The stakes are incredibly high, and margin for error is zero. Sort of like skydiving without a parachute. You can do it - once. I cringe when I go to the range and see people try to speed reholster while carrying AIWB.
Proper training and holsters are an absolute must if you choose to carry AIWB. Just my 2 kopeks.
Also, it has a clip as an attachment point--generally unsatisfactory.
Nobody is impressed by what you can't do. -THJ
That is awesome!
As mentioned at the very beginning of this thread, Bruce Nelson's original Summer Special was designed as an appendix iwb holster. The idea has been around a very long time.
Agreed. The number of people who decide to give it a try -- especially with striker fired guns -- because it's hip, cool, or has some perceived benefit they don't really understand is just downright scary. I'm obviously a huge fan of aiwb but really wish people would be more thoughtful about their choice (and their practice).
Tis'. FWIW, Appendix OWB was also the position we were taught to wear our M9's with a duty belt in the USMC. Not sure if Jack Leuba had anything to do with that, as I learned it shortly after he left WTBN at Quantico.
After so many pages, this deserves to be shown again. Skip to :50:
Looks like Miami Vice helped popularize stuff other than European fashion and music-based stanzas.
I'm just impressed Todd is going to give it a go with a 1911 that has nice sharp checkering, G10 grips, and a wonderfully pointy grip safety!
Good show!
As for me, my Colt is behind my hip in a Kirkpatrick IWB Strong Side. I just can't see how this isn't painful with a 1911. I can see how standing it would be perfect. But sitting????
