Finding the right fit and carry system that fits you personally is important. For most people if it ends up being too much, they'll leave their gun at home.

2021-07-12 15:04:14 +0000 UTCI hear that. I still run a 19 from time to time but that slim 365 is just hard to beat.

2021-07-12 14:52:18 +0000 UTCTuckable is a good option. Really helps with deep carry.

2021-07-12 14:51:28 +0000 UTCNice!

2021-07-12 14:41:59 +0000 UTCI have petty much mothballed my 19 and switch to the 365xl. I find a minimalist holster in the appendix position works well for me. Thanks for introducing me to the 365. My xl runs great.

2021-07-10 15:40:56 +0000 UTCWork I wear a suit. For the office days, it’s a G43 with a tuckable holster. It’s concealed and comfortable while sitting most of the day. When I’m in the field, often in bad parts of Minneapolis it’s my G17 or my sig x-carry. Still tuckable holsters are a must. And for days when I’m rolling into the riot areas, it’s my Glock 17 at my 3 o’clock and my .300 pistol with a law tactical folder in my backpack ready to roll. ( fucking car riots and car jacking are no joke downtown ) When driving I have my pistol upholstered under my left leg pointed at the door just in case. Yay Minneapolis!

2021-07-10 00:42:02 +0000 UTCI just bought a Phalanx VE holster because it has the tuckable belt clips. I usually default to an untucked shirt, but my wife and I just started going to a new church, and I get the stink eye from all the old folk because I roll in with untucked shirts. Holster was shipped today, so I’m excited to try it out.

2021-07-09 02:24:18 +0000 UTCIf anything, the chances of a negligent discharge is lowest while carrying appendix (if you have a well-made holster). It's in front of you where you can control it, even with two hands if you need to, you can easily inspect your holster for obstructions, and you can look the gun the whole way into the holster which is all harder to do if the holster is to your side or behind you. The consequences for a ND while carrying appendix are definitely bad, though. But I'd argue they're less likely to happen. But I'm just some guy. Just my thoughts.

2021-07-09 00:12:38 +0000 UTCIs there any danger of an accidental discharge while carrying appendix? Or would the holster prevent this? Thanks!

2021-07-08 14:21:37 +0000 UTCI run mostly appendix IWB. Full size often around 12:30-1:00. Compact 1-2. Subcompact (G43/48, P365) has somewhere between 20-45 degrees of cant with the apex being just inboard of the centerline of my thigh. This is one area I feel is really overlooked. Gun has to fit you and your life just as much as it has to be reliable. And how you carry it will play into if you carry it. Once I took that approach to make it custom for me not thee, I have a gun setup that works no matter where or what I’m doing.

2021-07-07 21:25:51 +0000 UTCAppendix is doable once you get used to it.
Shawn
2021-07-07 21:13:51 +0000 UTCLeg holster is too much for EDC.
Shawn
2021-07-07 21:12:26 +0000 UTCWent to appendix a couple of years ago and still running it.

2021-07-07 19:57:29 +0000 UTCAppendix all the way. Even sitting, sometimes I just adjust it by tipping the grip away from me a tiny bit to get it less "in" my gut and more "on" on gut if that makes sense.

2021-07-07 03:41:30 +0000 UTCI used to wear a leg holster but I would get dirty looks when I wore shorts.
