It's funny how all these sponsored "experts" try harder on selling us merch without even teaching anything, but this normal fellow CCW carrier makes a home video and is able to relate AND teach..... EXCELLENT video brother 👌👍👌👍
Man, I’ve watched countless videos on AIWB because no one could seem to explain how to not make it hurt when sitting down, but your video explains it perfectly and easily. Thank you SO much!
This is the first video I've seen that talks about wearing your pants high so that your gun moves with your upper body when you sit down or bend over. I've tried appendix carry and just have never felt comfortable sitting. I'll try these tips. Great video.
@Yoon Jun Sorry, but you are demonstrably incorrect. Irrespective of the scenario, there is virtually zero reason to reholster quickly. If you're at the range, calm down the Wick shit and be safe and methodical. In addition to safety, you're drilling that muscle memory; slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Second, if you're in a lethal force encounter, you shouldn't be in any hurry to reholster either; scan and assess, then reholster. The only scenario where an individual might holster in a quick fashion is law enforcement or related field, where you need to go hands on quickly. That's it. If there's a threat, your firearm should be pointed at it. If there is no threat, there's no reason whatsoever to not take your time and ensure a safe reholster.
Left-handed and left-ear only sound... Coincidence? I think not. Southpaws are trying to take over guys, watch out. That was a quick draw, thanks for the vid 🤙
That is crazy because i did not notice until you pointed it out or infact read your comment, due to the fact that i usually only wear one side of my headphones and i prefer my left, too always be aware of my suroundings lol
Good job sharing this information and taking the time to show different issues that many of us deal with. As a woman, I feel it pushing up and in. I dropped the ride height until I can just feel the barrel touching my thigh while sitting down. In the 1:00 position it’s very comfortable.
Excellent tips for people who are considering appendix carry but even better you showed and demonstrated the positions of the gun when bending at the waist and or sitting. Truth be told once you're seated and your back is straight and flat against the backrest the gun is in the exact same position as when you are standing during appendix carry. I'm not condoning or condemning appendix carry but just by default carrying a gun on your body is not 💯% comfortable 💯% of the time.
Great job...one more suggestion I have found makes all the difference in the world. Using a track type belt that you can adjust in increments instead of inches. I bought two KORE ESSENTIALS GUN BELTS and have not looked back and will not buy or use any other belt to carry in any fashion. They are absolutely as good as it gets. Being able to adjust your belt when you sit, then quickly tighten your belt when you stand is key.
I have you a like because of the speed of your draw. Watched the whole video waiting to see it again. I always carry appendix, comfortably. I'm working on my draw
Yes, most of comfortable appendix carry comes down to a combination of things. The right gun, right holster and ride/carry height. Also, I always wear a thin under shirt even in tshirt/hot weather. Wear a thin, ribbed "A" shirt aka a "wife beater" shirt. Makes no difference in comfort with temperature, but it prevents rubbing and any pinching if you're using an all kydex holster like I do. If you're doing things right, you should be able to do everything you normally do not carrying. I can bend over to tie my shoes, sit normally, move normally etc. I can also wear pretty fit shirts. Not skin tight, but I don't have to wear a size bigger just because I carry. All benefits of carrying appendix with the right setup. Can't carry a gun on your back or especially your hip and say the same.
For years I have just been frowning and dealing with the pain of my g21 digging in my leg, pelvis and guts lol 😂 seems like no brainer stuff but you just made my life a little less painful and btw you are fast sir
a lot of great advice in this video. i've found from continued practice, trying new holsters and clothing setup that AIWB has ultimately become the most comfortable option for me and allows carrying of a full size pistol.
My EDC is an M&P Shield, even with a small gun like that it is difficult to bend and tie my shoes if need be, this seems like a lot of trade-offs just to be able to carry appendix, I would rather carry 4 o'clock because the probability of you needing to use your firearm is extremely slim, and although 4 o'clock is a second slower than appendix carry, you can still be comfortable during that 99% of the time you are not getting attacked.
