How to Choose the Right Concealed Handgun Carry Position

3:30 seems to work best for me, I seem to have a natural 'dimple' in my hip/pelvis there that my IWB fits into pretty comfortably. Although I've considered SOB as well...may get a lefty IWB to try that out, which would also open the possibility of a 9:00 cross-draw setup.

I do like the way they wear their holsters (I know....a *TV show*...) on NCIS-New Orleans. Small of the back, but inverted (pistol grip UP), with a slight downward cant to the barrel. But I don't know who would make a holster like that...

I have an SOB designed as such for my XDS. Made in Europe. Need to get one for my Hellcat.

Most SOB holsters are butt-up...because that’s they way you’re going to reach behind your back...never seen a butt-down SOB, come to think of it.

Either way, though...SOB carry is not anything I will consider; it’s just not a good idea.
 
AIWB works best for me. Very comfortable and accessible. I will have to admit, though, that I am way more comfortable with a SA/DA when carrying that way.

Curious as to the reasoning there?

The "other" SOB orientation I've seen is standard muzzle-down - IWB, but at 6:00.
 
I like around 2:00. I can comfortably carry a large handgun as well as drive with it. I really like the show NCIS L.A. especially how their Sig's magically appear from the SOB when wearing skin tight Tee Shirts.
 
IMO the SOB holster is a pretty specialized holster that one really has to get used to.

They've been around forever so the idea is a legit one.
 
I used to carry at 3:30, now as I got older and lest flexible is 3:00, so far is the most comfortable for me, I carry in Milt Sparks VM IIs that don't work well for appendix carry.
 
Random weird question about carrying concealed. Has anyone ever carried the CZ P10C concealed? Pros? Cons?....I'm in a massive OCD internal monologue debate about ordering either the P10C or P10S next Friday...lol

About 2:30 or 3, always IWB carry JM4 Tactical holster with spare mag on left side pocket usually.

what are you carrying? Was looking at the jm4 and can’t decide if I want to go deep
Conceal and forego grip, or go high(maybe even tuckable as an option for when I tuck in my shirt).
 
I’ve tried several of the positions, but have always come back to appendix. I really wanted to like 4 o’clock, but it just never felt comfortable. I decided to compromise by carrying my main EDC appendix, and keeping an LCP II in my back pocket.
