Watch: Pros and Cons of Appendix Carry

November 5, 2016 by Scott Witner 1 Comment

How Do You Carry Concealed?

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again; appendix inside the waistband carry is the go-to method for true concealed carry. Yes there are pros and cons to it as you’ll see in this video. I’ve also heard this recommendation from both Kyle Defoor and John ‘Shrek’ McPhee; both experienced Special Operations veterans. Both have also had a hand in designing holsters for concealed carry; more specifically appendix inside the waistband holsters. That should tell you something. I’m not saying it’s the end all be all, but it’s pretty damn close.

Former Army Ranger and YouTube star Mat Best shares his tips, tricks and other awesome things. In this episode, he demonstrates the pros and cons of appendix carry.
