One thing he didn't mention is that with AIWB you always have a visual on the status of the gun. When I carry 4 o'clock I have to physically check with my hand to make sure its still concealed correctly or is printing. If my shirt is riding up or whatever. When in appendix, I always know what's going on, and I am the only one who can get to it.

@@randalthor6872 I carry AIWB, my gun isn't "pointed at my balls", the barrel points just outside the balls, when I sit, the end of the barrel points between the scrotum and inner thigh. I've got some pretty serious low back issues and appendix carry is the most comfortable method I've found. I carry an IWI Masada Tactical (4.6" barrel, 17+1 capacity) and I find AIWB to be very comfortable. Just use a quality holster and never get in a hurry to holster the weapon, always check to make sure the holster is clear, watch the gun go in and make sure no loose straps or clothing went in with it. Once properly holstered, the gun is as safe as it can be, if it's pointed at your balls it makes no difference, it won't go off on its own out of the blue. The 'accidents' (negligent discharges) occur during holstering or drawing. Do those two things properly and AIWB is just as safe as any other carry method. Of course, no matter which way you decide to carry, you should still strive to always do those two things properly and safely. Try several carry methods, see which you find best for concealment, comfort and access. AIWB is my preferred method and most people I know who tried it stuck with it.

Was a 3-4 o’clock carrier for a couple decades, but with some of the newer technology, switched over to appendix carry about 3 years ago and haven’t looked back since, mainly for the retention. As a guy, the place I notice the greatest improvement in feeling secure is when standing at a urinal - both hands in front are still guarding my firearm, whereas side-carry always left me feeling much more vulnerable since both hands were in front of me.

There's at least one secondary advantage to AIWB, in my opinion. Because it's intrinsically uncomfortable to wear AIWB while sitting, I've found that my seated posture is best when carrying appendix. I don't slouch forward; I keep my lower back and lower abs slightly engaged; I sit further forward in my seat and have better foot placement on the ground.. It makes a small but noticeable difference over the course of a day. Thanks for the video. Always nice to see Mas give us some of that 50-year wisdom most of us can only hope to have someday.

That's exactly why I appendix carry a da/sa. I have a few options, all sigs for carry. My p224 is more of a summer gun because I can wear just a tshirt, and then in months I can wear a jacket, thicker long sleeve shirts, hoodies, etc I choose between a p239 and a p229 depending on where I'm going. I don't think I would ever carry a p365 or other striker fired guns in that location.

I am glad Mas mentioned muzzle blast as a hazard. Most don't mention it and even if, during an AIWB unintended discharge, the bullet misses vital bits, the MB is still going to wreak havoc and still many penetrate through to vital arteries. FTR, I use AIWB upon occasion and even put together my own AIWB rig when I could not find what I wanted ready-made.

If it helps anyone hesitant to carry- When I started carrying appendix, I carried it empty (completely unloaded) but racked for about a month or so. If there were any kinks in my protocol, wardrobe, sitting posture, seat belt interference, restroom situation , etc. I'd find out w no consequence & gain some confidence & peace of mind. After a while of everyday scenarios & finding that the trigger had not dropped, I started carrying loaded but "dry racked". A month or so of that I had sufficient confidence to go ahead & carry Condition 1 with no real increase in anxiety or concern, though I still use the same care, attention, & strict diligence that I did on Day 1. Hope that's useful. Be safe.
@scottirons8635

I'm a huge proponent of this carry for speed and comfort. I prefer to use a hammer fired pistol and/or a 1911 or 2011 so that I know when I'm reholstering (slowly if at all) that I know where the action is. With my H&K P30sk I keep my thumb on the closed hammer and with my Stacatto C2 I make sure the slide safety is engaged and I use a weak grip so that the grip safety is NOT engaged when I put it back in the holster. Thanks Mas for your years of knowledge. I can't wait to take one of your classes in person.

To the excellent recommendations Mr. Ayoob made, I would add that it’s worth considering the pistol one carries, as well.

These obviously require another level of training compared to a striker fired pistol, but the additional peace of mind is, for me, absolutely worth it.

I'm glad to see this Video Mas, thank you for posting it. I remember reading you in the Magazines in my Teens. I have been Appendix carrying since 1982, within a month or so of graduation from the Police Academy. I carried that way off duty and I carried my Back up there while working in Uniform, and then in plain clothes and as a Detective. Only during Twice yearly Qualifying did I wear it on the Strong side belt because the job or at least the Fire Arms and Tactics section required it. I start with My Model 10, then with the Model 36. Once off Probation I carried my 459 there and eventually my 1006, which I carry that way til this day. I find it very comfortable and easy to access. I shoot well and can indeed draw quickly with it in that position. Then again after 41 years I should be able too.

