Description

An introduction to the fundamentals of Appendix Inside-the-Waistband (AIWB) Carry Method: What it is, what it isn’t, and how to get the most out of it safely.

This course is about the knowledge and skills specific to the Appendix Inside the Waist Band (AIWB) style of carry. Successfully and safely carrying and shooting from AIWB is not as simple as moving your IWB holster from the side of your body to the front. It’s crucial to understand the history, along with the strengths and weaknesses of this mode of carry. Proper equipment goes a lot way towards success, and you will learn about what makes for effective AIWB equipment.

The shooting portions of class are designed to teach and reinforce effective, efficient, and safe techniques for drawing, shooting and holstering. This is not a class on how to shoot: it’s a class focused on skills specific to AIWB (vs. OWB/IWB, pocket, etc.). You don’t need a high-round-count to acquire these skills since shooting itself isn’t unique to AIWB.

This course qualifies as an elective in the KR Training Defensive Pistol Skills Program.
