Now that I lost weight I figured I'd give that a try. Well if I'm standing all day I can see it. But I don't get people who tell me its not uncomfortable to have that jabbing into your crotch when sitting. Maybe its not uncomfortable enough for them to stop but for me it was.

Not the most comfortable, but if you have an adjustable cant holster (mine's a Raven Eidolon), I just push the holster down to my right for comfort when I'm in the car, and then shift it back when I get out to favor concealability. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By bigern314: Sure and I've adjusted the holster so its kind of in the nook between my leg and crotch, move it a little this way, that way, etc. Just don't find it comfortable at all, especially as a daily carry. Not painful but not comfortable enough to use as a regular method. Unless I know I'll be standing all day. I can sit comfortably all day (as in, barely know it's there) with a G17. Not every carry position works for everyone. |

Update...
I think carrying my CZ P-01 AIWB is a go. I think I just needed to fiddle with it enough and put that wing thing on the holster. However the P01 is a SA/DA hammer fired gun with a metal frame. Can I move to carrying an striker fired gun there ready to go? I will find out. |

I'm fine with appendix as long as the gun is small enough so I can sit down comfortably and it's a double action trigger. Honestly I found that my S&W 642 works great for appendix carry as the curves work well with my body. But I prefer strong side carry most the time. I can comfortably carry larger autos. Crossdraw isn't bad either.

There’s a lot of good info in this thread.
Slow down, pay attention, and go through a system when you reholster. A DA/SA gun also adds another measure of safety when you place your thumb on the hammer. |

Stupid question.
When carrying a plastic gun is there ANY real danger of the frame flexing and it discharging? I would assume that the slide would hold the good bits but I just want to make sure. Step 2 to being a FT AIWB dude is carrying a striker fired gun there and I'm nervous. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By echo5whiskey: I don't know how common it is, but I do know there are a lot of people who seem to think that your re-holster has to be as fast as your draw. I'd be willing to bet that contributes to NDs/ADs (whatever you choose to call them) when re-holstering. Of course everything is a compromise but I can't think of many good reasons to reholster as fast as I can, vs the increased likelihood of a person shooting themself as the try to jam their gun back into the holster. I was trained, as someone here already suggested, rotate the hips and point the gun forward as it is slowly reholstered. If done properly, the muzzle is never pointed at flesh. It works for me, and I am comfortable with the level of safety. Once back in the holster, it's safe. |
