This is my preferred method of carrying. Also setting one's thumb on the hammer is reassuring while holstering.
My EDC is a Beretta Storm SubCompact. I occasionally carry a Ruger P95 and a Berretta P92, They are a bit heavy for me to EDC but they work the same way. There aren't many options these days for a traditional DA/SA although CZ has some nice options.

Mine as well. I've had several DA/SA pistols over the years, and I prefer it to the SA semi-autos, or DAO semi-autos. My most recent acquisition is an EEA Sarsilmaz B6c(basically a CZ75c clone) and I love it. Got it on sale for $232.00 + tax. https://grabagun.com/sar-b6c-cmp-9mm-3-8-13rd-blk.html

So basically the solution to my gun problem is to acquire another gun

Basically, that is the solution to any problem.

As I posted earlier, my etc has a safety... I only use it to holster or unholster as needed... I think my Ruger only weighs like 17oz empty... One of the lightest 9mm's out there...

To chim in... As said, everyone's different in their preferences.... I carry 4 o'clock IWB.... (really 8 o'clock since I'm left handed, but that's another story).. Anywho..... I chose the Ruger LC9s (May eventually switch to the S&W MP 2.0).. because it has a manual safety..... I carry with one in the chamber and NO safety engaged, however... before I holster, I engage the safety then afterwards I switch the safety off. That is how I am most comfortable.... Also as others have said... Most important is a good gun belt and a good quality (DON'T SKIMP ON THE QUALITY OF YOUR HOLSTER) hard shell holster for IWB....
