As the years go by, and retiring, I am finding myself becoming more "slouchy". :lol:
That said, I carry OWB at 3:30 and, if not wearing a jacket, I usually wear a buttoned and untucked shirt.

Carry 24-7 or guess right.

Good position to carry at expecially if someone is trying to rob you of your wallet, just act like your complying then grab your weapon and :fire

I learned a new word in here the other day. Is this one of those "necro-posts"? :mrgreen: I figure I will pile on as well. I typically wear a T-shirt of some sort over mine. I like wearing baggy T-shirts so it works.

This entire thread is in this year. I wouldn't really call this necro-posting.

Ok, I think I got it now. 2019... not necro-post. 2012 = necro-post.

As for the OP (Crash), how did you make out? I assume you've practiced with different garments and styles, what ended up working for you?

For me, a buttoned untucked shirt works great on the bike while I carry at 6 o'clock (easy to retrieve). In the car, heck no, I need the 3 o'clock holster. And usually either OC or a concealment unbuttoned shirt with a T-shirt underneath. Kinda like a jacket on cold days (both of them every year here in TX :mrgreen: ).
If I was just making a quick trip from the house 6 o clock Mexican carry was my go to. However, if you get pinned on your back, 6 o clock is no bueno.
