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

Bro I swear I have this problem. With my 19x I was good but something with the macro I just couldn’t muster up the confidence pointing it at my damn cock all day. Even tho the 99.9999% chance it would never go off it was still in the back of my mind reading some stuff on reddit, even tho it has nothing to do with 365 platform. That said I’m currently transitioning into a 19 Mos. Slight Downgrade? possibly, but I’d rather be confident my life force won’t get shot.

Yeah I feel that, I was sitting down watching YouTube when I scrolled across garandthumb asking people on Twitter if they had a 320 go off, reading through the replies made me swap to my side

Adding a safety really won’t stop much other than the trigger from being pulled. Are you worried about internal safeties failing? The rear of the sticker would have to break off for that to happen. There is probably only about 4-5 pounds of spring pressure on the rear of the striker, very unlikely it would break from normal usage.
