Why I Switched To Appendix Carry

hey guys this is Jeff from Patriot training center today we're going to talk about why I switch from a three o'clock carry to an appendix carry position so why did I change so there were a couple reasons appendix Carry has become very prevalent in the last several years and it has a lot of advantages both positions have a lot of Pros both positions have some kinds why did I switch well number one when I became an instructor I believe it's extremely important that I understand how to teach all the different skills so I initially set out to learn how to carry the gun in appendix position so that I could teach students to come to class with that position and as I work to learn that position and took classes and got a lot of great advice from people that really knows a lot about a lot of experience with that position I started learning the advantages of carrying the appendix position and so I I decided to ultimately switch to that position why did I do so number one I did so purely out of comfort once I realized how to set my gun up properly to carry in that position I realized that carrying a gun every day for 12 to even 16 18 hours depending on what was going on that that position was much more comfortable and a lot easier on my body that's all well and good but it also has a lot of great advantages when it comes to actually having to use the gun so the drawstroke from the appendix position is it can be a lot faster uh when when you're doing it fundamentally sounding correct so accessing the pistol from the front is is a lot easier for me to get the gun out quickly and get the gun on target so uh the the keys for me was learning how to actually set the holster up correctly so as you see this KSG holster that I've been carrying for a good while now that I'm a big fan of is set up with a mod wing and that mod Wing what it's designed to do is when it hits against your gun belt it'll actually torque this grip into your body and we need that because the grip of the pistols would actually prints most for most of us so that is key to get that rotation back in here but what really made the difference was both cover comfort and concealment was learning how to properly place the wedge under my holster and this is really what made the difference and ultimately allowed me to switch is when I found that this flat angular pad here in this position that I have it in actually made this gun extremely comfortable me in the appendix position so what it does as well is it actually the gun they have a tendency to push out in the appendix position so this muzzle pad actually helps angle the gun back into my body and helps it carry flat onto my body because I'm a bigger guy that's that's very important for me so the mud Wing brings it in the pad actually helps bring it back and keep it flush with my body so once I figured out those tricks and played with it and got that experience behind it I found out that this was a much more comfortable position I can be more effective when I'm training with this gun and I feel more comfortable when I'm out defending myself or my family so yeah ultimately I decided to make that switch and those are the reasons why okay
