I've been carrying my XD45 Compact at SOB (IWB at 6:00) for about 8 months now. I find it to be relatively comfortable even when driving or sitting. In fact, over the holidays we drove to visit family 12-14 hours each way. My XD stayed in that position the vast majority of the trip. Currently, I'm using a $15 Uncle Mike's, left-hand, IWB holster. (I have a K&D holster on order.) I tried carrying at 3:00, but I’m a big guy (read overweight) and that caused some major printing on me. Plus, to carry at 3:00, I would have to restock the majority of my wardrobe. Regardless of where you shop, that can be expensive.
However, I can see the points most of you are making. The 3:00 position allows quicker and easier access. I am currently in the process of trying to lose weight. If I am successful enough, I hope to reward myself with a good 3:00 holster. How you carry is as much a personal decision as is what you carry.
