Not sure if I am just getting older, or what, but I have started getting getting sciatic pain when I carry a heavy gun at my preferred location of 4 O'clock. Especially with a revolver that puts most of that weight on the leading edge of the cylinder.

Currently I have switched an autoloader like my glock or sig P6, because they are lighter and the flatter profile spreads the weight out, and for the most part this has taken care of the problem. Other than I am still a wheel gun guy at heart, and I would like to carry my 686 again pain free. I currently use a lobo holster, but I have been wondering if a flatter holster like an alien gear would help any...

Has anyone else dealt with nerve pain after carrying? How did you deal with it?
