Appendix rig for M9A1

[GardoneVT]

There's your problem, or at least part of it.

Fair enough. Any recommendations for a holster ?(to join the OPs inquiry)

Note: my day job involves wearing a tie -so are there training complications to using an appendix holster given that minor detail?

That's the whole of it, in my opinion. IWB holsters are not AIWB holsters.

Specifically the M9A1. Research has lead to the Raven Concealment ACR, Which I know is not that favored with this crowd. Any others out there?

I've had an ACR, I hated it. I don't follow who makes M9A1 holsters, but I'd start here:

a Shaggy from Custom Carry Concepts
an AIWB from JM Custom Kydex

And keep an eye out for something from Dark Star Gear, I anxiously await his full size AIWB holster. I have one of his for my J-Frame and it's the best I've found. His CS is second to none and he's not afraid to point you in another direction if he feels you'd be better suited with some other holster.

I'd steer the op away from the ACR also. The lateral profile is huge and it doesn't do a lot to tuck the butt of the pistol which is a requirement, at least for me, to conceal a full sized double stack pistol well.

Dark Star Gear is also working on a tuckable AIWB solution for full sized pistols that shows real promise and jives well with shirt and tie carry.

I can do a G17 or 34 in a JM Custom, can't see a 92 being any more difficult. JRC makes a great tuckable for a full size gun as well.

My dress shirts and slacks are properly fitted in such a way that concealing anything other than a very thin lightweight pistol in a bellyband is not going to happen without looking like I'm wearing a colostomy bag. But I can position the bellybanded pistol in the appendix position, so the draw is similar to a low-riding belt-mounted AIWB holstered pistol.

I tucked in my shirt with a JR Custom AIWB rig for a long time. I had the older version, the new one looks even better. Tuckable holsters tend to work well as far not being noticeable to the casual observer, but in a real NPE type environment you're probably better off with something else.