The late 60s is not a good time of life to start retraining things that have become instinctive.

Meh. I AIWB carry a Glock 19. Between the firing pin safety, trigger safety, and drop safety, I feel pretty comfortable with it pointed at my junk. The striker isn’t pre cocked, either. No way it’s going off on its own. I trust that way more than a manual safety that can be switched off or is prone to mechanical failure.

I find that I'm only comfortable with Aiwb when using a revolver. Both from a safety and a comfort position. A longer gun or one less curved just doesn't work for me. Interesting to think that back when a lot of guys justshoved a gun into the waistband. Pants were worn four or five Inches higher. Doing that I could probably caryy a full size 1911 comfortably.

Very well balanced and informative video. You made a great point about getting your belt up higher. The few times I've tried appendix carry I felt okay while standing, but couldn't get comfortable when seated. The gun barrel always seemed to poking me somewhere no matter what adjustments I made with the holster's position or angle.

Question for the team: Do you or anyone you know carry full-size pistols in AIWB carry? I have only seen compacts or subcompacts. Plus, I don't think I've ever seen a revolver (though I imagine a Ruger LCR or the like would be practical)? I just *love* Massad Ayoob's advice and the way he expresses himself! I also think very highly of this gentleman! Thank you again for having him, Wilson Combat. I will be frank; Ayoob, and not your fine pistols, is the #1 reason I have Subscribed to your channel. Your firearms are worth thousands of dollars, but Ayoob? He is genuinely priceless. =)

I carry a 1911 in aiwb, 2 spare mags on the left hip. I'm a stout person so it doesn't print with a good polo shirt and like Mas says, the belt has to be a little higher. It took some getting used to but I wouldn't change it now. I have considered getting a compact little 9mm for when I'm working hard, but haven't felt the need to do so.

Thanks for the video! I've been wanting to hear Massad discuss this in detail for a while now. I carried IWB at 5:00 since I was 23 (Comp-Tac CTAC, and my original holster is still in excellent condition) and I'm now 40. But after I began to train Brazilian jiu jitsu I realized that AIWB is very complimentary to BJJ techniques. It still makes me slightly uncomfortable when I am sitting down and feeling the barrel pushing into my inner leg. I also haven't figured out a way to AIWB with a tucked-in shirt without printing. I was able to do that with IWB 5:00 without issues.

Excellent topic! For myself; however, and because of surgeries, it is highly uncomfortable to have anything pressing against my lower abdomen. In some cases, it is even uncomfortable to have anything on my belt that would drag it down. I started wearing Perry suspenders to prevent that from happening. My normal carry these days is either in a shoulder rig or offside cross-draw carry, which while not ideal, is better than not carrying at all. Aside from that, the cant of the cross-draw holster is very comfortable when sitting and positions the muzzle of my firearm on the hipbone and not at my femoral artery. I suffer from poor blood circulation, and restricting a major right to left femoral bypass does not appeal to me, which appendix carry could do.

Thanks for the insights and pro/con of wearing appendix carry holster. The safe holstering of a gun is often left out when others discuss the topic. I would add that the belt with your chosen appendix holster should be considered. Not all belts are the same with all holsters.

After 2 back surgeries several years ago, carrying strong side became uncomfortable as it aggravated the hip pain I was operated on to remedy. After repeated suggestions (!) from my wife to find another way to carry I decided to try appendix.I read about it and watched several videos. I found it surprisingly comfortable, even with a full sized pistol. Sitting, driving, walking around, has been no problem. I usually carry a Springfield Hellcat Pro with a Holosun RDS. It wors for me.

There are quite a few resources out there with various methods for one-handed appendix draw. I’ve found (giving all a fair and lengthy trial) that fir me personally, I do much better with a circular or elliptical type thumb motion to clear my cover garment. Gotta put in the practice though, but it can be done pretty effectively, though obviously not as quick as two handed. And there are also various two handed methods as well that are worth the practice to get proficient at. Last, I absolutely couldn’t agree more with your hips forward, firearm grip against the belly, muzzle angled outward, reholstering technique! In some situations, I’ll even remove the holster to reholster the firearm (being careful to not muzzle my support hand either). Definitely the scariest part of appendix carry! 😳
