Appendix Carry (AIWB)
Carrying a holstered handgun inside the waistband at the front of the body, near the appendix (around the 1 o'clock position).
Appendix inside-the-waistband carry positions the gun in front of the hip, roughly at the 1 o'clock spot for a right-handed shooter. It offers excellent concealment, fast access, and strong weapon retention, which is why it's hugely popular among trained concealed carriers. It works well for many body types with the right holster and belt.
Because the muzzle points toward the body during carry and especially during holstering, appendix carry demands strict discipline: a rigid holster that fully covers the trigger, deliberate slow holstering, and keeping the finger and clothing clear. Done correctly it's safe and effective; done carelessly the consequences are severe.
