Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common problem with concealed carry draws from an IWB holster?

The most common issue is inconsistency. This often arises because individuals don't consistently place their holster in the same spot, and they grab their shirt from different areas, leading to unpredictable draw strokes.

How should you clear your shirt for an appendix IWB holster draw?

For an appendix draw, use your support hand to grab as much of your garment as possible and pull it upwards. This creates sufficient space for your primary hand to acquire a firm grip on the firearm.

What is the recommended hand placement for drawing from an appendix holster?

When drawing from an appendix holster, position your primary hand's thumb on the back side of the rear sight. This grip helps ensure a clean draw and avoids unnecessary hip movement, facilitating a direct presentation.

Why is it important to train with the attire you typically wear for concealed carry?

The principle 'train the way you fight' applies directly. Practicing your draw with the same clothing you wear daily ensures your technique is adapted to your actual carry conditions, leading to greater consistency and reliability under stress.
