Frequently Asked Questions

How can I improve my draw from a small of the back (4-5 o'clock) carry position?

To improve your draw from the small of the back, adjust your IWB holster's clip cant for optimal angle. Crucially, lean your body to straighten your wrist during the draw stroke, enhancing efficiency and safety by preventing muzzle flagging.

What are the safety risks associated with small of the back carry?

The primary safety risk with small of the back carry is 'flagging' or 'lasing' your body with the muzzle during the draw due to an extreme wrist angle. This is mitigated by leaning the body to straighten the wrist.

Which is better, appendix carry or small of the back carry?

Neither is universally 'better.' Appendix carry often allows for a more direct draw, while small of the back carry can offer superior concealment, especially with formal attire. Both require proper technique and safety awareness.
