    If you haven’t shot them off already. :eek:

    Appendix/Inside Waistband is uncomfortable, impractical, as well as antithetical to concealed carry.

    It may be OK for willowy eunuchs I suppose…

    But not me. :nono:

    I carry that way. Very comfortable. Only my weener is small. I’m a pretty big guy. 6’1”, 250.

    Yea, I'm not a fan. When I sit down the gun points straight at it. I can't afford to shoot it and lose anything else. I carry at the right hip, like I do at work. My wife and several friends really like AIWB holsters though, more power to them as it is more concealable.

    In most instances, carrying a gun is less comfortable than not carrying a gun.

    If you are fat AIWB would certainly be more uncomfortable and impractical than other carry methods.

    Antithetical? I’m not sure how you’re coming up with that one.

    That is what I do. I keep my pistol between 1 and 2 o’clock position. For me it is most comfortable and the pistol is easy accessible even while sitting in my jeep seatbelted.

    Throw a foam wedge on the holster and I haven’t found a more comfortable way to carry.

    Also, I avoid playing with the trigger while it’s in my pants. Some folks like to live dangerously, but I’m risk averse.

    I’ve seen colostomy bags more concealable than the laser and light laden cannons these dufuses shove in there. :innocent0

    It is by far the most concealed position for me, and I don't carry a tiny gun. No lights, lasers, or other doodads though. Also the most comfortable and most practical position when I'm mostly up and walking around. Seated for long periods it can get uncomfortable.

    I carry a Glock 19 AIWB and it is comfortable for the most part and it hides well enough right now in sweatshirt weather. I bought a G43x for lighter weather.

    Weird, I seem to be able to carry appendix just fine. It's fast, easily defended, concealable, and accessible in a variety of positions other carry locations aren't.

    Good holster & a wedge take care of any worries. There's a few specifically for bigger guys. I've watched a few guys online show the best way to aiwb if you're not a waif. If I could conceal it better I'd prefer 4oclock but aiwb is best for me medium height and canted closer to 1oclock. Trigger is covered, no worries about an ND.

    Not my cup of tea. I carry IWB at like 4 o'clock
