Todd, I can't carry the government model there because when I sit the bushing catches my nuts and I am not a happy camper. And with doublestacks, by the time I have it at 1 o'clock the butt is too far to the right to be anywhere near the curve of my abdomen. I'm very thin and have a 31" waist.
Admittedly I haven't tried a good holster yet. I've had three Alessi appendix holsters on order since, IIRC, December 2005.

Thread Hijack/not directed at Todd:
I firmly believe that if anyone carries a gun on a daily basis, and do not have a blowout kit/first aid kit handy that includes a trauma dressing, chest seal, tourniquet and clotting agent (Traumadex, Quickclot, or similar) you are wrong. It should be in each car and in the home. Likewise, if a shooter has not learned how to use these things, but spend countless thousands on ammo, gear and training, their priorities are out of order.
Just sayin'...the life you save could be your own, or that of a loved one you were carrying to protect in the first place.
End Hijack.
My recollection -- poor as it may be for something that happened more than two years ago -- is that you were wowing everyone with your draw during the class. The twenty or so shots I happened to capture of that one draw doesn't tell the true story. Ah, the power of photojournalism!
Much better than what I was thinking. "Two Men Die in Genital Suicide Pact"
AIWB definitely doesn't print as much as 4:00, so AIWB allows a wider range of garments to be worn.
Carrying two pistols (J frame @ AIWB, 1911 or G19 @ 4:00), I have to dress to conceal the bigger pistol.
[QUOTE=ToddG;204701]
When you say "more concealed" do you mean with the same clothing or with clothing more appropriate to 4:00 carry (i.e., open front)? My wardrobe is much less noticeably "ccw-ish" with A-IWB. But if I wear something too tight, with my build (6', 210#, 38" waist) it definitely prints. Of course, if I tried carrying at 4:00 with that same shirt as my only concealment garment, it would print even more. And a big object on the hip looks more like a gun than a bump at the appendix.
