You may be wearing wrong....

Shoulder holsters feel too strange to me as well and too many of them are horizontal. I am not comfortable waving my muzzle around even if covered. Especially in the car with my sons in the back seat. If I were to ever carry a shoulder holster, it would be a vertical so just in case it ever does discharge (however unlikely that may be) I don't send a round downrange.

I've been carrying for about 6 years and prefer strong side at about 4 o'clock.

I have a IWB Desantis holster for my 4" Springfield XD in 9mm and a Kydex paddle holster for OWB (I have not had an issue with this following the weapon when drawn ....yet). I prefer the paddle holsters over pancake or belt slide in case I ever have to remove the weapon; I won't have to undress to remove the holster and I don;t like keeping the weapon out of a holster if away from the safe.

The majority of the time, I carry IWB unless I have a jacket or large shirt.
