No, I would not agree that this is any better or worse than the picture you posted of Bruce. The tiny difference is insignificant. Both are in front of the appendix and both cover the leg with the muzzle. But I am curious, why do you think one is worse than the other?

This is an impossibility. Any holster made to be carried on the belt can be carried in the appendix position. They may be wrong for that position, but can be carried there.


I agree, appendix carry is dangerous and no one should carry there. I wouldn't even carry there in competition. I will state this to anyone who wants to talk about it. It is a risk that is undertaken by the carrier.

Also, I agree with Muss, where appendix carry is hazardous to the carrier, horizontal shoulder holsters are equally dangerous to the public at large. How can you endorse one while vilifying the other? In fact, I would say that horizontal shoulder carry is the more egregious offense. Appendix carry shows disregard for self while horizontal shoulder carry shows disregard for others.
