This video by The Yankee Marshal discusses the safety of Small of Back (SOB) carry compared to Appendix carry. It highlights that SOB carry is generally safer than appendix carry because it avoids pointing the firearm at sensitive areas. The primary risk of SOB carry is spinal injury from falls, which can be mitigated by using larger, flatter semi-automatic handguns instead of small revolvers. Proper draw technique is crucial to avoid flagging oneself.
The Yankee Marshal discusses optimal calibers for concealed carry in both revolvers and semi-automatic firearms. For revolvers, he advocates for the .357 Magnum due to its availability, power, and controllability, noting that .38 Special can be used for reduced recoil. For semi-automatics, while acknowledging 10mm as the most potent non-gimmicky option, he ultimately recommends 9mm as the most versatile and practical choice due to its widespread availability in firearms and ammunition, ease of control, and effectiveness with modern defensive rounds.
