Colion Noir, an expert in concealed carry with years of experience, addresses the debate around appendix carry (AIWB). He acknowledges its performance benefits like superior concealment and faster draws but emphasizes that choosing not to appendix carry is often a deliberate risk assessment, not a sign of being untrained. Noir highlights the inherent mechanical risks of AIWB, particularly concerning the femoral artery, and stresses the importance of a cautious reholstering process. Ultimately, he advocates for personal choice in carry methods based on confidence and risk management, cautioning against dogmatic shaming.

This guide, informed by an experienced practitioner, details why a full-sized 1911 might not be ideal for everyday concealed carry (EDC). It covers assessing the firearm's physical footprint, comparing it to subcompacts, evaluating concealability issues like 'printing,' and considering the practical implications of .45 ACP recoil versus 9mm. The speaker suggests that while not optimal for EDC, the 1911 can still be a viable option for open carry during training or outdoor activities.
