Not trying to be a PITA, but SOB carry has a lot of problems associated with it.

1. Everyone BUT you can see if the gun is printing if you bend over more than about 6 inches.
2. Anybody who sees this can come up on your six, push you forward to get you off balance, and grab your piece.
3. Terri from OGC has noted that at the 6 o'clock SOB position, if you draw, your arm is kind of cranked around and the muzzle will intersect your body at some point in the draw. Not good if you're in fear of GBH and about to rock and roll.
4. Minnezotah has ungodly long winters. Like close to six months this year. :twisted: :twisted: So you will walk on slippery surfaces for months at a time, and if you slip and fall backwards, your life is likely to change forever. Lumbar back surgery is a major bitch, and I got the 6" long and 6" deep scar to prove it. When the incision was open, it was big enough and deep enough to drop a beer can all the way into it. Sound like fun??

Be safe out there, and that means whenever you're carrying, and not just in the million to one possibility that you have to draw down on someone.

5 oclock is the best, not on the spine, close enough to reach without too much contortion, minimal print if you have it angled the right way and lower inside the waist band.

YAY!! If my own surgery wasn't bad enough, I got to see one close up and personal as a 3M surgical tech service rep a few years later. I'm not gonna say any more...
