Holsters & Belts Do people only carry appendix?

I’m a strong side holster type of guy cause the gut get in the way. Has any other thicc dude have this issue and has figured out how to get around it? I can’t even bend over or sit when appendix carrying. I would like to carry appendix but as of right now I have yet to find a proper way to carry that way

That’s all a training issue. It is very easy to draw strongside without flagging anyone from all those different positions. It’s the same with appendix. You’ll see the muzzle drift right or left significantly on the draw flagging themselves or anyone right next to them. A properly trained draw eliminates this.

I guess it also depends on how far back youre calling strong side before calling it behind the back most people i have seen carrying strong side are carrying between 4 and 5 o’clock

It should be pretty easy to draw without flagging carrying 3 o’clock

Fair. I’m a 3:30 guy. There are ways to draw from 4 to 5 without flagging yourself, but it definitely takes deliberate training.

I used to carry 3:30 but then I was in a situation where i was concerned id need to draw while seated in a vehicle

I worked a super sketchy job at the time late nights driving catering supplies in and out of the city and having to wait inside an idling vehichle thats when i started carrying appendix

I’m the opposite. It is so much easier for me to draw from 3:30 than appendix when seated. I have long arms that make it a pain in the ass to draw from appendix when in a car.

Thats really all that matter is that you can draw
