This video demonstrates a DIY method to enhance the safety of appendix carry for a SIG Sauer P320 by reinforcing a holster with a Level II ballistic fiber koozie secured by duct tape. The creator aims to mitigate the risk of accidental discharge into the wearer's body, particularly the groin area, by adding a layer of ballistic protection. While presented as a potential solution, the creator emphasizes this is an experimental modification and not a professionally endorsed safety measure, advising caution and disclaiming liability.

Quick Summary

A DIY method to enhance P320 appendix carry safety involves reinforcing a holster with a Level II ballistic fiber koozie secured by duct tape. This aims to prevent accidental discharges from penetrating the wearer's body, though it's an experimental modification with potential impacts on draw speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I make my P320 appendix carry holster safer?

A DIY method involves reinforcing your holster with a Level II ballistic fiber koozie, secured by duct tape. This adds a layer of protection against accidental discharges, particularly in the groin area, though it's an experimental modification.

What materials are needed for a DIY reinforced appendix carry holster?

You'll need your existing appendix carry holster, a koozie made from Level II ballistic fibers (like those from Premier Body Armor), and strong duct tape to secure the koozie to the holster.

Is reinforcing a holster with ballistic fiber safe for appendix carry?

The video presents this as an experimental safety enhancement for appendix carry, not a professional endorsement. The creator disclaims liability and advises caution, noting potential impacts on draw speed and retention.

What is the purpose of using Level II ballistic fibers in a holster modification?

Level II ballistic fibers are used to create a protective layer theoretically capable of stopping a 9mm projectile. This modification aims to prevent accidental discharges from penetrating the wearer's body during appendix carry.