Theres also tradeoffs for me when it comes to 4 o clock carry, which is how I started. Having to always be mindful of my gun being visible when I sit, or bend over was an issue for me, always having to keep my hand on my shirt and pulling it down. But i managed to find the magic for appendix carry for me so I'm happy with that! :)
If you can manage to skip over ammo, I would invest in a Texas side car or Tier 1 Agis/Axis holster. I have a tier 1 agis holster and paid $156 after taxes and all. If you get the Agis in stock it's about $130-145 depending on taxes where you live. I know for a fact the Tier 1 alleviates much of the intestinal stabbing problem. Now, that being said: 1. If you have a 300th parallel you do have to ride those pants lower, and go 2 sizes up on your pants. I would also consider placing velcro and a gel soft Sr. Sholls heel or soft padding on the inner portion of the holster. If you use the heel, DON'T AFFIXIATE THE HEEL WITH THE INNER PORTION FACING OUTWARDS! THE sweat will have that part sticking to you like crazy. If you're skinny, disregard, this is mainly towards heavier people 2. If you have your holster cut to a mag extender, but carry the stock mag in its place, unless your skinny, you're getting gut checked. 3. You can separate the mag carrier/holster 4. The claw is VERY AGGRESSIVE and will do a lot of the work for you, by falling into place, and placing the holster within hip region comfortably 5. The adjustment of the ride height is bar none 6. Most people as the author of the video mentioned, or alluded to, forget the bigger thre gun, the more challenge it is to conceal 7. Ultimately, many that have a Texas, Tier 1 or similar face stabbing themselves via sweat guard
Man I am here for the same reason! As soon as I was comfortable enough to forget I was carrying- as soon as I bent over I think the hi-guard of my kydex went right into my belly button xD And holy crap your draw was fast. Oh btw I hope that since this video that you've bought a Kore belt! They are phenomenal, I don't think I'm ever going to buy another brand. The Kore belt allows you to widen your belt IMMEDIATELY and discretely with a little ratchet button. Haha, oops. I commented this before getting to the end of your video.
Way to go my fellow Asian bro! The only other person I found to explain the AIWB process is Spencer Keepers of Keepers Concealment but he only explained a fraction of what you just did. With your idea for Glocks and my idea of using suspenders to support a steel frame 1911 on my channel, it’s awesome 👍
Try the 3 Speed Holster. It was designed by homeland security for appendix carry. It's a professional undercover holster fit to each person's body size.
Thanks for the information. Texas just started constitutional carry and I’m thinking on appendix carry. I have a Rugar lc9s which I think will be good for this option. Overall length is 6 inches which I think will help with the comfort. Also have several Glock’s but think I will start with the lc9s until I get used to carrying never carried before but have been shooting for years and gun safety is number one. I will practice a lot to get use to unholstering and reholstering safely until I’m comfortable with it and before I ever leave the house with it. But thanks for the information.
So happy to hear that you are taking advantage of the opportunity! With a good belt and holster setup, appendix carry is the most livable way to concealed carry in my opinion. (In regards to printing and making sure your gun is always covered). Thanks for the motivation
Now I know your weakness! If I want to take your lunch money I'll just say hey say "carry comfortableness" five times and I'll be long gone before you can draw! Nice video and I enjoyed your sense of humor!
Look while you holster. It doesn't matter how much you train and how comfortable you are with firearms. Just look, it can save your life or in the case of AIWB your future children. Not ripping on you, but I noticed that you only glance down and you slam your firearm into the holster. It only takes a bit of fabric to cause you a serious problem. Good tips though. When I first started appendix carrying the pain I got was on my hip bone or junk leg junction lol. I gad a very comfortable holster for the 4 o-clock but it did not work well for AIWB and I ended up with a nasty bruise.
Thank you for the video i couldn’t figure out the best confortable position to sit down while appendix carry . Now im just carrying between my groin and leg.
I always like running the belt clips evenly. (i dont cant the holster) but before i sit or squat sometimes i like to spread out my leg a little bit so the holster DOES fall into the crease. Still works without canting.
