Just holster/gun choice...I drove from CO to FL with a CCO size 45 IWB(Sparks summer special) pretty much on my hip the whole way.
That is a pretty small carry gun, so might be the holster. What kind? |

So, I am trying to get used to carrying IWB with a Springfield XD-S 3.3? 9mm. Question 1: Do you guys keep it IWB when in the car? Or do you pull it and place elsewhere while driving? Just curious as I drove to work today and it sticks me in the leg the whole way. Thanks for fielding a dumb question. It shouldn't be anywhere near your leg. Where are you carrying it? If 12 o'clock is your belt buckle, where on the clock face is it? I carry mine(glock 30) about 4:30 with a theis holster and a good belt, I barely notice it in the car. There's no way I would be able to draw it quickly in the car from that position, but I don't unholster every time I get in the car. |

ooooOOOO. 4:30 sounds interesting. I just have it in band around the 1:30 mark, so you can imagine how it sits pointing at my leg.

My car has some pretty good bolsters, so anything between 2-5 oclock is a bit awkward, so I tend to go SOB around 5:00 with a small gun, or if I'm going to be doing more driving than anything else and am dressed for it, crossdraw. A bit unconventional, but it works for me.

I carry a G19 IWB at 4:30 and its no problem to carry in the car.

Didn't even think much about it. The guy at the range I bought from wore there.
I'll be trying 4:30 the rest of the day. |

Some people hate 4:30 and really enjoy 3:00, 3:30, 6:00...cross draw(which I really don't like for more than just comfort reasons) Whatever works the best for you is what you should use. |

No. It is in a holster.

I always keep my gun in the holster when I am carrying unless I need it (haven't so far) or am putting it away in the safe for the night. I think carrying it in a consistent place/manner is good practice. I carry IWB at my 3:00-3:30, and when I am driving it nestles right in between my hip and the seat belt buckle. I have never had a problem with it, I recommend experimenting with different carry positions to figure out what works best with standing, running, sitting, bending over, etc.
