    You can do it with a left handed adjustable can’t Yaqui type holster. I don’t know of a fully enclosed leather holster off the top of my head.

    When I have done it it was more of a 5 1/2 o clock than center d small of back.

    I know you mentioned not wild about Kydex, but I was wondering if CompTac had any owb belt attachments that had an adjustment range similar to their iwb belt loops and came across this thing:

    How can anybody sit in a chair or drive a car with a gun in their small of the back?

    It's uncomfortable enough behind the hip but doable for a short while.

    Depends on the individual. When I first started carrying that's how I carried. No problems. Car seats are soft, so is just about everything else you sit on

    Hmac said he had a specific need, I doubt that it is sitting or driving.

    I carry SOB ~50% of the time. It'll be a S&W Shield so not uncomfortable at all even when sitting in a car.

    If the gun is on my back, it's concealed. That means I need to lift up a shirt to get to the pistol. My palm will face my back so I can easily lift my shirt & slide my thumb behind the grip and draw the pistol. It just doesn't seem natural to lift a shirt palm facing out "jelly beans" style.

    If you open carry SOB style, you'll eventually have some turd try to take your gun when you aren't looking. Bad idea imo.

    OP - Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that a left-hand crossdraw holster worn small of back would position your right hand hand palm out for the draw.

    You have to shop angle and weapon, but it looks to me as if something like a DeSantis Criss-Cross would work: https://www.desantisholster.com/the-criss-cross/

    Thank you for the advice.

    Yep, but not available for any of the guns I carry.
