I was wondering, has anyone used this holster with it in the small of the back instead of the hip? Pros / cons to either position?
Thanks for all the helpful reviews.
I see that is your first post, so welcome. Lots of info here if you browse around. As far as small o' back, the biggest drawback I've heard is not from comfort or concealing, but from safety. If you were carrying there, and then took a heavy blow there (fall down stairs, trip and fall on curb, etc.) you could really mess yourself up when otherwise you could probably just brush it off with some scrapes and bruises. It is however, very easy to conceal there with most body types. Just make sure that when you draw that your muzzle does not point at any part of your body.
I'm assuming (since this is your first post here and you just got your FL CWP) that you're probably concerned with the gun showing through clothes on your hip. You can do a search on this site and find dozens of forums with new people concerned about such things, and the general consensus is that the general public doesn't notice. With cell phones, pagers, etc. dangling from most people's hips these days, gun is not usually the first thing people would think when noticing a bulge (if they even care to notice one). Carry it however is comfortable for you, and if you're concerned about people spotting it, don't be.
