Lets be real , We all tend to forget it's not about Comfort , it's about accessibility to the weapon and the purchase you can get on the pistol grip . I don't care where you put you're pistol on your waistband from 12 to 6, if you can't grab it properly it's not worth carrying. It's your life, not a clothing accessory.
Yeah it is also about comfort no matter what Clint Smith says if your combination is uncomfortable and or painful to wear then chances are you'll not wear it. You recently had posted about what the best .380 for your daughter might be. Why a .380? Why doesn't she carry a 1911 on her hip?
Strap on a 6 inch S&W model 29 in a pancake holster and pack that around for a day then tell me it isn't about comfort.
The weapon needs to be accessible by all means but it needs to fit the user with a level of comfort that promotes the desire to attach it to ones self. This is why the concealed carry market has exploded with so many options in guns and gear so there's an option for virtually everyone. I prefer a 3:30 position in an owb pancake holster and I can carry pretty much any full size semi auto comfortably that way or a should rig depending on time of year. I can wear my PCR on my hip all day and it's always comfortable and never intrusive. The key is always finding the right gun for yourself then building your carry gear around it and your body that's why the right holster with a proper gun belt is always the key.
I was just stating that Comfort in carry, is secondary to the right pistol for the right person. A weapon that they can comfortably handle and shoot very well.
And when you can find a holster that is comfortable that's a plus.
For me personally I don't go with the idea of what gun and Holster I'm going to use according to the clothing I'm wearing.
I personally have chosen one pistol to carry and one holster to carry it in.
I always carry at the 3 o'clock position,
And I dress around my weapon.
My daughter can shoot a 9 mm po7 but is more comfortable shooting a 380,
And shoots it very well.
She's also chosen to carry in her purse and has a rig that that works in a number of different purses and gives her quick accessibility and she practices with it.
