How to Appendix Carry Comfortably

A saying that I heard and repeat, "Carrying is comforting, not always comfortable."

This is the first video I’ve ever seen of someone covering the bathroom portion of Carrying with an appendix rig. Very helpful

All these small things that you haven't really thought about but extremely important that could make concealing heck of a lot better and comfortable! Thanks, you guys are awesome!

Just got my CCW today. I’m trying to get used to wearing a block of metal on my waist. This video is very helpful. Exactly what I needed.

I'm in a wheelchair, and now at 891 consecutive days carrying my axis slim comfortably. So far only holster I have found to be comfortable enough for me.

I always carry at my 5 o clock on the right side of my rear. Its best there as you will have the most maneuverability.

I’m 6’0” and 220lbs. I got a “spare tire” around the middle but I can still carry appendix pretty easily. When going to the urinal, I tuck it under my armpit as demonstrated in the video, and upon checking the mirror behind me I discovered it’s pretty hard for someone back there to notice it. Stay strapped

Great video! Two years old and as relevant as if you made it yesterday. Very much appreciated.

One thing I love about the Kore Essentials belts, when I am in my car I can easy release the lever, loosen the belt just a bit and be a little more comfortable. Then when I get out slide it back tight.

Great video, love the holsters (I have 3). Regarding picking things up while carrying: what people fail to realize is that proper body mechanics require you to use your hips instead of your back so the way you showed how you pick something up (squat) applies regardless of whether you're carrying or not. Carrying appendix just makes you more aware you what you should already be doing.

Let’s stop being polite. Most people don’t carry because they’re carrying a gut.

Yo! I lost it at the Deuce Bigalow scene! “Im a large human” That’s a huge bitch! 😂

Thank you so much for everything in this video! Especially about using the restroom lol. I’ve been carrying for a few years but only recently switched to appendix. I never carried appendix before because of all the discomfort I ran into throughout the day compared to pocket carrying a smaller gun or just carrying OWB in general but this definitely helped me realize that it’s really not that bad once you get used to it if you put a little effort into trying to be comfortable.

Great tips! I love these types of videos. I will also say that the foam wedges are definitely a game changer. They make concealment easier and much more comfortable. That aside, the holster quality is by far the best out there and the customer service of Tier 1 is outstanding!! They prioritize treating their customers with respect and honesty which is incredibly refreshing especially in today’s climate where it seems customer service is a dying art.

I’m so glad you chose to show us this in an RS. It’s comforting to see this work in recaros and know that it can be done comfortably

I enjoyed the demonstrations and techniques of this video. As a Police Firearms Instructor, I would like to add when going number (2), we teach police to place their firearm in the crutch of their pants when using a duty holster. I think this concept would also be applicable for concealed holsters by placing the whole rig in the crutch of the pants. This is very consequential because there have been quite a few instances that officers left their weapons in the bathroom. I do teach Draw from Concealment to civilians, and like and will use the techniques demonstrated in the vehicle. Thank you.

Good tips! I have carried appendix for about 2 years now and it works great. You end up just figuring it out after a few days and it's no big deal. I work on cars and I am crawling under vehicles and wedging into awkward spots under a dash or over a fender all day and I have no problems at all. I would just reccomend a good carry belt without any metal clips and stuff so you don't scratch or scuff a vehicles paint or anything. I have a seperate holster for firearm and extra mag holder but I place them in the exact position you guys showed. I like it because when I'm at a urinal I take gun out and place entire holstered gun in my right pocket and the extra mag carrier in the left pocket. Sure its not perfect and sticks out a bit, but it's not falling and its a bit easier for me with that setup. Have a good one.

Step number one, if you are anything like me, is to get your nutrition, resistance training and cardio on point! I am forty pounds down and thirty more pounds to go! I already feel the difference with appendix carry. If I am taking the steps needs for personal protection, pellets down range and home/vehicle defense. Why not make body change(s) a high priority too, right? Stay frosty, Y'all...

I carry AIWB and use a HAWG kydex holster with the ulti-clip option. Very slim and well made holster. No problem going to the bathroom, sitting, or bending over/kneeling. Find what’s comfortable and serves your purpose. Great video guys!

This was surprisingly comprehensive. Great job!
