MTAC carry position

So, I have been wearing my MTAC around the house a bunch in preparation for the arrival of my permit (hopefully) soon.

I have noticed that it is somewhat uncomfortable for me to carry at 4:00 and sit down, but I haven't tried 4:00 with a different cant yet. I am leaning towards 3:00 carry with the default cant as being the most comfortable method, but I am wondering what other people have found works for them as well.

I'm right around 3:00ish with my mtac. I adjusted the cant a bit more forward from default to bring the grip more up into my side to conceal better.

I voted 4, but it really is closer to 3:30 posit.

It's just a matter of taking the time to adjust it and wearing it in various positions until you get a good fit for you.

It takes some time but it's well worth the effort!

I didnt vote in the poll, I carry at 3:30. If I carry at 4:00, my grip digs into my ribs when driving. If I carry at 3:00, my gun is farther forward than I prefer.

I voted "other" because I'm a lefty and this is obviously a pole to irritate those of us who are in our right minds I wear mine at just about 7:30-8:00, I carry a full-size 1911 and any other position is very uncomfortable on my hip, love the holster tucked or untucked.

I voted other because my "sweet spot" appears to be between 4:30 and 5:00.

Very comfortable holster.

I realized that right after I hit post...too bad I can't edit it so the options are

2:00/10:00
3:00/9:00
4:00/8:00

I voted 4:00 but it is closer to 3:30, just behind the hip and with a slight forward cant. When I first adjusted the cant I initially lifted the rear of the holster to cant it forward. That made it more difficult to tuck my shirt, so I lowered the front of the holster one notch, and that has worked better for me.

I voted 4:00 also but mine is more like 4:30. I gave it a little more cant and everything is perfect for me wheter standing or sitting.
