWB that will accommodate them. Both my current OWB and IWB were built for this combo. If you know the PMM, it takes a special block fixture to put it on and off, so simply removing it a few times a week isn't practical, I almost never do, and I do not want to invest in a second light just for the sake of a holster manufacturer uninterested in supporting my setup. My 509T is set up for 50 yards, and my OBM's laser is set to 25 as a backup should the battery die unexpectedly in the RDS.
I currently carry a p10c and I love it. My next pew is more than likely going to be the pdp-f 4 inch. I don't have small hands and I know it's geared towards small handed folk but I held one at a LGS and it felt amazing. Plus I prefer to carry compact (glock 19) sized pews.
I wish I could do strong side IWB. My hips and love handles make it uncomfortable. I prefer aiwb for edc/concealed or owb strong side for edc/concealed(occasionally) but strictly owb strong side for duty belt/battle belt.
I'm currently deciding between the spara and the mora. A video comparing the benefits / concealability of the two would be helpful for those of us who are new to owb concealed. I'm not sure which would be the best choice for me.
That one really just comes down to level of retention. Most people would opt for the SPARA unless they absolutely need the level 2 retention of the MORA holster. Otherwise they are identical.
Better to carry in the same position all the time. Prevents the training scar of reaching for a gun at appendix that you are carrying strong side and vice versa because you keep switching positions.
I was appendix until recently. Chest/stomach hairs pulling on draws, even when the holster was pushed off to the side just got old after awhile and i’m too lazy to shave lmao
This time of year if I'm going to ware a jacket i will carry on the hip but i still like carrying appendix the best really but it all depends on what i have to do that day really.
I need a winter carry holster...Another Tier 1 holster , lol . I need my head examined , I have 7 of them already and I dont work there. Wish i did though
I’ve trained both positions, totally prefer appendix carry for my edc concealed self defense set up. Hands down! Strong side for range day (Battle belt) set up is most favorable.
Yea for speed it's Good. However. What about situational instances. People get the drop on you in front. Gun at your head and facing you. You cannot pull appendix. Say they want your wallet. You have a better chance strong side drawing and catching them by surprise regardless how quick your appendix draw is
@@chancetolbert4852 if someone has the drop on me with a firearm, it doesn’t matter where my gun is, you’re going to lose that battle! If someone has the drop on me, has a gun pointed at me and asks for my wallet, they’re getting my fucking wallet. The best part of force on force trainings are dealing with situations exactly like this.
@@StrollaLawDefense I've seen countless situations where pulling from the drop saved people's lives. It's not ideal. But there are plenty of situations where it's necessary.
@@chancetolbert4852 I agree. However, if the perfect moment isn’t chosen or just one small mistake is made, it’s your life vs your wallet (Per the given scenario). I’ll choose wallet 9/10 times.
@@Tier1Concealed a video breakdown from the tier1 team on how to get A faster and more consistent draw would be cool! I know most of it is reps but maybe it could provide perspective for guys who are struggling to move up to that level.
I know this vid is just about speed, but I really feel that Apendix drills wasn't that fair, you had both hands pretty on the front and I think one in the need isn't always like that. For sure it's a more natural position, but if you're walking or avoiding danger you would have both hands to a side. Also, if you need to take cover fast, the first thing you want is a car, behind the front part, probably, and crouching wouldn't be that comfortable.
Appendix will be fastest, for me I only do 4 o’clock when I wear suits. Open carry strong side is pretty fast too. Concealed strong side or 4 o’clock is a little slower. I do agree on the shirt size. One size up so that it is slightly looser conceals better. The Tier One Concealed shirts actually fit perfectly for concealing.
If never owned a designated appendix carry holster, but everytime ive put it there thenslide just digs in my stomach. And barrel in crotch. If i didnt have to ait ever or drive id do it
That was reallly good, it look liked he had the walther pdp that trigger outtta the box has a very short reset, you can really get some fast double taps, Great Jobbbbb 💯❤️🥳
That PDP is a game-changer! My favorite striker-fired pistol under $1000. I have a 508T on top with Floyds Custom magwell and mag extensions. Fits my hand extremely well, having 3XL hands.
I received my msp pro series about a week ago. Awesome great quality holster! Any tips on how I can get to a consistent subsecond other than dry fire and using a shot timer? Tia.
Just takes a lot of reps and practice. I’d recommend filming yourself in dryfire as well as live fire. You can learn a lot just by watching yourself and eliminating unnecessary movements.
Another simple but so helpful vid. Like the other commenters, how about some conversation about pant size with the various carry types. Larger, stretchy, lower waisted, etc.
