    I apologize, I did not read this entire thread, but I assume by appendix carry, it means IWB, at about 2 o'clock. I have been carrying this way for over a year now. Formerly, I carried IWB, SOB, which really was horrible in retrospect. I will say as a disclaimer, that the amount of time I carry is somewhat limited, as I cannot carry to work, so it is only when I leave the house for non-work purposes, otherwise the carry gun rides in the car with me.

    Anyways, I am tall, but certainly not slim, and my GLOCK 23 easily dissappears under any untucked shirt that is not too tight, or too short. I actually have found that my beer belly helps hide it a bit .

    Was a little uncomfortable at first, but no more so than any other new form of carry. Now that I am used to it, no worries at all about sitting, bending over, reaching, driving, etc. The only think I don't like is when driving, the seat belt makes it hard to reach the weapon.

    For a holster, I currently am using a simple Bianchi belt clip leather setup like this:

    Keep trying slightly different positions. A small move can be a big difference in this carry method. Give each try a couple hours at least.

    Rich,

    I got the solid Kydex loop. I'll keep trying and I'll see if I can get some pictures up by this weekend.

    Just for the record, I in no way think there's an issue with the holster. It's probably a body shape issue and a lack of experience issue with this type of carry.

    Dojpros mentioned that AIWB works best if you have a higher chest to waist ratio. My torso is relatively straight these days (getting older, desk job, etc. ). My waist and my chest have evened out!

    I was trying the Shaggy with a two-ply leather gun belt. I also have a Liger belt, and although I WANT to like it, I find that it's too thin to properly fill the belt loops on most OWB holsters, allowing holster movement (really bad on dropped-offset holsters).

    I wondered if it was just me being paranoid about printing, but my wife who normally can't tell when I'm carrying IWB said it was VERY obvious that I had something under my shirt.

    thanks for all the tips guys. I won't give up yet!

    Just got a new AIWB rig in, it is the #4 IWB from Desbiens Gun Leather for the HK USP 45c, http://www.desbiensgunleather.com/index.html It is plain black, made with the rough out side facing out so it would be a bit more tacky for staying in place. It has a single belt loop with a one-way snap.
    Took a few pics and compared it to the CCC Shaggy for Glock 19/23. So far, it's not a bad holster, well made and priced lower than the majority of custom leather holsters. Two things that stick out- the single belt loop seems to allow the gun/holster to shift a little either direction when seated and moving around throughout the day, second-the muzzle end is cut right at the muzzle end of the gun with no overlap or over mold to slightly cove the muzzle and cushion your leg when seated. If you have a Shaggy or other custom leather holster like Milt Sparks, you'll know what I'm talking about, that extra leather that goes over the muzzle and partially covers it, helps add a little more protection from the sharp edged muzzle of the weapon. I'm gonna keeping experimenting with it and ring it out at the range. When my Invictus arrives, we'll see how all three compare.

    Gotta say that when it comes to appendix carry, or any IWB carry for that matter, the ability to VERY quickly and easily attach the holster to your gun belt and to remove it from your gun belt as quickly and easily is a major factor for me. I do not like sewn-in belt loops for this reason... for me, the clip-type attachment, so I can clip the holster on (with the gun inside it) very quickly, and remove it just as quickly and easily, is the best. For this reason, I really appreciate this type of set-up, as I can remove it or add it in little more than a moment...

    Need advice

    Seems like getting Shaggy to Poland, while possible, is not easy (but probably sooner or later I'll get one anyway). So I decided to do some testing to know if AIWB is OK for me. For last years I almost exclusivelly use MTAC holster on 8o'clock position (I'm lefty) to carry my HK P2000 SK (and sometimes P30). I also lost some 50lbs this year and gun start to print when carried on "side".

    Lat week I reconfigured MTAC clips to give almost no cant and started to carry my P2000SK on 11o'clock. Seems comfortable (unless I try to tie my shoelaces), and for sure it's concealable. I also made some range training to get ahold of new position.

    From what I understand in this thread C-TAC 2:00 is a no-go, but I looked over new AIWb MTAC (neutral cant). I like that it's tuckable). Can anyone advice me on this holster? Getting something from US to Poland leaves all kind of "statisfaction guarantees" void (shippinng, duty and tax costs) so I need to choose right.

    Also there is question of configuration - should I get AIWB MTAC with P30 body and use it for bouth P2000SK and P30 (worked good in my MTAC, but now I use P2000SK body) or get it with 2 bodies (changing them is pain!)?

    Question for others Shaggy or even Looper users. Have any of you used the standard clip? I need something that will allow me to tuck my shirt in (on the odd occasion I wear my shirt that way) will the standard clip allow for a tucked shirt w/out the clip being so obvious? I don't want another holster so respectfully please hold those kind of responses. Thanks guys

    No, The standard clip is not tuckable on the Shaggy. I'd be willing to try to make a tuckable attachment for the Shaggy, but I am not sure that it would support the rig properly.

    Is anyone using the Shaggy to carry a s&w m&p compact? The consensus with the baby glocks seems to be to order the holster for a g19 sized gun to prevent the butt of the gun from flipping out. Is this true of the m&pc as well? Would it be better to order the full size version of the Shaggy? I was thinking that the smaller amount of material on the compact size holster would be more comfortable, but if it is going to flop around, then comfort is a moot point.
