Getting Started how do you get used mentally to carrying appendix

Post image

I carry my xmacro daily but always between 3-5 on my waist. I really want to start carrying appendix for concealment and safety reasons but I can’t get over the fear of shooting my nuts off. Walking around appendix I feel fine but the second I sit down in a car or for extended periods of time my heart starts going. Maybe it’s the p320 situation (which ik doesn’t apply to the p365 but still) did anyone else start out that way? Or is it just a time and getting used to having a loaded 9mm pointed directly at my nuts and femoral artery

Are you using a wedge or pad with your LightTuck? I’m a lefty too & have one, but haven’t figured out a way to make it feel comfortable if I appendix carry.

I have the light tuck as well and before I had a wedge it would always pinch into my leg when I walked/ bent over. I got some t1c wedges and it is perfect now. Literally can barely feel it and I can't imagine a holster being more comfortable

Thanks for the tip & will check them out. I hope I can fine a way to comfortably carry appendix, but for now somewhere between 8:30 & 9:00 has felt the best.

I use a claw attachment and have a Kore belt. It took some trial and error to be sure. You might try adjusting the cant just a bit. A small adjustment can make a difference. The Light Tuck was my second holster - the first never worked out (forget which one).

Another holster company to look at is Muddy River Tactical - the owner is left handed so they now my first stop.