I will say this guy's, by no means am I an expert but if carrying appendix in a vehicle you should never put your seatbelt between your holster and body. Adjust your pants and holster and leave the belt outside of your gear. It seems counter intuitive, what Sawyer said is what I thought for years, I don't want my gun and holster inside my gut... But the way the belts and our hips are designed you will do yourself even worse by moving the belt between your holster and body. Don't take my word for it, do your own research. Cheers
Is the xiphos holster able to work appendix and strong side? I have one and have used it in both positions. Seems to work well but I am one of this “larger guys”.
Rather than drawing a gun quickly it is more effective to just stab the assailant with the pencil... WAIT!!! We need Tier 1 concealed TACTICAL POCKET PROTECTORS! lmao. Great video guys and nice shooting as always!
Man, it's frightening watching you guys jam striker fired pistols back into your holsters, full force, pointed right at vital organs. Floppy t-shirts and all. This coming from someone who carries appendix with a striker fired pistol. Slow and methodical will save Frank & Beans, and your femoral artery.
I am a Surgical technologists and I have seen 3 different men blow off there hotdogs while appendix carrying. Kind scary. I have also seen 4 different people put rounds into their legs and hit important arteries. I won't do appendix carry due to this!! Can yall do a tuckable inside the waist band strong side video? That would be super cool
Absolutely! We already make a few! Check out the T1-Echo holster which is a dedicated strong side holster or the XIPHOS V2 or T1-M which can also be carried strong side. They’re all tuckable.
@@radjamss6390 no it is gone!! There is no sewing it back on. They gat a Supra public catheter for the rest of their lives. There are prosthetics but sex is over!!
A breakdown in slower speeds your movements to clear garments. It’s fun watching how fast you are but not so helpful when trying to really see what you are doing.
Empty chamber is stupid. The attacker won’t wait for you to chamber a round. There’s easily found examples of where this has gotten people hurt or killed. It only gives the enemy more time to have the drop on you. You’re not at war until you are, and as a defender, you don’t have the luxury of deciding when the war starts.
I would like to see you sit down at a table for dinner with an appendix holster. I tried last week. It dug into my legs bad. Previous holster dug into my gut bad. I can't keep buying holsters hoping something works.
@@Clarkshooter Likewise for over 15yrs and I carry a full size gun. Larger guns are more comfortable then smaller guns which can dig in or pinch, but both are easily.doable
How tight do you wear your belt and do you do any adjustments prior to sitting? I usually wear my belt to where my holster is just snug and I pull up on my belt line just before sitting down. Shouldn’t dig into your gut unless you have your belt on too tight. Carrying a 5” M&P 2.0 w/ X300U and I’m 5’4” 175 lbs.
I do it all day every day. It has become normal for me, I feel strange without my appendix rig. I only take off my Axis Elite to shower and sleep (and to go to Disneyland).
Sitting down with it at 4 digs into my hip something fierce no matter how much adjusting I do. Appendix requires me to move it a bit but way more comfortable. Granted it’s not a fair comparison because my appendix carry gun is smaller and lighter
We’ve gone over this. NEVER put your seat belt between your stomach and your pistol/holster. Place the seat belt over your lap/in front/over of your holster. It’s a shame that these dudes don’t know this.
Let me preface with i carry AIWB and Strong side depending on my clothing. Why would the reload be faster when you can carry your secondary mag in the front just like appendix when you carry strong side? That comment made zero sense. Who carries their mag anywhere but the front? Even if you carry strong side, your mag is in the front. Yes, the Draw can be faster, but what 0.03 seconds faster? Negligible and irrelevant unless you are running something like the fast drill. Even then, strong side doesn't prevent you from passing. Only down side with AIWB if you have a ND it will probably hit an artery and you are in serious trouble. Strong side, with my EDC, that is not a concern since the barrel is never in line with my body. Strong side, holstered, if my EDC goes off, not a big deal. AIWB...you are screwed, especially if sitting. will it happen, probably not. but you are throwing out a ton of what-ifs.
A lot of people do carry a spare mag on their hip or just behind it, some people carry it appendix, depends on the individual. And we've all seen pictures of strong side carry guns going off and hitting their hip, butt, or leg.
Don't waste your money with this company. First holster was a dud, that they did fix. Second holster lasted less than a year. Told me under warranty buuuut, they aren't set up to replace it. Now they don't respond to emails. T Rex Arms holsters for the win!!
Hey man! I’m sorry to hear all of that, that’s definitely not like us. Could you send us a DM on instagram or email me directly aaron@tier1concealed.com I want to see what the deal is. Our warranty is lifetime and we want to get you taken care of.
if you want to be a hypocrite who preaches on the 4 cardinal rules of gun safety but carry appendix, go ahead. but if you want to be like vincent the real deal, well done.
Thank you for showing what training can do. Not long ago people thought a sub second draw from strong side was a unicorn.
Very impressive, guys.

Does the mora conceal less effectively due to the retention band/hood? Or is added size negligible?
