I keep going back to it....

My issue with the Nemesis is that it (like all the other padded cloth holsters I've seen) adds to much to the thickness. I ware jeans almost daily and they fit to close to have that bulge go unnoticed. The profile is also pretty obvious.

The Kydex trigger guard pocket holster looks intriguing as is does not add to total thickness.

I don't like empty chamber, but with no form of safety, appendix carry with a clip seems a bit to vulnerable.

I forgot to mention that my prefered summer time carry while I'm not at work is hidden in plane site with a Sneaky Pete. I have an Apple Sticker on it to make it look even more like a cell phone case. Works with the LCP. However, I don't like the larger ones I've seen.

For non-summer time carry outside of work, I carry larger framed autoloaders in a pancake at 4 o'clock.... Usually I ware a fleace vest as a cover garment.
 
I have a clip on my LCP and carry appendix with it on occasion with no issue. My preferred is a Smith J frame with a Desantis Clip Grip in the same place though, just suits me better.
 
I finally caved and picked up a "pocket" auto (Beretta Pico) after trying everything I could to hang onto EDC'ing the Colt CCO. Too active of a lifestyle. Currently using a Nemesis but that Garrison Grip holster look intriguing.
 
That's exactly why I dont carry around the farm with a loaded chamber. I'm too often rolling around in the gravel or squeezing between machinery parts to be worried with accidentally setting one off.
 
I didn't see anybody mention it, but the type of pants you wear has an impact. If you like tight fitting pants, concealed carry becomes more difficult. I found by wearing "relaxed fit" pants it's a lot easier to conceal both pocket and Appendix. For a while I appendix carried a S&W 325 PD (N Frame), although it was a bit tricky getting in and out of the truck without injury.
 
I appendix carry my snubbies. I like it. I don't worry about expatriating the family jewels. But I would not carry a 1911 cocked and locked at the appendix.

If a gun worn vertically at the 2:00 position points at the family jewels, you have a serious medical condition that should be attended to. :)

No, it's more likely pointed at the femoral artery so quit worrying about it. (LOL)

Nah, I carry OWB at 2:00. If the gun were to go off, it would graze the front of my thigh (when standing) or the outside of the top of the thigh (when seated). It would hurt, but nothing vital in the path. It is easier to see what you are doing when re-holstering. It is also simple to put the gun straight down into the holster as opposed to the more traditional 4:00 position where a lot of people (improperly) tilt the butt of the gun outward to funnel the gun into the holster, pointing the muzzle at vital innards at the same time.
 
I carry my BUG P32 in a Pro-Tech pocket holster in back pocket. It stays oriented, and the flat back prints like a wallet, rather than a gun. You forget it's there, so I give it a pat several times a day. My primary is OWB @ 3:30 in a Don Hume JIT Slide.
 
I've recently started carrying a P365 in an Uncle Mikes padded pocket holster in my left rear pocket (yep I’m a lefty) and it looks like a wallet. Some jean pockets are smaller than others so it tends to stick out more in Lee jeans. Most other jeans it sinks down in so it doesn’t show. Also wear an untucked shirt to help conceal.

I’ve never carried appendix so I can’t comment on that. If your comfortable with it then so be it. Like a couple of others, I’d caution carrying with an empty chamber. But, what makes you comfortable is what matters most.
