| Tried it. Hated it. So damn uncomfortable. Do any of you do this on a daily basis? |

I tried carrying my XDs 4.0 at the 3-4 position and just couldn't get comfortable with it. I messed with the cant angles and everything, just wasn't for me. Then on a whim I tried appendix carry and I found it extremely comfortable and it conceals way better than at the 3-4 position on my particular body. I'll say this though- if I get fat... appendix carry will be a no go.
and before anyone says it... no I haven't shot my balls off yet

Yup. It is my primary method of carry. I use a holster with a cli so I can slide it around to 3:00 when I'm driving. Depending on the shirt I'm wearing, I may carry at 3:00, too.
Part of what makes appendix carry uncomfortable for me is my gut. I'm out of shape. Fuck it. I am. Bending over conceals the gun a lot better when it is upfront than when it is behind the hip. I hated carrying at 4:00-5:00 only because of the printing whenever I would lean forward, bend over, rise from a sitting position, etc. |

Entertained the thought once; however the idea of playing Russian Roulette with my nut sack didn't appeal to me. That's the most retarded argument against appendix carry. Keep you fucking finger off the trigger and there is no greater risk of an ND than any other form of carry. |

It makes the most sense. If I have to draw to save my life, I don't want to be fumbling around for a gun behind my back. Shortest distance to the gun because it is right in front of me. |

I carry appendix almost exclusively. Either a G19 or M&P 9C, both in vanguard 'holsters'. It's definitely not for everyone, but works well for me.
I'm 6' and weight varies from 160-170, by body just isn't deep enough (from stomach to back) that I can conceal something well from 3-4 o-clock without it sticking out really bad. Options are to either carry appendix or wear really baggy clothes. If I had a gut though, it would be pretty miserable. |

My bad, didn't mean to get in the way of a serious discussion. |

Does no one have clothes with pockets anymore? Everyone has realized how slow it is to draw from a pocket Hammerless revolvers and get good at point shooting. And don't get too attached to your clothing. One of my police buddies had an instructor that named his matched pair Frick and Frack. Had a jacket with the pockets all shot out. |
