For those of you unfamiliar with the "body clock," 12:00 is your belly button, so to speak.

I always carry my Glock 19 at the 4:00 position in a Fist #1A holster (similar to my old Alessi Talon that I wore out, and unfortunately Alessi isn't around anymore, but Fist makes good stuff) or a Milt Sparks Summer Special 2. I have tried appendix style carry but the guns seem to print more in that position, and more importantly, it feels horribly uncomfortable whenever you sit down. I know there are people who like appendix carry but it just doesn't work for me.

Try a bobbed hammer snubby in the appendix position if you haven't, Aaron. If you don't have a giant spare tire it should work. I normally carry in each front pocket, and if possible, a 5" 629 in a canted FIST kydex/leather hybrid IWB holster at 3:30.
 
3:30-4:00 (stronside) for me. Very comfortable with either Galco or Active Pro Gear IWB's.

Be safe.
 
98% of the time with my 642... appendix. Very rarely I'll carry it at 4 o'clock.

M&P40C: almost 50 / 50 between appendix and 4 o'clock depending on what I'm wearing.

What's with the g19, this is a S-W forum. Joking, thats an excellent weapon. I carry either my 6906, G30 or 5906 at about 1:45 in a Desantis Invisible Agent IWB.
 
I'm a cross-draw, would this be 10:00p.m.?
Thanks....

Haha. For what it's worth, I carry a 642 as backup in a pocket :)
 
The only comfortable IWB that I have found is 4 o'clock, strongside, but with a reverse carry. The gun butt points forward. Besides being more comfortable when setting, it also seems to keep the butt closer to my body promoting better concealment.

I've heard it called "calvary" carry. Also have read plenty of criticism of the style. But if I feel the need to go IWB its how I roll.

Much prefer a high ride pancake style OWB. Most of the time its just as concealable and way more comfortable/accesible.

Has anyone had a problem carrying a 19/66 IWB due to the adjustable sights? I have often thought about a 2.5" K Frame IWB but I wonder whether those sights would stick you..
