I've been carrying appendix inside the waistband for some time now with Glock 43 and consider myself fairly proficient with it. I've tried carrying larger pistols the same way and they've just never felt right. I decided to take Spencer's AIWB class and purchase his Keeper Lite holster for a Glock 19.
First of all, Spencer enjoys teaching and it shows in his manner and the way he helps each student. The class begins with an extended briefing on safety and what can go wrong if a shooter doesn't follow the basic rules of safe gun handling. The examples given are sobering to say the least. While some so called experts declare appendix carry to be unsafe, Spencer demonstrates that it is not only safe but the most efficient way to get your pistol into a shooting position whether standing for seated.
Spencer then goes over the different holster types as well as the pros and cons of each. The thought process that went into designing the Keeper holster and all the little things that it includes is ingenious.
After lunch, we went to the range where our instruction began with drawing from concealment and shooting at a 3x5 inch sized target at 7 yards while being timed. A miss counted as an extra second added to your score. This was used to set a baseline but more about that later. Throughout the rest of the day Spencer had us build on our initial skills by adding a different component, demonstrating it himself, than having us doing it several times until we became proficient at it. Some of the skills we learned included trigger control, how to grip the handgun, safe reholstering, engaging multiple targets, reloading with both or only one hand, drawing safely while seated, and several others. Spencer would walk behind and help each shooter with tips on ways to improve. At the end of day we repeated the skills test of drawing and placing 3 shots on a 3x5 inch target at 7 yards while being timed.
I learned that I can comfortably carry a larger handgun concealed and am confident that I can draw it both quickly and safely to get shots on target if needed. I really enjoyed Spencer's teaching method and his real world examples of why he chooses to carry AIWB. If you carry this way, you need to take this class. If you haven't, you should consider it as a better and faster way to carry a handgun.