Damn that was a smooth, quick draw. As a fat guy I bought on of the fat guy aiwb holsters and I am new to carrying.. just moved to a constitutional carry state and have a g3c as my carry firearm. Walking around is fine but sitting digs into my gut. Thanks
Dang. I'm built pretty much like you and I feel like the grip obviously prints with my G48. But you're spot on with the sweet spot (with a G26/27) . Great video man. I like your style. Subscribed.
I have always carried between 3 n 4 o'clock then about a year ago I got a hidden hybrid holster and thought I found the one and as awesomely comfortable they are they don't do a good job if you have to bend over. The grip pokes out your backside by like 5 or 6 inches so I ordered a T1 Concealed aiwb axis slim maybe. I don't rember what it's called but the reason I ordered one is because I need to Conceale at work and I have to pick stuff off the ground quite often and keep hearing if it's done right the aiwb is the olny way to go. But I still have doubts. 3 more weeks ish and my holster will arrive and I will see. For $160 shipped it better work or ill b pissed. Iv allready downsized to a p365xl and I don't want to go smaller so fingers crossed and wedge variety pack ordered... Honestly 12 wasn't enough and I olny got it cause I knew they had flush fit +2 mag extention and 14+1 is fine with me but more is better !!!
Aiwb sucks and can be very uncomfortable but you did shed some light on the subject. I prefer aiwb. You have to be able to compromise to what you want. Good video
I don't understand how? I mean, the kydex holsters all look the same to me. If you get a "no sweat guard" holster the gun is still there to jab you. I've been searching for a holster, so if you can explain how Tier 1 is different that would be great.
It's funny how all these sponsored "experts" try harder on selling us merch without even teaching anything, but this normal fellow CCW carrier makes a home video and is able to relate AND teach..... EXCELLENT video brother 👌👍👌👍
He's a hell of a quick draw too!
Man, I’ve watched countless videos on AIWB because no one could seem to explain how to not make it hurt when sitting down, but your video explains it perfectly and easily. Thank you SO much!
I respect the Sriracha on your desk
Im glad someone else caught it! He stole my guns heart with that bottle of gold! Lol
Haha I was just going to say the same but saw your comment.
same yo
Yupp shits fireee
1:21 Damn, wasn't expecting you to draw it that quickly. Caught me off guard so much I flinched a little lol
This is the first video I've seen that talks about wearing your pants high so that your gun moves with your upper body when you sit down or bend over. I've tried appendix carry and just have never felt comfortable sitting. I'll try these tips. Great video.
I've tried appendix in so many ways with so many holsters and I've given up and just stuck with iwb 4:30. Also, that draw was perfect.
Do worry bud I got what you where saying the the whole time you speak just fine , great info
Very good video... well explained. RE-holstering ISN'T a speed drill! Fast out, Slow and controlled in!!!
@Yoon Jun Sorry, but you are demonstrably incorrect. Irrespective of the scenario, there is virtually zero reason to reholster quickly.
If you're at the range, calm down the Wick shit and be safe and methodical. In addition to safety, you're drilling that muscle memory; slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
Second, if you're in a lethal force encounter, you shouldn't be in any hurry to reholster either; scan and assess, then reholster.
The only scenario where an individual might holster in a quick fashion is law enforcement or related field, where you need to go hands on quickly. That's it. If there's a threat, your firearm should be pointed at it. If there is no threat, there's no reason whatsoever to not take your time and ensure a safe reholster.
That's how i became a dad
Out of all the videos I watched your was the best and most informative!! Thank you sir!!
Left-handed and left-ear only sound... Coincidence? I think not. Southpaws are trying to take over guys, watch out. That was a quick draw, thanks for the vid 🤙
Wtf so true
Hogh308 same
That is crazy because i did not notice until you pointed it out or infact read your comment, due to the fact that i usually only wear one side of my headphones and i prefer my left, too always be aware of my suroundings lol
You should be worried.
Good one 😂😂
Best video I have found. I am sitting comfortably with my gun watching this thanks to you and your tips!
Good job sharing this information and taking the time to show different issues that many of us deal with.
