I used the appendix carry for many years.

When I was attending college, I offset my tuition by working nights and weekends at a local convenience store. It was in a small town but one that had some social issues.

Although against policy, I carried a handgun anyways. My State Police friend told me that if something were to happen, help was at minimum twenty minutes away.

So I took it upon myself to protect myself.

I carried a Taurus M85 snub-nosed revolver with the Federal FBI load (the 158 grains SWC HP lead gas check at +P levels).

I found the best way to carry with the greatest amount of discreetness was to do the appendix carry. I had a special IW holster held in that location.

Never had a problem and I would practice from that position from time to time. Again, never had a problem because I used thought in my actions.

But I would never carry a Glock or any other handgun with a similar trigger system. A heavy DA revolver action, at least to me, is not a problem. A Glock? Well. Not so much.
