Please help me get over my appendix carry fear… hoping to graduate after a few weeks carrying without a round chambered. Looking for experience to calm my nerves.
Have read a few articles here on Reddit and watched a ton of videos but still worried about carrying appendix with a round chambered. I know it’s stupid to carry without a round chambered, but breaking the cardinal rule of not pointing a gun at something you’re not willing to shoot, namely your junk and your femoral artery, is hard to get over, especially when seated such as in a car or office. So looking for any recent perspectives or experiences that world alleviate my fear of carrying appendix. For context I’m a very experienced shooter with a few decades under my belt and currently carrying an Sig P365 with manual safety and soon thinking of switching to my HK CC9. For both I have a Tenicor Certum3 full klydex holster. So got the holster side covered. Thanks in advance!