Potentially, yes. That hood makes it slightly thicker at the top where the slide is

@@Tier1Concealed I noticed. He's fast. His draws are amazing.
@@bulabroha keep crying. I got buckets for more eye lubricants.
Woo hoo you got a love the M&P.
Grappling needs to be talked about
+1 appendix 👍 +1 strong side when at range
I love the drill/training videos. Would like to see yall run some drills comparing glock43x sized guns to the glock 19 sized ones.
YEAH SON I WILL NEVER CARRY A GUN POINTED AT MY HOTDOG - GOD BLESS
Tier 1 make great holster👍👍
thank you!!
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
3oclock for me, especially on events where there is a lot of people present, massad style, empty chamber. We are not at war, carry accordantly.
Empty chamber is stupid. The attacker won’t wait for you to chamber a round. There’s easily found examples of where this has gotten people hurt or killed. It only gives the enemy more time to have the drop on you.
You’re not at war until you are, and as a defender, you don’t have the luxury of deciding when the war starts.
That gun is useless with an empty chamber
I would like to see you sit down at a table for dinner with an appendix holster. I tried last week. It dug into my legs bad. Previous holster dug into my gut bad. I can't keep buying holsters hoping something works.
I do it at every meal. Carry it 10-15 hours a day
@@Clarkshooter Likewise for over 15yrs and I carry a full size gun. Larger guns are more comfortable then smaller guns which can dig in or pinch, but both are easily.doable
How tight do you wear your belt and do you do any adjustments prior to sitting? I usually wear my belt to where my holster is just snug and I pull up on my belt line just before sitting down. Shouldn’t dig into your gut unless you have your belt on too tight. Carrying a 5” M&P 2.0 w/ X300U and I’m 5’4” 175 lbs.
Pants with a stretchy waistband are so helpful. Plenty are out there. And a KORE adjustable belt or equal.
I do it all day every day. It has become normal for me, I feel strange without my appendix rig. I only take off my Axis Elite to shower and sleep (and to go to Disneyland).
You find driving more comfortable carrying appendix than 4 o’clock? I definitely don’t.
Yes
Sitting down with it at 4 digs into my hip something fierce no matter how much adjusting I do. Appendix requires me to move it a bit but way more comfortable. Granted it’s not a fair comparison because my appendix carry gun is smaller and lighter
We’ve gone over this. NEVER put your seat belt between your stomach and your pistol/holster. Place the seat belt over your lap/in front/over of your holster.
It’s a shame that these dudes don’t know this.
we've all heard bad stories from both ways...
@@Tier1Concealed I get this from Phlster th-cam.com/video/8V5Qg-v0cIY/w-d-xo.html
I just cannot seem to get quicker no matter how much dry practice I get
Let me preface with i carry AIWB and Strong side depending on my clothing. Why would the reload be faster when you can carry your secondary mag in the front just like appendix when you carry strong side? That comment made zero sense. Who carries their mag anywhere but the front? Even if you carry strong side, your mag is in the front. Yes, the Draw can be faster, but what 0.03 seconds faster? Negligible and irrelevant unless you are running something like the fast drill. Even then, strong side doesn't prevent you from passing. Only down side with AIWB if you have a ND it will probably hit an artery and you are in serious trouble. Strong side, with my EDC, that is not a concern since the barrel is never in line with my body. Strong side, holstered, if my EDC goes off, not a big deal. AIWB...you are screwed, especially if sitting.
will it happen, probably not. but you are throwing out a ton of what-ifs.
A lot of people do carry a spare mag on their hip or just behind it, some people carry it appendix, depends on the individual. And we've all seen pictures of strong side carry guns going off and hitting their hip, butt, or leg.
Don't waste your money with this company. First holster was a dud, that they did fix. Second holster lasted less than a year. Told me under warranty buuuut, they aren't set up to replace it. Now they don't respond to emails. T Rex Arms holsters for the win!!
Hey man! I’m sorry to hear all of that, that’s definitely not like us. Could you send us a DM on instagram or email me directly aaron@tier1concealed.com I want to see what the deal is. Our warranty is lifetime and we want to get you taken care of.
As a fat guy, my muffin top pushes out the grip of my hand gun. And my M&P9 will catch on my shirt and hold it up.
Stop making videos and make my holster I’m ready for it to get here 😂
We're on it!
I tell you what…you boys are qwickern Tom Johnson’s cat…
A "belly-shelf"? We call it a "tactical shelf" lol
Shoot after 2 surgeries mines a full arsenal shelf. 😂
if you want to be a hypocrite who preaches on the 4 cardinal rules of gun safety but carry appendix, go ahead. but if you want to be like vincent the real deal, well done.
Appendix carry is stupid . The draw strike makes it look like you are exposing yourself.
now do this from a car where you have to defend yourself.
we plan on making a video on that topic!
