well I carry on a daily basis to class, so I favor a small of the back carry for deeper concealment. The slower draw might be a problem one day, but it is not worth the panic that flashing my sidearm will cause the other 364 days of the year. After not being able to find a suitable small of the back holster that I liked for my Beretta 8045 mini cougar I decided to experiment with other options. This is what I use to carry these days

http://www.rangerjoes.com/bdu-rigger-belt-p-4406.html with a ribbed tank top(does anybody call them that? a wifebeater for those that don't know what a ribbed tank top under shirt is.)

I simply put on the wifebeater, then put on the rigging belt around my belly. I use the elastic band that is to hold the extra part of the belt to insert the barrel of my sidearm and then tighten the buckle to my left side. I did numerous tests with an unloaded sidearm to include 45 minutes on a treadmill, jumping rope and other physical activity that I normally wouldn't do during a normal carry day and found it was comfortable for me and stayed in place. I have carried this way for almost a year now.

I still practice drawing every once and a while. I just have to remember to not bother pulling the shirt up just away with the other hand and get my hand up there and I can help the release by sucking in my stomach and loosening the belt.

I think of it this way. Someone who says that you should buy a holster made for the gun from a manufacture, probably also thinks I should buy my bullets for my sidearm instead of making them myself as well.
