Done it on an off occasionally (more often in some time periods) for about 20 years. Like other methods, it's an option.

My preferred SOB carry is about 7:00 (I'm left handed) in a vertical IWB (1911 or Glock). Grip points toward strong side, so the draw is palm out, and the weapon isn't over the spine. I have no problem drawing without sweeping anything but the ground/floor, and also have no trouble driving that way (wouldn't be my choice for extended road trip, but an hour or less is fine).

I do have a Galco SOB for my Glock 19, and find I don't prefer that method nearly as much.

I also use other methods: Shoulder holster (semi-frequent), off body carry (less frequent, various methods) OWB and IWB (most common for me these days IWB).

You may find over time that different modes of carry may benefit in certain circumstances/situations. It is a good idea to get some exposure to many, so your choice will be an informed one, and you will have options as needed.
