I know very little about guns, but plan to be trained when I find an affordable place nearby.
All that being said, I’ve never heard of an Appendix Carry.
I’m guessing it’s something over the lower belly, where the appendix organ is located inside.
Do you have a photo of it, or maybe a reference to a pic?

It’s more like the ovary carry, if you’re a female.

Right between the tummy and the front of the pelvis.

If you’re a man, this means the barrel is pointing at a lot of stuff you don’t want to lose, and for both sexes, the femoral artery is dangerously close.

Great for concealment, but it gives me the willies.

You got it.
Carrying near the first belt loop on right or left depending on which hand is dominant.

Unless you want to wear an old west holster one is forced to choose among a couple options in how your belt loops line up with the holster. So if you want to be behind the first belt loop but in front of the next one you are going to end up with an “appendix” carry. Your next option is straddle belt loop #2. That puts you at “side carry”, your next option is further back, “4 o’clock” or whatever. I prefer the last one but when seated in a vehicle your weapon is not accessible.