As a woman, I feel it pushing up and in. I dropped the ride height until I can just feel the barrel touching my thigh while sitting down. In the 1:00 position it’s very comfortable.
Dude that first draw was gunslinger sick af
The most helpful video I have come across to understand the comfort of concealed carry. Thank you for making and sharing the video.
Man, you have crazy fun energy. Thanks for the info. You haven't posted in over 11 months but I hope you're doing well.
I found this to actually be helpful in the real world. No ridiculous music or special effects. Just good useful information. Thank you for the video.
By far the most informative video I’ve seen about this stuff. This video deserves wayyy more views
"comfortableness/comfortability" = comfort.
Excellent tips for people who are considering appendix carry but even better you showed and demonstrated the positions of the gun when bending at the waist and or sitting. Truth be told once you're seated and your back is straight and flat against the backrest the gun is in the exact same position as when you are standing during appendix carry. I'm not condoning or condemning appendix carry but just by default carrying a gun on your body is not 💯% comfortable 💯% of the time.
100! Yeah man, I work on my car alot and can't deny that sometimes, the gun just hurts!

Check out my newest video 😎😂
You first draw really made me flinch damn that's super fast nice video to watch and really useful Thank you for the tips
Really good tips, the nervous energy was hilarious and kept my interest. Your draw is pretty great.
Nice vid. You had me jump on that first draw lol 😂
No shit, right? Had to rewind twice, pause, and go forward frame by frame...thought it was "movie magic" at first. Skill.
I almost spat my scotch out!
Yup
Asians, man.
Lol on god
You’re video seems more human than most other videos I’ve watched..!
Honestly I find it so much more comfortable to just carry owb at 4o clock. With an unbuttoned flannel you can't see a thing
Totally right. Well said. Stretch pants and wearing jeans higher is a game changer
If you go with a wedge or a claw system you'll draw that grip into your body a little better and help with concealment.
As a fellow skinny guy, and new to AIWB, I found this helpful and will try some of these suggestions to improve the comfort while carrying. Thanks!
Entertaining video my man. Got this figured out already but I got a laugh. Nice draw ✍️ too.
This guy rocks
This video was extremely helpful, especially the part about wearing the pants higher. Thanks!
Thanks for looking out man. Very nice draw and re-holster btw.
Kinda weird but hey its really helpful. You talked about stuff that mostly others don't
Dude, your skills are awesome. 👊🏿❤️👊🏿❤️👊🏿❤️👊🏿❤️👊🏿❤️.
Very helpful! But, you ever try decaf? 😂
Yep
It's overrated
Thank you! I've wanted to appendix carry my Sig p365 for a while. You've CONVINCED me to do it. Great job!

Love the little jabs at people throughout the video - 'hopefully not small of the back' or 'oh i'm just assuming you all carry glocks'
For years I have just been frowning and dealing with the pain of my g21 digging in my leg, pelvis and guts lol 😂 seems like no brainer stuff but you just made my life a little less painful and btw you are fast sir
Comfort is the word you were looking for. Good video and pointers. You are naturally funny, also
you scared me on that draw my man
Thanks man your video help me more than most. The way you explain it to me is so relatable. I subscribe for more crazy shit lol
a lot of great advice in this video. i've found from continued practice, trying new holsters and clothing setup that AIWB has ultimately become the most comfortable option for me and allows carrying of a full size pistol.
Squib308 I’m workin on that. It’s hard to figure out

Move to Placer County Ca. Everyone here has a CCW. 9 of my neighbors have one in the subdivision I’m in.
CCWstraightshooter getting like this in riverside county too
Wish it was like that in San Diego
No thanks. U can keep crazy CA.
I pull my pants up before sitting or bend. Also, you can bend your knees and lean to the side when reaching down.
Just call it "comfort". As in for "the comfort" of appendix carry etc. ...
4:23 - lol. DGen X. That was the politest "suck it" i've ever seen lol.
Now I know your weakness! If I want to take your lunch money I'll just say hey say "carry comfortableness" five times and I'll be long gone before you can draw!

