Just make sure your pants are loose enough, and practice drawing from that low position so you’re ready when it counts.

Lots of people like appendix carry for the quick access and minimal movement it takes to reach the gun. Comfort and retention matter here, make sure your holster checks both boxes.
Chest Holsters
