Question IWB: Where do you wear yours?

My primary weapon is a Springfield Ultra Compact 1911. I have a small of the back right handed draw IWB holster with thumb break, but I don't feel that I would be able to draw it quickly if I needed to. Also everytime I bend over or sit down and stand back up I have to make sure my shirt is pulled down over the holster. So I ordered a regular (Fist) IWB with a J hook. I would love to carry it in the front of my pants (easy for quick access) but I can't sit down or bend over with it in the front of my pants.

Where do you carry yours to maximze comfort and accessability?

I carry mine just behind my strong side hip (3:30 position). I find this the most comfortable for me and still easily accessible.

Right about 3-3:30. The front edge of the holster is right on the seam of my pants.

Same for me, right about 3:30 maybe 3:45 strong side.
Small of the back can also cause you injury, as the gun is against your spine, fall down, and you could have problem.
