I'm back and more lost than ever... AIWB/Jeeps/Springer/45vs9mm

Were you thumping your chest like Tarzan when you typed that.

Settling into the AIWB carry nicely lately and (almost) forgetting it is there. It is easily the most comfortable place for me. The XDs has remained in the safe and will likely be traded or sold. I had an itch for a Covert, but passed on one. Now I have an itch to have an MK9 again. I gave one to my father-in-law for his birthday a while back and miss it. I picked up another M&P9c to keep upstairs with 17rd mags, and the rest of the carry guns are Kahrs. A Kahr is usually what is sitting nicely in the AIWB position.

Fellas, the only safety on a gun is the one that God put between your ears. Use your head for something besides a hat rack. Every mechanical safety can and at some time will fail. If you have a holster that covers the trigger and you are mindful of what you are doing when you holster and withdraw your gun you have nothing to fear about appendix carry. I've carried that way all of my life. Safe gun handling is no accident.

I have a remora holster, so I take the holster out, insert the pistol, then insert the remora + pistol back into position. I either carry appendix, or below my kidney, or 4:00-5:00. That was the only time I really missed having a safety on these guns, when I re-holstered my CW40, into it's DeSantis Sof-Tuck holster, which is pretty difficult to remove, to holster your gun, and put back into place. Which I wear at the 4:00-5:00 position, so it's hard to see what is going on, I usually, insert my finger into the trigger guard BEHIND the trigger, so if it catches on something it can't pull the trigger. That kind of goes against the safe gun handling laws, but it feels safer to me, then just re-holstering the gun. My finger is on the trigger, but behind it so it can't fire.

When I appendix carry I first drop a ice cube in the holster. I figure a ND would totally miss everything. That program became too obvious when I was wearing light colored pants, so went to just keeping my gun in the freezer overnight. It seems to have the same effect.

[Bawanna]

Gun in the freezer overnight is a fine idea. Nemo always retreats from icebergs and female politicians.
Maybe you could post a picture of Feinstein or Pelosi on your dressing table, that should have the same effect too.

So...you named it Nemo?

[Bawanna]

I thought they were all named Nemo. Wasn't that a band. Nemo and the twins? I sense it was a Dietrichism. Probably subconsciously implanted the name in my brain.
