How many of you appendix carry the shield?

[leadtag]

What is the most comfortable appendix carry holster that you're aware of or have tried? Thanks for any help

When I had my Ruger SR9c, I used the Shaggy by Custom Carry Concepts. Great holster. After getting my M&P 40c, I put in an order for the George by JM Custom Kydex. Still waiting on that one.

I have appendix carried a revolver a handful of times however I'm not comfortable carrying a striker fired gun that way. I want an external hammer I can keep my thumb on reholstering just in case. Rarely carry that way anyways

If I knew for sure where my appendix was, I could probably answer that. Ooops, I forgot, I don't own a Shield. . .too much plastic.

The appendix is somewhere near the table of contents. I think.

I had my appendix removed in the 7th grade. What would carrying at 1 o'clock be called for me?

Green force. Unless you prefer leather.

I did a few times. I used a Desantis pocket-tuk still have the holster which I really like but I did not like adjusting the pistol and my junk every time I went to sit and stand up.

I've been AIWB carrying in my Galco sto and go until I get a dedicated AIWB holster, gun on safe, easily swept off when drawn.
I wear my Galco ankle holster at same time, best Ankle holster ever, have had it for 7 years. So when I go to sit down, it goes in my ankle holster, I stand 90% of the day so not a issue,
I just love the quicker access of Appendix carry, and is extremely concealable .

I use a Galco king tuck at 4. Mainly because that is where I carried a full size 1911 45 for (too) many years.

I don't carry appendix style, but I have read on various forums that appendix holsters by phlster holsters are pretty good.

I can't carry that way as my belly would make drawing tough. Besides I would want my carry gun pointing at my junk all day. Remember never point it at any think you don't want to destroy.

Remora Holster - also doubles for pocket carry

I carry cross-draw at 10:30 - 11:00 position. Kinda opposite-side appendix. Easier for me to get the gun out. Carrying comfort is the same as normal appendix carry. Just quicker drawing.

I carry appendix in one of my own creations
For me appendix is the fastest way to draw my pistol when concealment is required.

I carry my Shield in a "Sticky" holster in the appendix position...

I've been carrying appendix or cross draw for over 30 years now. We used to call it vasectomy carry

Current favourites are:
-JM Custom standard AIWB, don't care for his George version.
-Clinger Stingray, inexpensive, very good, long build wait.
-G-Code Incog Eclipse with standard mojo, excellent adjustable design.
Vedder LightTuck, versatile with excellent adjustment range.
Zorn Skinny Rig, super holster, current favorite.

Adding a foam wedge to any kydex appendix holster will often improve comfort and improve its concealing factor. Easy to do and tailor to individual preference.

I AIWB my Shield with a FOXX or N82 Tactical. Both are excellent. For bigger guns, something like the Keepers Concealment is super comfortable, but I haven't found the need for it with the Shield.

I carry my 9 Shield in the appendix carry where my appendix is located. I would like an optional carry on my right hip but since I have an CTC GREEN Laserguard sight, I can only locate a BladeTech IWB holster which I use. I'm more comfortable with hammer guns, e.g. DAO or revolvers but I have to compromise. I also have a Remora holster, aka "sticky" which fits pocket or IWB. I guess our physiques dictate our carry.
