SOB carry?

[m11higgins11]

I happen to like SOB carry for my M&P 357c when off duty. I will often carry it there when clothing do not permit for my serpa but have never carried IWB strong side. I also drill from 6o'clock often and have never been in a melee scrap. I will admit however, that I'd rather carry in a serpa holster strong side (right) with double mags on my left. It comes down to whatever is comfortable for individual.

We're not a big fan of SOB for reasons alluded to here already. You start a fight with one hand behind your back, cant get to the gun if you end up on the ground (and you will), cant get to the gun (easily or quickly) if seated in car/restaurant booth, etc. or pinned up against a wall, risk of spinal injury (I can tell u first hand this hurts even being taken down on a throw mat with a blue gun, much less a paved parking lot), extremely slow presentation from the holster relative to other positions. We'd rather you carry SOB vs not at all, just understand when wading thru all the BS, there are many postiions, just as (if not more) comfortable that afford you quicker/safer access to the firearm.

Since I already have a bad back from rolling a Crown Vic, I cannot imagine carrying at the 6 o'clock position. Not to mention you have your weapon trapped in you hit the ground or while seated.
I do carry at 3o'clock position...

I do a 5 o'clock carry most of the time. Not small of the back, so avoid the "danger" of that, but still a good spot. (I use a holster that holds it "upside down" so that draw is correct.)

I have run a few thousand miles cross country while carrying sob, using a padded holster with the belt on the outside of all. This kept the gun from bouncing or rubbing my hide.
I did practice a lot, usually using just one hand to draw.

I carried SOB for just under 20 years when I carried a lightweight J-frame. My only real problem with it was having to unholster the gun when I was driving and put it in my console.
