@@jcruise876 It's in a holster. If it's a good holster and a good gun it's impossible for it to go off. By the way you're also flagging if you're carrying at 3 or 4 o' clock, or in a shoulder holster, or whatever else you're using to carry.
Actually appendix is safer than carrying on you hip.. If your gun goes off somehow while carrying appendix (if it does it's because u fucked up) you'll only shoot off for dick or the calf or foot.. Carrying at 3:00, the bullet will go through your femoral artery.. #anatomyclass
If you are scared to carry appendix, i think that says more about what firearm you carry. If you can trust your weapon and trust yourself you will be perfectly fine 😂
However there are near 0 leather appendix carry holsters for this very reason. Rigid Kydex defeats any trigger or safety bumps. -unless ofc you carry a jumping jack Sig.
One more point..I do it everytime..Learned many years ago..Make a move, half step back with leg, which is under the holster...So, in your case, right leg...Lefthanders of course left leg..Stay safe
I get it! I dont do that after 10 seconds... but If its been an hour or so... I John Wick check the chamber/move on with my life. Does not hurt to check!
Good tip. Here's one I learned from an old timer. Always carry in your rear. If by any chance you shoot something off, your ass is better than your hog. jaja!
Great critique. Almost doing a slight lean back pushing your hips forward is the best imo. However, I do appreciate the safety info that can benefit other's own safety.
because Firearm Safety 101... never point your muzzle at anything you don't intend to destroy... It doesn't matter if your gun is loaded or not loaded, your finger is or isn't on the trigger... Basic firearm safety, that's why. If you ever ignore that, thinking, well, it's not loaded, or, my finger isn't on the trigger... you open yourself up for a ND, possibly into yourself or someone else.
I am not a fan of appendix carry. The reason I don’t like it is (as a male) you are flagging yourself each time you holster. It’s also not comfortable at all. Just my opinion.
@jasonrich7695 if you carry, you flag yourself no matter how you carry. The 5 rules of firearm safety are guidelines, not holy scripture. If you ever take a gunsmithing class or even just clean your guns regularly, you will break the rules of firearms safety, a lot. Even necessarily with firearms such as glocks or other firearms in which you have to engage the trigger to disassemble. The point of those guidelines is that you have to fuck up multiple of them before you can have an ND or worse, have an injury/death from ND. This video is pointless for even amateur shooters, don't holster until the threat is neutralized or you are done shooting, at that point you should be able to focus on holstering and nothing else. Keep your finger off the bang switch and keep any garments out of the way of the trigger guard. You'll be fine, that's literally it.
Worried about an empty firearm while holstering, but that thigh right there. I think you guys make things way more difficult than need be. Personally if you are that worried about it, don’t carry. My finger is my safety.
Excellent safety video. Responsible gun owners/videos always earn my like. Keep promoting safe handling of tools that can save/take lives. "With great power... "
Dude, you're literally holstering a loaded pistol pointed at your junk... Number one rule of CCW....DONT USE THE MORONIC APPENDIX CARRY,,,,, number 2, don't put extra crap on your CCW pistol.... I.e... a stupid optic....
Do you actually believe what you're saying, or do you just enjoy being a contrarian, even when you're wrong? You believe that with the trigger covered by a hard (kydex) holster, the weapon is likely to discharge on its own? You also believe that a red dot is "crap" on a defensive handgun? I will grant you, at 0 to 15 yards, it likely won't make a difference. At a longer distance, however, it is objectively superior to iron sights when used by someone who has trained to use a red dot. Don't respond by telling me, "That would never happen" or "That isn't legal beyond that distance" because that isn't true, even if people repeat it over and over. AIWB is superior to strong side IWB as it allows for a significantly faster draw, easier to draw from a seated position, easier to defend against a gun grab attempt, and in the opinion of many people (when carried correctly), is more comfortable during EDC, especially with a larger frame handgun such as a Glock 19. The man (I don't recall his name) in the video is correct. The time you're statistically at the most risk of an ND between actively reholstering and after you completed reholstering should be obvious. It's before the weapon locks into the holster. So, not flagging yourself is step 1. Finger off the trigger, eyes on the weapon, make sure nothing gets caught in the trigger-guard, and guide the weapon into the holster until it clicks into place. Assuming you're using a proper holster (one which protects the trigger with kydex and doesn't allow anything to squeeze down into the holster and reach the trigger) and a modern firearm, you aren't in danger of the firearm randomly discharging. If you have objective reasons to believe your firearm may do this, I would recommend never carrying or using that firearm, strong side carry, or otherwise. It's unsafe. Use one of the thousands of modern firearms with built-in safety mechanisms that block the firing pin unless the trigger is fully depressed. If you're just talking nonsense from a standpoint of limited training, education, experience, and real knowledge, simply to either waste people's time (because yours isn't valuable) or because you sit proudly on top of the Dunning Kruger curve, don't bother responding. This was primarily intended to help people who are still new to learning about firearm use, including to help them avoid believing your nonsense. So you're aware, incredulity isn't a real argument or point; nor is just making up rules and saying "Don't do that" because you don't like or understand it. Get more training, learn from reputable instructors, and stop giving people bad advice that will only be a hindrance to them. This isn't a topic where you screw around.
@@bewbew0016You're that guy who says, "If you have to keep your finger off the trigger because you're afraid of squeezing off a round, or you treat every firearm as if it's loaded, even if it's not, then you either need more training, or you have no business being around guns."
You're always flagging your wagger when carrying apendex though
That's why i don't carry appendix.

