Does anyone carry their m&p compact in an appendix holster? If so what do u use and how do u like it? I just bought a supertuck crossbreed and with my body frame looks horrible. Prints way too much.

Appendix carry isnt for everyone. It can take a while to find the right holster and ypu still might nit find one you like. That said, I've been carrying a shield in an Uncle Mikes iwb to get a better feel for if ill like to carry that way. I know some would say that the uncle mikes isn't an ideal holster. They are correct but thats why I use the saftey. I really dont feel like going through 4-5 different ones to find the right one. I know i want a leather appendix and will likely go with a centerpiece from highnoon holsters.
 
I am not comfortable carrying any autoloader in that position. I have, however, carried J-frame revolvers there - that is, until my "cake furnace" got in the way...
 
I carry the G-Code Incog. Very comfortable for me and conceals well at 1:00 position.
 
I carry my j frame appendix in a Sticky holster and love it! I used to carry IWB at about 4 o'clock, but was getting some lower back pain/strain after carrying for long days. Appendix is much more comfortable!
 
Appendix carry is the only way I carry my Shield. I use an N82 Tactical Pro holster.

Carry my 9c appendix, 11 o'clock, I'm a lefty, in a Blade Tech Klipt appendix holster. Very thin and comfortable, and can be placed behind the hip if so desired. Works great cross-draw also.
 
I carry a 45c, 9c, or Shield appendix. I used to carry 3:30 but got tired of being concern with printing when sitting ore bending over. Now I don't have to worry about printing & I can draw faster.

I just happened to pick up a 9c cheap and don't have any holsters. I carry a variety of weapons but have never heard of the holster you mentioned. That's why I love this forum. I will check it out. Thanks.

You might get along better with something like this. The single loop allows the gun float a bit when moving around and in particular sitting but keeps it where you want it.

I just made this for someone for appendix as well, keeps it a little bit firmer but again, the single point allows the gun to move with the body while staying where you want it. I wear one of these at 4pm, really adaptable and solid little holster.

Personally, I'm not an appendix carry person... I get it may be a tad faster and have worked with it extensively, but it's harder to shield the gun while accessing - it's an either draw or no draw proposition. At 4 or 5pm you can use your body to shield getting ready if you are worried about something.

Of course.. everyone works things different and uses different perspectives so that's just what I prefer - not saying anyone is wrong.

+1 on the Incog by G-Code. I carry my 9c that way, also a Commander size .38 Super. Sawyer Concealment made me an appendix rig for my M&P 9 w/X300/U light and I hope a Glock 41 w/light.
 
Inside the Waist Holster

I have the m&p 45 compact and carry appendix every day. Here is the holster I use. Expensive but very good quality leather and stitching. Very comfortable. Will not need another holster. Check out the link above.
 
I have a Steyr that I carried at 3 o'clock in a SHTF iwb holster. No problems. I now have switched to the 9c and I have an Alien gear holster. It is very tight on the gun, even after I put the large spacers in. I am going to tweak the holster some so I don't struggle to get the gun in the holster. I am having a hard time finding the best carry position with the 9c set up. I am currently using my Remora and the husband says that I carry that in the appendix position. I just know that it's slightly forward of the hip with the gun at a slight angle.
