Most appendix draws don’t fail at the grip. They fail at the shirt.

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.
