OK, here's a "Starter Kit" for you:

SH: Shoulder Holster

OWB: Outside The Waistband

IWB: Inside The Waistband

Rake: The Angle the Gun Is Held At

3 O'Clock: Relates to where the gun is placed on the body with the navel being 12 O'Clock

Ankle Carry: Gun Carried in an Ankle Holster

Pocket Carry: Gun Carried in a Pocket in a Holster designed for this mode of Carry

I hope that helps. Me, I carry an N-Frame Revolver with a 4" Barrel as my EDC. The trick to carrying such a big gun is a good Holster and Belt. You may wait up to a year to get a great Holster/Belt from a "Custom" maker, but it's worth it. I also carry one on my Ankle and one in the Pocket unless I'm wearing shorts. If I'm wearing Shorts, Ankle Carry is out.
