Warrior Poets,

Stupid question from me. Now that that’s out of the way…
When you appendix conceal carry does your holster sit/rest in front of your pubic bone (yes way down there) or does the end of it sit/rest somewhere on your body above that? And I do mean the skeletal bone, not the other bone.
I’ve searched for info on this and can’t find any. I guess to an extent it may depend on barrel length and how high/low one wears their belt/pants on their body.

Thanks for the help!

This isn't a stupid question, it's an important one and it's not a simple thing.

It all depends on your body type, what kind of gun you carry and the level of concealment you are trying to maintain. For sure barrel length and belt height also matter but I feel if barrel length is the problem then maybe that's not a good gun to carry. If belt height is the problem, the 90s called and they want their horrible fashion trends back.

I like to have enough grip above the belt to achieve a complete master grip, but not so much that the gun wants to tip away from my body. Running a slight cant makes this easier. With anything G19 or smaller this works for me and I don't have pubic bone interference. This works great for a semi-permissive environment such as where you have a permit or it's a state that has constitutional carry and there are no signs saying no guns allowed.

For deep concealment, short of a true pocket gun like a LCP, the grip has to be buried behind the belt which makes pubic bone interference much more likely.

After reading what J said, I dont have too much more to add, besides agreeing with him. this was not a stupid question.
Also, hello from Gray, TN!

90% of the time I carry a P2000SK, night sights only, AIWB in a hidden hybrid holster. I am right handed, but position the barrel as close to my left leg as possible, while still being able to lift my left leg up without moving my holstered gun. For my body, that provides the best concealment since I generally am wearing a t-shirt and jeans or dickies work pants, unless it’s cold. I typically carry a spare mag in one of my pockets. 1% of the time I don’t carry e.g. if I’m going through a metal detector, at the beach, etc. The other 9% of the time I am wearing workout shorts, and I carry a Kahr P380 In a full Kydex Muddy River Tactical holster attached to a phlster enigma, in the same position. I also carry 2 extra magazines In one or both pockets, depending on the shorts. Gives me 19 rounds. Can’t be seen unless you lift my t-shirt up.
