IMO there is not one. 6 O'clock SOB is an unsafe method of primary carry. You would be better to look for something to carry appendix at 12-1. It offers the same level of concealment with quicker and safer deployment. Again, all just my opinion. Good luck.
What weapon are you carrying? A good belt also goes a long way for comfort and ease of carry, even at 3-5. |

I never understood why?
But then again I don't get 5:00 carry either. AIWB or 3:00- 3:15 for me and using a straight drop IWB if using compact 4inch pistols |

I've used an Alessi Talon at 6,5&4. It works well

Just out of curiosity and no harm intended....is that you in your avatar? I'm assuming it is.
If that's you and the t-shirts you normally wear are like the one you're wearing in that pic, NO holster is going to conceal well. Granted, I'm sure you have thought of this. Just throwing it out there. My Crossbreed makes my PPQ pretty much vanish at about the 4-4:30 position. I don't dress slouchy by any means, but my shirts are longer and bigger than the one in the pic. YMMV.

But you are RIGHT I do buy shirts 1 size larger . but that's because 3:00 is the hardest position to carry IWB. 3:00 is also the best position if one can pull it off. Ive found that its the height of the pistol is what is hard to hide rather than length. One reason I kick myself for not buying the better P30LS instead of my P30S |

AIWB is a great position for certain pistols and certain builds. But I would be willing to bet it is not the flattest part of the body on most people. ETA: But as you stated....if you can pull it off. It does conceal well for many. |

And yes Ive seen / been in several fights that ended on the ground. Like I stated before I carry in both positions. but favor 3 because of the above issue that can happen. |
