It is probably best answered by: what works best for you.
Personally I use all my belt loops.
Belt Loops...Yes, that's right...Belt loops. A question occurred to me as I was putting on my holster this morning.
Do you usually place your holster "between" two belt loops, or over one of them?
For me, it depends on which holster I use. For my .45 I have 2, one is flatter and rides higher than the other. Both are OWB. Right now I'm wearing the Galco holster between the loops. This puts my weapon at 4 O'clock. Sometimes I place it over 1 loop so that the belt threads like this...holster slot-->belt loop-->holster slot.
For my .38, I have an IWB holster that is more comfortable between my belt and my pants rather than inside the pants. I've never been comfortable IWB.
Yeah, I know its kind of a stupid question, and it probably depends on the pants, the weight of the weapon, etc.
How's all that Hope and Change working out for you?

It depends where the loops are on the pants but if I'm using an IWB holster I like to put the loops (of the holster) one on each side of a belt loop.

I put my OWB holster on my belt, put my belt thru a loop then put the belt back thru the other side of the holster. Otherwise it's too far forward or too far back and I don't want to leave the belt outside a loop or the holster might hang out further.

Same here that way it holds the holster to the belt and pants at roughly 5 O'clockOriginally Posted by Treo

My Cleveland has two holster clips, and I position mine between belt loops to carry at about 4'oclock.
Depends on what pants I'm wearing. I prefer to carry mine at the 4 o'clock position which makes it straddle the second beltloop.
Belt Loops I carry my XD-40 in one of two holsters. One is the holster that came in the kit with the gun, and I wear it pushed up against the belt loop on the right hip, which puts it at about 4 o'clock. I also have a Blackhawk Serpa on a paddle that I wear between 4 and 5 o'clock. The magazine holder has two loops, so I position the left side belt loop between the loops on the holder, which keeps it secure in one spot. I also wear a pair of Perry suspenders that keeps the weight of the equipment off of my hips.

I have to agree with many above. It all depends on the holster, the weapon, and the layout of the belt loops on the pants. Carrying concealed everyday at work I will vary how I use the belt loops, as they are different on each brand of pants, so that my holster is in the same place all the time. Keeps my weapon in the same place for the muscle memory of the draw every time. That's what is important to me.
