Appendix Carry Jogging WIth A J-Frame Revolver: Dangerous?

Without getting into a debate regarding the fine details of hand-to-hand combat tactics in relation to holster carry method, my belief is that if one is unlucky enough to get into a position where he has to fight for his life, a lot of the outcome will be dependent on chance, and the best preparation for such a situation is through frequent training and consistency of basic actions, no matter which method one chooses to carry.

Regarding AIWB carry with a striker-fired gun, or any gun with a light trigger, I wouldn't want to do any type of re-holstering training with live ammunition.

Even when I used to carry my G23 IWB behind my right hip, I once almost got a piece of the bottom of my overshirt with a button into the trigger guard when I was holstering while dressing in the morning. It scared me enough to make me only mount my holster with the gun in it forever after!

I agree. The problem is very few people actually train correctly or ever pressure test their ability or tactics in FoF and the difference between a highly skilled, properly trained individual compared to someone who isn't is truly night and day. Picture, as an analogy, an untrained, average joe getting into the ring with a professional MMA fighter...there would be relatively little doubt regarding the outcome. Chance and luck can minimized a great deal with effective preparation and training.
