I agree, only I'm reversed. I'm a 3:00 guy. anything other than that just doesn't feel right. I've also got this really strange hang-up about my pistol being behind me, even though it's still on my person.

As a lefty, I usually carry at somewhere between 8 and 6. 9 just widens me out too much and looks obvious. Different methods for different frames - not everyone can carry the same way. I use to carry SOB all teh time.

I carry at 3,4 or 5. It depends on what I am wearing/doing. If I'm driving, I may use 3. Most of the time I'm at 5, it just feels better and I can access easier.

I like the 4:00, but with THE ANSWER it is 3:00 as well. It is actually the best holster I have ever had.

Do you tuck it, cover it, or both?

Never tried mine @ 3, always at 5 ish. How does it feel there?

I'm probably not as thin as some of the responders. But my best carry is cross at about 10:00 for the barrel, which puts the grip at about 10:30-11:00, covered.
It might take a certain amount of extra malleable flesh for some to be able to conceal in this fashion. I chose the oatmeal cookie regimen.

It is great. I think because the holster distributes the weight evenly is the reason.

"Tucking" is where you actually tuck the shirt in over the holster/firearm - only the clip/loop is outside and that is made with the attchment point to the holster low enough the shirt can be tucked in between holster and clip/loop. Tucker makes a lot of very nice holsters of this type.