Keep your friends close and your sriracha closer
CLEAN draw man that’s awesome
Thank you for the video i couldn’t figure out the best confortable position to sit down while appendix carry . Now im just carrying between my groin and leg.
Do u Kant the grip like one hook slightly lower ect…. To get it to fall into crease
I always like running the belt clips evenly. (i dont cant the holster) but before i sit or squat sometimes i like to spread out my leg a little bit so the holster DOES fall into the crease. Still works without canting.
Thanks. That was actually pretty helpful.
Dam he fast
Add a claw to your holster and the grip is fixed, too.
Damn that was a smooth, quick draw. As a fat guy I bought on of the fat guy aiwb holsters and I am new to carrying.. just moved to a constitutional carry state and have a g3c as my carry firearm.
Walking around is fine but sitting digs into my gut. Thanks
Finally can get my 19 and reckoning holster comfortable for aiwb and btw that first draw was like fucking lightning. Love it
Dang. I'm built pretty much like you and I feel like the grip obviously prints with my G48. But you're spot on with the sweet spot (with a G26/27) . Great video man. I like your style. Subscribed.
Solid advice man… 🙌
Thank you for this dude
My first video, you gained a sub! Great job
I have always carried between 3 n 4 o'clock then about a year ago I got a hidden hybrid holster and thought I found the one and as awesomely comfortable they are they don't do a good job if you have to bend over.
The grip pokes out your backside by like 5 or 6 inches so I ordered a T1 Concealed aiwb axis slim maybe. I don't rember what it's called but the reason I ordered one is because I need to Conceale at work and I have to pick stuff off the ground quite often and keep hearing if it's done right the aiwb is the olny way to go.
But I still have doubts.
3 more weeks ish and my holster will arrive and I will see.
For $160 shipped it better work or ill b pissed.
Iv allready downsized to a p365xl and I don't want to go smaller so fingers crossed and wedge variety pack ordered...
Honestly 12 wasn't enough and I olny got it cause I knew they had flush fit +2 mag extention and 14+1 is fine with me but more is better !!!
Thanks for the video, great job. You said you were Asian, but I must say you speak perfect English dude and cant believe you were not born here.
Great explanation. I've saved this video to share with others in the future.
I SWEAR MA! ITS A TUTORIAL!
Dude that draw , got you a subscription
Placement helped me out! Thanks man 🙏
Great energy, keep making videos
The tips start at 3:12. You're welcome.
Nobody asked you asswhole
Great vid. Thanks
Comfort bro...the word is comfort 🙈
My G19 is always stabbing me when I sit down, good video man.
Awesome informative video I was wondering do you get any back pain or hip pain from your appendix carry
When I carry my heavier setup, yes I do feel some lower back pain.
exactly what i was looking for
Its nice to see a fellow lefty
He had to turn around after that first draw, make sure he didn't accidentally light his chair on fire with how fast that shit was lol Nice vid man!
I’m skinny but not that skinny. I think that helps a little too. 😂🤣😂
Wearing my pants high is a game-changer, thanks! Now just to find the right pants/shorts so I don't look like Steve Urkel
That was a proper "oh fuck" draw speed. Useful vid bro....
Aiwb sucks and can be very uncomfortable but you did shed some light on the subject. I prefer aiwb. You have to be able to compromise to what you want.
Good video
What kind of holster do you have?
That first draw was pretty fast! Lol. Nice vid sir
Good tips bro, thanks for the vid.
TLDR: the 360th parallel will solve all your AIWB problems. UA-cam it. Its life changing.
Tier1 concealed with wedge pack solved my problems.
I don't understand how? I mean, the kydex holsters all look the same to me. If you get a "no sweat guard" holster the gun is still there to jab you. I've been searching for a holster, so if you can explain how Tier 1 is different that would be great.
@@GreyRock100 use a money belt from Amazon between your skin and the gun.
Cardio, ab work, and not letting yourself weigh as much as Lizzo will help with appendix carry.
this helped so much, thanks man!
Thanks my guy! This answered all the questions and concerns I had!
This made a lot of sense. Thanks :D
