What are the pros and cons of appendix carry?

Appendix carry offers excellent concealment, preventing printing even with light clothing, and allows constant control over the firearm. However, a significant con is the psychological hurdle of pointing the muzzle near sensitive areas like the femoral artery and genitals.
