Appendix carry, where the firearm is positioned at the front of your body (typically between the 12 o’clock and 2 o’clock position), has sparked debates among concealed carriers.
While some swear by its speed and efficiency, others are concerned about comfort and safety.
To help clarify whether appendix carry is right for you, I spoke with Scott Jedlinski of the Modern Samurai Project, a firearms instructor renowned for his teachings on the subject.

No thanks. The article touches very briefly on comfort, but to me that's one of two reasons I won't carry like that. At 5' 10" and 175 pounds, I don't have much of a belly, but I'm still getting jabbed and poked.
The other reason is printing. I usually wear a loose fitting work shirt or T-shirt. With a work shirt, I can carry on my side and walk into a fucking cop shop without raising an eyebrow, yet with appendix carry I can look straight down and see a protrusion. A T-shirt? Forget about it. It's even worse.
Then there's that dick, balls and femoral artery thing.....
