Thanks for the thoughtful input.
I hadn't thought about the back of the hip option. I have some concern re keeping my weapon concealed but it is an opption I want to pursue. Thankks for suggesting it.
My chair has veey low splash guards but doesn't have arm rests or other more typical items thT would interfer with my access.
My upper body mobility is at least a 3/5, some days even a 4/5. For a fat old man my upper body strength isna solid 4/5... maybe 5/5 if age adjusted. I do have serious nerve damage in my left hand so I'm limited to depending oon my right; whch is a damned good tbing as I'm naturally right handed. I'm still using my left hand for.both two hand and one handnshooting at the range with decent success - clearly not as good as my right. The real issue is I tend to drop things and cramp up with my left so can't depend on it for draw or first shot.
This is probably TMI, but perhaps helpful for further thought.
Again, thanks for your input.
Thankk you also for whT you're doing. I pray God wil watch over you, your team, and the rest of your BN.

Most of the SOB holsters I have seen hold the weapon in a near-horizontal orientation, requiring you to draw it out to your side somewhat. Unless your wheelchair had no side-rails I would expect that to be difficult to manage.
Holsters designed to be worn behind the strong-side hip are designed to have the weapon drawn more upright, where it seems to me you would be less encumbered by the constraints of your wheelchair.
How is your upper body mobility? Could you manage a lateral draw like a true SOB holster?
I am not an expert at this, just my random thoughts on the subject. If it's truly a 4 or 5 o'clock hip holster you are looking for I can tell you what _I_ like, but I have zero experience with true SOB holsters (other than being told to stay away from them for many other reasons as well)
