Remora holsters would be a good choice. Pretty dang comfortable.

I really like the VanGaurd by Raven. They have a bunch of different styles for Glock.

I dont personally carry the system, but a good friend runs the Raven Concealment mentioned above. I borrowed his rig a few times to check it out and it works fine. I personally didnt like so much of the gun exposed and wondered how much debris could get in there, either real or perceived.
You didnt ask, but I will say if you are not going to carry the handgun with a round chambered at the appendix position, then carry in another position. Without beating the dead horse, you wont have time to chamber a round, blah blah blah, you know the deal. |

Looking at appendix carrying my G17. What are the good to go brands for a minimalist holster? The ones that just cover the trigger guard and attached by 550 cord entice me a lot.

I started carrying a G27 appendix about a year ago. I use a minimalist holster made by a company called Phlster. It has a little more to it than just a trigger guard cover but is very comfortable. I also bought a heavy leather belt made by crossbreed which made a huge difference in comfort. The switch to appendix took a little getting used to but I couldn't have it any other way now. It may take trying a couple different setups to see what you like.

For minimalist, hard to beat the Vanguard from raven concealment. You can't reholster though without taking it off, but it is what it is. I have 3 of them but don't really use them much.

just my thoughts.
do not go down this road. if you had seen what I have seen in my career at 4 major hospitals with 2 being area trauma centers.. Glocks and Appendix Carry are not good matches. just tossing this out there. I'm sure 50 guys are going to jump in and tell me how they have no problem.. so be it. |

Or using holsters at all. I would imagine that taking a stance on anything based on the results of those Hospitalized for involved injuries might skew one against anything. The world can be downright dangerous and I doubt that too many individuals come into the ER to illustrate otherwise. |

My 2 favorite appendix holsters for the Glock platform are the Phlster Skeleton and the Raven Vanguard 2. That being said the skeleton gets carried 95% of the time. I use the Raven only with a G 26 while wearing a light T-shirt. It places the gun lower in my waistline. And I know it sounds stupid but the easiest way to effectively carry appendix is to keep your stomach flat. Even a few pounds makes a difference.

I have carried a G19 in a Raven Concealment Eidolon and I have enjoyed it. This in conjunction with my 1.75" Wilderness Systems belt or Elite Survival Systems belt has served me well. It conceals very well under a form fitting t-shirt and is comfortable enough for all day carry. On a side note the wedge & claw work extremely well at tucking the grip nice and tight up against your body. That is the part that has printed on me in the past with my INCOG. The Eidolon, in my experience, conceals the weapon much better in the appendix area than the aforementioned INCOG.
Good luck, Target07 |

Two things:
1) a minimalist style holster may not be the most comfortable or concealable. 2) if you're not comfortable carrying a Glock with a round chambered appendix (and that is understandable), why not choose something with a manual safety or a hammer so you can be faster to your first shot? Don't limit yourself to thinking G17/AIWB is the only way to fly. To answer your question, you can simply order some kydex on amazon for a few bucks, and attach some paracord to it if you want a cheap way to try it out. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Mexican carry is not Appendix carry.
I got one of those $10 kydex things that covers the trigger guard. Works good and still has that avant-garde mexican carry feel. |

OP...have you tried appendix carry with a full size service pistol? In my experience, unless you're removing it every time you sit down (i.e...before going to a restaurant, getting into a car...), this method of carry is the least comfortable of all the options.

I don't really see how a DA/SA gun would help in this situation. The only way those people are shooting themselves while drawing is if they are putting their finger in the trigger guard during the draw, and then most likely "clamping down" out of instinct. If that's the case you are just talking about a little bit more travel, and maybe a little more force required on a DA gun, but it's going to happen either way. For a SA gun with a "safety", most people disengage the safety while drawing, so again, if they are putting their finger in the trigger guard and "clamping" it's going to go bang. |

LEO's, gun nuts and hood rats. the GSW has almost always occurred on removing the firearm from the holster. really no different from the Serpa issues of Glock Leg I have worked on. people get complacent or in a hurry. things happen like this with a cocked striker without a traditional safety. the safest holster in the world only works when the gun in stationary in the holster, all bets are off on the draw and upon holstering. when LEO's stopped using thumbstrapped holsters on Glocks, most Glock Leg injuries went away, then came the Serpa and it came back. now a lot of people are carrying Appendix and we are beginning to see a blow out every now and then. I specially carry a SW 99 compact due to the fact I do carry appendix a lot in a High Noon Hideaway. a DA/SA does not pose the same problem. I am an avid proponent of appendix carry with a good holster, just not with a Glock. when I carry a Glock its in a traditional OWB or IWB holster. you are far likely to hit a femoral artery with a ND or AD from appendix than any other, well besides blowing a nut off. just tossing my experiences out there and my experience in being involved in GSW patients is now running over 2K in 25 years in the medical field. How many draws where an nd didn't occur did you witness? How many of those were appendix vs traditional carry? Of the 50% of nds that were with or without a holster, how many would have been avoided if any other gun, carry method, or holster were used? Of those served by your hospital, what percent of those carrying pistols had nd's? How many had any business carrying a gun at all? An inability to keep your booger hook off the trigger isnt something you can ignore regardless of your carry method. When you work in the the repair center, you tend to only see the broken toys. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
if you had seen what I have seen in my career at 4 major hospitals with 2 being area trauma centers.. Glocks and Appendix Carry are not good matches. Go on. Lecture us. Obviously these patients of yours were coherent enough on arrival or survived.. since you were able to ask them what type of gun they were carrying. |
