What about at bad breath distance? Is appendix or 3:00 carry easier to block or fowl the draw of an adversary?

Or... Maybe a hardened criminal sees the appendix position the same way because that's how criminals carry? Maybe not? Just some thoughts.

It would be way slower for me. Id have to sweep my shirt to pull it up with one hand, take the other hand and lift my gut, then drop the shirt and draw.
The only place appendix should have an advantage is a hands up, feinting compliance start. Otherwise they should be pretty close to dead even from the hands to the sides.

That video kind of gives me that support.
Is it appendix carry that makes Jim Zubiena so fast? Or, is it those sweet, amber aviators?
You might be surprised. The instructor in a class I took this last weekend was 280 lbs. With a hoodie as concealment he was hitting sub 1 second draws to a a/c steel at 10 yards reliably. That was hands starting from the fence.
Not sure how that video gives you support as they plainly state appendix was faster. I will say, that was some very sloppy gunhandling and I am surprised there were no ND's.
The feinting hand pose. To truly test the speed, both should be tested. I know there was suuuuper sloppy handling, but it was one of the better "tests" that I've seen, handling aside.
What about the blowing off of your twig and berries part of the deal?
In a car with a seatbelt on? NO WAY. In a car ankle holster or weapon beside seat.
Weapon beside you on the seat or under your leg in the car is a fairly bad idea, panic braking, hard maneuvering, and that gun may not still be there. I think the Miami FBI shootout had a gun skittering across the floorboard unusable at the time. AIWB makes for an easy draw while seatbelted if you adjust accordingly.In a car with a seatbelt on?
