I carry full size (sig p220) in a horizontal shoulder rig from Galco. I am a bit larger than you, but you could probably carry the same way with a compact auto, like a sig p245 in a Galco horizontal shoulder rig.

I'm 6'4" 260 lbs, but I love my Kahr P9. Its light as a feather.
Its a 9mm DAO polymer frame 7+1 work of art. I got big fat (but short) fingers, and this thing grips beautifully. Its compact, but yet still good size. I like the hi-ride holsters. The IWB holsters leave the firearm pointing at some vital body parts, and leaves me with an uncomfortable feel. Irrational, I know, but there you have it.... |

I like the itty bitty Glocks. I also like the SOB carry, but it has a couple shortcomings, first is if you fall on yer back you might injure your spine. Second is it is hard to keep an eye on it, in other words if someone knows your carring sob it aint too hard to get your pistol.
Mexican carry and a fullsize HK 40 is another I tend to do. |

Carrying "mexican" is having the piece tucked into your waistband, under your stomach. I too carry like this for quick trips to get milk, etc... BUT, it is not very secure and you really have to mind yourself lest the 'lil critter escape.

In some states carrying in your waistband is illegal even with a carry permit. Many states, such as GA, PA, and FL (I have permits from all three) specify it must be in a holster. It doesn't say what kind, so it can be ankle, ITB, or anything as long as there is a holster. The way one DA in GA put it was that they wanted to avoid the gangbanger look.

I'm 5'6". I carry either in a fanny pack in the summer, IWB, or Mexican. If you do carry mexi, use a loop of string (I use 550 cord). Loop it through a belt, put the muzzle through the loop, then into your pants. It will keep the gun from falling down into your pants, which i have had happen[pissed]

Mexican carry is anywhere but not in a holster. I carry just behind the hip, in the pants and cinch the belt tight. It`s a fast way to carry if(like stated above ) you are just running to the store. Also is more invisible in my opinion. Smooth sides are a real concerne, thus the glock.
