Appendix carry guys, what holster?

[rbMPSH12]

I, too, have a Henry Holsters appendix holster or my Shield. I like it a lot and it conceals well. I did have to put some padding on it simply because it rides right where a scar from a surgery I had is. Any AIWB holster would probably bother me in that position and the padding helps. But the design of his holster is very good. The concealment kick that he puts in it helps draw the gun toward the body and conceal better. It also has adjustable retention. Andrew makes great stuff.

Depends on a few things. I have to admit I have never tried the AA, or the Raven ACR even, but I have tired a handful and actually helped AMHENRY test out his Appendix holsters before he released them. I really like them and I also really like the Raven VG2. Right now I am carrying in an appendix rig that AMHENRY built for me that allows me to carry a Glock 22 with surefire x300 and a spare mag at appendix position. I would like to try the Gcode/HSP INCOG, but I am so happy with the one I have now that I can't justify the money just to try something.

I have to vote Raven VG2, INCOG and RDR AIWB a close second. But go with the VG2 and dont look back.

You have one in stock? I'd really like to see it in person.

I've got my personal I'd be happy to let you check out.

I decided to dig out the press and make my own. Having made a few Kydex sheaths, I figured I should at least try before dropping $70+ on what amounts to $5 in materials and some Dremel work.

Here it is:

That doesn't look half bad chezuki.

Kind of a related question for all the appendix people.

So, I've been playing around a bit with a Comp-Tac Two O'Clock holster. Can't say that this position is all that comfortable for my build (whereas 3-5 IWB is great).

My question is, will switching to something like an Archangel, et. al, make that big of a difference?

Holsters are expensive, if running through another 1 or 2 isn't going to tell me something I don't already know.

What say ye?

When I was bigger, the Archangel still worked good.

Although, it seems like the holsters with 1 attachment point works best for bigger guys. The holster with a single attachment likes to move more with your body.

You've seen me, I don't look like a marathon runner, and AIWB in an archangel works great for me. Definitely more comfy than many of the other rigs I've tried. I have several on hand, possibly one for whatever pistol you'd like to try.

In before Kirk comes along and tells you guys that you'll shoot your wieners off.

Nice work BTW.

Thanks!

As far as the other issue, I'd have to lose quite a bit of the gut or be extremely 'happy' for that to be plausible.

I have that one too. I haven't been too impressed with it.

You guy should definitely check out the PHLster ACCESS, extremely high quality and well made holster dedicated for AIWB. The INCOG is always a great option as well.

I've had good luck with Gunners Custom Holsters. You can find him on eBay and Facebook. They are really affordable and have help up great for me
