I think any leather holster with lesser can't will be comfy at 3o'clock.

I am also one who's suffered from chronic back issues... and surprisingly, when I move the holster back a little further, it gets way better and I can drive all day with it. I just can't do 3o'clock (actually 9 -I'm lefty) as i smack it on chair arms, hang up in seatbelts, etc. Good luck in finding what you need, I know how bad it is having back issues.

Good luck

comptac infidel, before spending money i decided to try using it closer to 3 again. I had done this before and just had issues with hitting things and the grip showing too much for my liking through the shirt.

Been going on this one at 3oclock for a few weeks and somehow its working, not having the issues I did before with the concealment etc.
I think i'm going to try out a purpose built appendix rig and see how i like that, i've got one appendix holster but its just too thick. After a lot of reading the concealed concepts shaggy looks like a winner there.

all else fails i'll just move to owb.

For more security the Desantis quick snap looks good. I only wear owb at my ranch area and with the mini-scabbard the gun doesn't budge and I don't know it's there. Tried a Tagua holster but need a larger belt to wear the way the belt loops through the holster. Tagua is nice though. Will stick with Desantis next time. Cheaper to buy from Amazon or another dealer than Desantis. Got mini-scabbard from Midway.

Good suggestion thanks, hadn't thought about Amazon might just get a mini scabbard to try with my shield since its prime I get it in 2 days and easy to return if it doesn't work well for me

Thanks for all the quick suggestions, I'll look into these options.
Thinking I may just have to start adapting to the idea of owb or appendix possibly
Getting old stinks

Lately my lower back pains been flaring up a lot and when I'm carrying if I sit down for any period of time the behind the hip holster really makes things much much worse. Last week driving somewhere that was about 40 min each way I really felt the pain so it may be time to just move away from behind the hip carry

I tried a cheap kydex owb and it was so rough around the edges and dug in to my side too much

Any good strong side 3 o'clock recommendations ? Preferably iwb, though I'm not opposed to owb if it can conceal well with a shirt
