Mines usually 4:00 IWB and about 4-4:30 OWB. If its OC then it's right at 3-3:30
Openly, OWB retention, 1500-1530. Works well for me in most seating and both of our vehicles.

I like 3:00 position in an OWB. When I let my arms hang naturally, I like the pistol just in front of my forearm in my "working space" in a relatively high riding holster. Although I've never tried it, I don't think I would be very comfortable with appendix carry, either physically or emotionally.

I've always carried OWB at 3 to 3:30 concealed in a pancake or paddle. My current EDC's are a Shield 9 and now an XDS 9 that I recently picked up. The only time I've ever OC'd is on the farm.

Like mentioned earlier, I just ordered some stuff from Alien Gear yesterday including a Cloak 3.0 IWB. I've never thought that IWB could be comfortable but I've decided to give it a try.

If not pocket carry, IWB 3:30. If driving on a long trip, possibly shoulder carry under open button shirt.

somewhere around 10 or 11, yes, I'm right handed, not too long after I started carrying I hurt my right shoulder and couldn't move my arm straight back, so I moved my holster to the left side. I really like it there, for me, it's easier to conceal and the draw is smoother.

Varies depending on what I'm carrying.

LCP: Pocket holster
G42: Pocket holster or appendix
G19/VP9: Appendix, IWB 3:30 or OWB 3:00

Among others.

12:30 pretty much all the time. For me it conceals better, and I vastly prefer the retention, especially in crowds.

I only go 3:30-4:00 for full size guns, or guns without a hammer or grip safety (like to ride the hammer with my thumb when holstering, esp. Appendix).

I'm exclusively 3-3:30. What varies for me is holster.

- OWB before/after work Monday-Thursday
-- includes home, shopping, etc.
- IWB starting Friday after work
-- includes home, shopping, church, etc.
Almost always concealed under shirt.