And then you’re always flagging someone if you live in the second floor.

@@liamflanagan490 every time you draw or holster in appendix you flag yourself.
I pull out the holster, put the weapon in the holster then place it inside my waistband….otherwise not using an inside the WB holster.

Seems like you have to flag yourself towards the end of holstering.
You’re still flagging yourself when you appendix carry.
So what does a holster cover?

@@mwwwww648the trigger mainly.
Amen

Great advice.
I have myself trained to check if the weapon is loaded/chambered every time I pick it up.
Even if I set it down 10 seconds before.
I get it! I dont do that after 10 seconds... but If its been an hour or so... I John Wick check the chamber/move on with my life. Does not hurt to check!

Flagged yourself still lean them hips forward dude
Great critique. Almost doing a slight lean back pushing your hips forward is the best imo. However, I do appreciate the safety info that can benefit other's own safety.
Why is it considered flagging if your finger is not on the trigger? (I get it but I also don’t because guns don’t kill people, people kill people)
Because lots of guns fall and discharge without the trigger being pulled
because Firearm Safety 101... never point your muzzle at anything you don't intend to destroy... It doesn't matter if your gun is loaded or not loaded, your finger is or isn't on the trigger...

It is impossible for a Glock to “fall and discharge”, or discharge at all without the trigger being pulled.
He’s holding a Sig. So yes.
I wear 4 o'clock IWB. I lean slightly forward which sticks my butt out a bit as I reholster. It angles away from my cheek.

Agreed
It’s obviously uncomfortable if you’re very overweight 😭
@@kevinandrade9446 just get a JX tactical fat guy holster. It actually works ngl. Especially while driving
Do u carry iwb on your hip at 3:00?
Look where the barrel is pointed.. The femoral artery

Easy for you skinny guys
Similar movement when sheathing a Japanese-style sword.
I don’t think I’d appendix carry a Sig.
Just don't jump or fall with your P320 appendix.🌭
Dude tells u to stop flagging yourself and ultimately ends up flagging himself, this is exactly why u don't take gun safety guys seriously

Appendix is stupid
Muzzle is pointed at, well you know what, while carrying like that. At the end of your video, you're definitely flagging yourself once in the holster.
Awesome advise
I need to train more. I was just lifting up my garments, i wasn't trying to defeat them. That's a whole nother level.
Correct
Great tip
Great tip that goes overlooked way too often!!!
Nice
Top 🎉
Great tip!
Defeat my garment? Funny as hell
@@sharkman5735 he's a real wanker...I chuckled at that shit too
