PPQ – Appendix Carry Holsters – AIWB
Posting pictures or videos of shooters drawing or carrying appendix IWB (Inside the Waistband) always results in some funny comments. Whether you’re on the side of “You’ll shoot yourself in the crotch (insert other words…)” or, the “it’s faster” crowd, you can’t ignore its increased popularity over recent years.
The PPQ series falls into the category of a high-performance pistol that you could start to carry AIWB. This position allows you to hide a larger framed gun with ease, resulting in more ammo! Here are some options to look into if you’re curious about AIWB.
With proper training, AIWB can be an incredibly effective method of carrying.
T-REX Arms Sidecar < click it
The Sidecar is a dedicated appendix holster that features a built-in mag carrier. Carrying an extra magazine in the appendix position can help balance the weight of the firearm and distribute the bulge that sometimes occurs carrying appendix. But the most important benefit is having that extra magazine at your disposal. Something we believe is a prudent necessity when carrying a firearm. This holster is available for the 5” or 4” model PPQ’s, including optic ready and threaded barrel models in whatever color combination you can think of. $105
Tier 1 Concealed AXIS Slim < click it
Specially designed for appendix carry, this new design stays true to the flexibility of the original AGIS, with a different twist. The AXIS SLIM is fastened together with military-grade shock cord allowing the firearm to flex closer into the body independently of the magazine for better concealment. This connection also allows the holster to flex where needed while performing other acts like getting in and out of vehicles and bending over. This holster is available for PPQ 4” and 5”, with Steamlight, Inforce, and Surefire light options. $129.99

Phlster Floodlight Holster < click it
The Floodlight is a universalized holster, made to accept nearly any service-grade pistol capable of attaching an X300U A / B weapon light, or TLR-1/TLR-1 HL, depending on which option you select.
To accomplish this, many features are smoothed, radiused, and regularized to accommodate the different shapes, sizes, and dimensions of this wide array of firearms.
Like the Spotlight holster, adjustable retention is included, allowing the user to increase or decrease the friction retention on the body of the WML to tune the draw to their preference. Turn the screws attaching the ModWing grip-tucking hardware to dial the retention to your preference.
In order to ensure the best possible fit and retention across the widest variety of pistols, the Floodlight is a two-piece design, like the Skeleton holster, but features adjustable slide contact. By shortening or lengthening the shock cord connected the two halves, users can reduce or eliminate play, rattle, and slop when switching between guns that have different slide dimensions.
The Floodlight, like the Skeleton, is ambidextrous and can be worn AIWB or strong-side IWB, using either soft loops or clips (included). Reduced, lower-profile ergonomic molding improves comfort in a variety of carry positions and provides an ideal attachment point for your choice of aftermarket ergonomic wedge or DIY solution. $119.00
