I see a lot of bigger guys struggle with appendix carry pistol placement when trying to accomplish comfort and concealment. I’ve made this abstract, generalized model to help explain what’s going on, and how to solve it.
How do you sit, bend, squat, and go through a full range of motion while carrying your gun in the appendix position (on the front of the body, usually between about 10 and 2:00)? How do you prevent the gun from poking you? How can it possibly be comfortable to strap a gun to your […]
*If you’re carrying a longer-muzzled gun or a revolver, adding extra holster length may not be necessary for you, but for short semiautomatic guns, it’s often helpful.
Guns with short muzzles can be top-heavy and difficult to conceal comfortably. To solve this, some holsters have extra length added to the muzzle end. Like the keel on a boat, the extra muzzle length helps balance the holster, making it more comfortable and easier to conceal. This is especially true if you have a bit of a belly, which tends to push the grip out more and make the muzzle dig in.
Note that while extra muzzle length reduces grip printing, it can increase muzzle printing, which can be a concern with lower carry positions and tight fitting pants such as leggings or yoga pants.
