    90% OWB, 10% pocket, also not a fan of IWB. Probably because I have only tried a couple cheapo IWB holsters.

    Several folks I know really like IWB appendix carry.

    That said am a fan of Crossbreed(Snapslide and Dropslide) for carry and Safariland for competition.

    An inside the waist holster will never be as comfortable as a belt holster. I carry IWB when I absolutely need to but it has never been a favorite. OWB holsters are quicker for draw, is much better for comfort and there are so many problematic issues which can come up during the draw process from a IWB holster. An IWB requires larger clothing, it results in scraping against your skin, your body sweats on the holster and gun and none of these are comfortable for me.

    That's been my thinking on the subject, but I wondered and it does look like a few guys do prefer the IWB. I'm another that would have to buy new jeans before it would be an option for me.
    Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.

    Outside of the next size larger pants. Some of what you said was (to be polite) incorrect, outside it not being comfortable, for you. Not everyone can, or does. I do a 50/50, depending where i'm going and what i'm wearing

    . With the right holster you don't have those issues. As for quicker to draw. 3 of the instructors i work with can do 1.46-2.08 from concealed wearing a jacket, winter garments.. Myself, i'm a little slower coming in (on a good day) with 2.89-3.02,, again winter clothes. Compared to 2.8with owb.

    IF one practices, if they have the time, they can achieve surprisingly fast, on target reaction times.

    I run LAS Concealment or Alien gear AIWB / IWB holsters.
