I think the compact and sub-compact size Glocks and snub-nose revolvers are the perfect candidates for AIWB, but I still have a hard time getting over the fact that with the Glock, you're just 5 lbs away from bleeding out in a short few minutes (femoral artery).
The M&P sub-compact pistols can now be had with an external thumb safety, so that might alleviate some of my concern.
I have a Colt New Agent that I've though about appendix carrying. The sub-compact polymers just seem better though, as the 1911 has so many sharp points and edges on the grip and back of the slide that stand out like a sore thumb when a shirt is pressed against them (not to mention jabbing the hell out of you stomach and ribs).
