Quote HistoryQuoted:
Zero cant holster, with wedge to rotate the grip into your body. Position horizontally so it rides in the "void" between the centerline of your abdomen and your hip bone. Experiment with vertical position to see what works for you and your choice of pistol. This is critical to avoid poking yourself with the muzzle end every time you sit down. Prior to sitting down, give a little tug upwards on your belt to position the holster for sitting. I was skeptical, but once I got a holster designed for appendix carry and spent some time getting it adjusted properly for me, I became a believer. I find it far more comfortable than the strong-side IWB method that I had used for a decade or more. All that said, if you carry much of a "spare tire" at all, I don't think it would work well at all. I think a beer gut would ruin the geometry that works for me by pushing the top of the holster away from your body and constantly digging the muzzle into your body. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/84724/20180210_132018-458407.jpg https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/84724/20180210_132025-458400.jpg |

If you have a holster that isn't dogshit, you can live a normal life and do all the normal things you can imagine while carrying AIWB. I carry that way every day of my life...sitting at a desk, sitting in a car for 12 hours, doing yard work...hell, I've even done a full brake job on a jeep while carrying AIWB. It's not hard, it just takes the right holster. About the only thing it complicates is getting a quick blowie in the laundry room. If either of you gets too vigorous the fair lady can smack her nose on your pistol. |

This practice prevents a mistake from becoming an injury. Or an unseen equipment issue from becoming an injury. The SCD gives the same margin for error that a double action pistol or other hammer-fired pistol has. And does so with zero impact on the reliability of the weapon. even though i can't carry, That's why people who *DO* actually carry guns and who train with them want an extra layer of protection in case everything else goes wrong. my point is that you don't need to add an extra safety device to a glock to make it safe for carry. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I freely admit my ignorance here. I can and do carry daily, primarily AIWB and I just about never reholster a loaded firearm. I take the holster, with gun in it, off at night and put the whole thing back on the next morning. If I do have to take the gun out of the holster, I take the holster off my belt, the reholster the gun, then put the whole thing back on. Am I just being overly paranoid? Why are people reholstering so much? Serious question, I respect your posts and knowledge. If i am working a drill from the draw, i might draw and shoot 50 or more times in an hour or two. Something like the F.A.S.T. drill, for instance. |

It's really not rocket science.
Solid holster with the clips so you can take it on and off with the pistol in it Don't mod the guns trigger/strikers and such in any way that could compromise safety features. If you are reholstering loaded firearm (drills at the range) there is a stance with one leg back, lean back a little, and you can reholster without actually pointing the gun at your nuts. Guns like the PPS the striker sticks out the back of the slide and you can press your thumb down on it and even if the trigger catches something you can catch it without discharging the firearm. Learn how to draw a firearm without putting your booger hook on the trigger until you have cleared the holster and have the gun pointed away from your body. Getting your finger on the trigger at the earliest possible millisecond is not the key to a good draw. |

You would think(I would at least) that anytime the muzzle of your handgun is pointing at your dick you would use double dare extreme type caution.
However,since I consider carrying any handgun in any sort of IWB manner absolutely uncomfortable I won't be worrying about shooting off my dick or ass. |
