What is the ideal holster position for appendix concealed carry?

Appendix carry holster positioning can vary from 12 o'clock to 1 or 2 o'clock, depending on your body shape, the firearm, and personal preference. Experimentation is key to finding the most comfortable and concealable spot for you.

Why is a rigid belt important for appendix carry?

How can I improve concealment with appendix carry?

To improve concealment, you can adjust the holster's height and cant. Lowering the holster provides deeper concealment but might make the draw slightly more difficult. Finding the right balance is essential for effective EDC.
