    USA AIWB

    Ok I never thought I would be able to carry this way. I've dropped some weight so I though I would try this carry position. Just received my first AIWB holster from thekennedyco (kydex) and believe it or not it's actually a pretty comfortable way to carry. My draw is faster than from the 5 o'clock position. I feel like I'm concealing better and when reaching up it's not showing itself as the 5 o'clock position did for me. Even with my steel core gunbelt I don't have to cinch it up as tight to make sure it doesn't slide my pants down. Guess I'm going to buy a few more to dial in the best one for me.
    And yes sitting down is not as bad as I thought it was going to be. All I do is in a quick motion is just poke a little bit of my shirt behind the back of the slide. Then I really don't know its there. If I wore a shirt underneath then it wouldn't be a problem. I can easily draw from a sitting position.
    The only issue with this one is the rear sight pokes my doughbelly so finding one that goes just a bit higher will be looked at. If I wasn't Mr.Pilsbury then it wouldn't be a issue. Guess I'll have some bladetech and stealthgear IWB holsters to sell.

    Glad I gave it a try and the way I will carry from now on.

    The only thing I don't like about appendix carry is the muzzle pointing at my femoral artery. Aside from that, it is an extremely good concealment location.

    There is that....also why I choose kydex. Nothing is going to hit the trigger. And after I rack it back I know nothing will hit the trigger either.
