Looking at the picture, its hard to imagine how you get a good solid grip on the gun before drawing. Not enough of the grip seems to be exposed for it to work well. IMHO anyways.

Yep agreed. In that picture the pistol is 'jammed' way down deep, in reality you leave more of the grip exposed. It works well when you're in shorts and t-shirt summer time mode, put the cumberbund on and go.

Does it get hot in the summer? I'd be more inclined to carry a pocket gun in the real hot summer with light clothes on. Seems like that band up that high would be hotter...but I guess like a lot of things might not know until you try it.

Also in general to the original topic of carry position. I like the idea of a 1-2 o'clock appendix carry, it seems to me I have more "control" over my firearm. Whereas at 4-9 o'clock I have a percieved probably irrational fear that the gun is more easily snatchable. The problem is that position seems the least comfortable, again, hoping MTAC will help, but I don't know....how do people make it work? Or is it just not that popular because of comfort and some just deal with it?

The loop or ring is a good idea to make the velcro more adjustable I think. I'm still thinking modding another holster might be good if it doesn't fit in the traditional clips for me.

Good ideas!

When I tried with a cheap IWB holster I couldn't find anything comfortable. I'm hoping the MTAC I ordered will fill the bill. But even as mentioned here it could probably be easily modified in a reversible way to use either clips or a belly band. Any ideas on what would be the most ideal material for a thin comfortable belly band? I was even thinking some thin buckskin might be nice....
