appendix holster

My archangel is on the way!

Congrats. Keep us posted.

I added a clip to my cry havok gear holster. Didn't really like the strut/softloop that much. This clip is much better and the gun can be worn anywhere around the body very easily. Just as comfortable at 4oclock as it is at 1. Cry havok makes great stuff.

Does anyone use one of the cheap cloth uncle mikes holsters for this carry position?

I have used a cheapo Uncle Mikes for appendix carrying my 5" 1911A1. The soft suedish material is VERY comfortable. I'm 5'6'' 130lbs and concealment is not that hard.

I don't need a holster to carry my appendix, I have a (more-or-less) humanoid body for that.

People do. I certainly wouldn't recommend it. I wouldn't use those holsters with any gun but for sure not in this position and/or with a striker fired gun.

This. Spend some money on a quality holster.

Here's my Archangel in OD green. I tried it on last night. Once I found my sweet spot (about the 1 o'clock position) it was very comfy. It conceals pretty well with just a tshirt on as well. I'm very happy with the purchase. Thanks for the advice.

Does any one know of a retailer that carries the Bravo Concealment DOS, Haley Strategic INCOG, and/or Raven Concealment ACR? I would really like to get my hands on these before making a purchase.

I don't think you could find them in a store.

Out of the 3, I recommend Raven Concealment. It's the better out of the 3.

But, I will say the Archangel is much better than the Raven ACR.

Just started carrying this way and I'm convinced it's just for skinny guys. My dunlop doesn't seem to like it when I sit.

What holster and belt are you using?

The biggest motivating factor in switching from my current appendix carry holster to something new is finding a holster that holds / presses the bottom third of the grip in more tightly against my body. I am open to any suggestions on making this happen. I would darn near be printless (if that is even a word haha) if this part of the grip did not stick out. That being said, I really want to continue carrying my G19 rather than moving to a G26.

To me, the Raven ACR looks like it may be constructed with this goal in mind. Thoughts?

Why do you favor the Archangel over the ACR?

The ACR isn't as comfortable as the Archangel. At least for me anyway.

With the Archangel, I can easily conceal my Glock 19, and in the summer the tshirts I wear fit between snug and loose.

Does it hold the full length of the grip close to the body? Or does the bottom third or so of the grip stick out?

Here's an AIWB I made recently for a 19, half sweat guard, but didn't take any pictures with it on prior to sending it out. As far as appendix goes, I think the more simple the better. Angling the front loop helps to pull the butt of the gun in and allows you to better space around belt loops.

What would it cost to have one of these made? Where are you located?

Contact Henry Holsters here on this forum. He builds his with a bump at the bottom specifically for this purpose. I was a huge archangel fanboy, and still think it's a great holster, but I prefer my Henry holsters now. The best AIWB setup I've found. I also have ACRs, and don't like them much. Don't like the struts, and don't like the way they try to keep the gun from moving the way I think it needs to for AIWB.

I've been called a lot of things, but skinny has never been one of them. Wear pants that fit and a decent gun belt and you won't have any issues. If you're wearing your pants under your gut and pretending that is your waist, AIWB likely won't work for you.

$45, I'm in new albany. Henry holsters makes some awesome rigs as well. He's one of the best in the business.

Got a picture of the Henry holster?
