In 2024, an increasing number of individuals are choosing to carry concealed firearms for personal defense, and appendix carry is becoming a favored method. This technique involves an IWB (inside the waistband) holster that is situated inside your trousers, placed just right of your belly button—at approximately the 1-o’clock position—for those who are right-handed. These are often referred to as “AIWB holsters,” which is an abbreviation for appendix, inside the waistband. Many consider this location optimal, yet the crucial aspect is selecting the most suitable appendix carry holster—or simply AIWB holster—for both you and your handgun.

Appendix carry involves concealing a handgun at the front of the body, near where the appendix is anatomically located, which is why it's named as such. This method is noted for its quick access and convenience in drawing the firearm, but it also presents specific challenges.

• Speed: The appendix carry position allows for swift and straightforward retrieval of your firearm, particularly effective when standing.
• Control: Positioning the firearm in front of your body enhances control, reducing the likelihood of someone else accessing it without your consent.
• Versatility: This method is advantageous in various scenarios, such as being seated in a vehicle.

• Comfort: For individuals with larger body types, activities like sitting, bending, or tying shoelaces can be cumbersome with a firearm carried in the appendix position.
• Safety Concerns: Improper handling during appendix carry could pose a risk, as the firearm’s muzzle points towards vital organs, heightening the danger in accidental discharges.
• Not Ideal for Larger IndividualsNot Ideal for Larger Individuals: Those with larger midsections may find appendix carry uncomfortable or impractical due to increased pressure when seated.
