Re: Appendix IWB carry--or not?

I am surprised that appendix carry is becoming so popular. As with Justme, I find it very uncomfortable when sitting. I also don't care for the muzzle pointing at a major artery.

There is a tactical disadvantage also and it is very similar to cross-draw. If your adversary is within arms length of you, it's much easier to block an AIWB draw (and a cross-draw), than is the case with strong-side carry at or behind the 3:00 o'clock position. With a normal blade to the threat you should have room to draw and engage from a retention position, what I call a break-away shot.

Again, AIWB is gaining in popularity but I'm at a loss to understand why.
Chas.
