Travis prints only a little bit with his appendix carry, and I admit that he makes a very good case for the superior tactical advantage of appendix over 3:00 carry.
But I also have to say that I cannot get comfortable with appendix carry. My carry is more like 2:00 – 2:30. I just can’t move it around any more and be comfortable.
