another for OWB, either with a paddle serpa cqc or a belt slide for my g23. extra mag and cuffs also carried in fubus paddle combo.
 
Not enough choices. I picked IWB and "other", but as often as I carry IWB, I carry on a belly band attached to a support bra. That's a very good place to hide a small (or even not-so-small) gun on many women, as long as you make sure you can get to it quickly if you need it.

I've also carried OWB concealed (with a proper cover-up garment) and occasionally in a purse, although I try not to. (I've concluded that in a purse is better than not at all, but to be avoided wherever possible because of the risk of having the purse *and* your weapon snatched at the same time.)

Just for the heck of it I have worn this shoulder holster rig this summer and have been pleasantly surprised at its performance as a CCW option.

It is a Triple K found at Cabelas for about $75.00 which makes it a lot less than any of the more well known Galco shoulder holster setups.

For the price it has turned out to be a very, very good puchase. The leather is soft, pliable, and very comfortable to wear. To get it just right takes some time, adjustment, and patience. But, once it is done it affords a safe, secure, and highly effective CCW rig. Because it is summer I have been able to conceal it with a variety of light shirts and jackets with no problem. Winter does not seem to pose a problem using the same light shirts over the holster and a warm jacket over all.

I haven't tried one of the popular Galco rigs largely because of their three digit price tags. They may be better but Cabelas Triple K is pretty doggone good in its own right.:D
 
I picked IWB, but can do either with the same holster. If I feel like it, OWB on the belt is the same, just need a longer shirt
 
I Bought a shoulder holster out of Cheaper than Dirt and find it to be very comfortable to carry during winter and fall sometime spring, but pocket carry during summer is only way to go!:D
 
Same as cranky...

I also carry IWB small of back. Almost NEVER carry an extra mag as my carry is a full sized 16+ 1. I've tried 3 to 5 o'clock a million times and it just does not feel comfortable (guess it's the love handles!) my gun is full size and full weight, wicked heavy with a full clip, and IWB small of back is really easy to conceil.

My problem is the opposite. I am too skinny to carry anywhere but SOB. I have tried carrying strong and weakside from 3 to 5 o'clock as well (trying to put some wight on, I eat like a horse all day, and never excercise), but even with the Springfield Micro Compact (3" barrel, officers frame), it prints quite obviously unless its SOB.
 
IWB fullsized M&P 45 4.5 in bbl. Year round left side at about 9:30 in a customized Desantis Cozy partner. (Had a guy at the boot repair shop modify it to rake it a bit forward and drop it about an inch lower into the waistband. Cost me about $10 to have him do this.)
 
Mostly I am a waist:D I do carry pocket at times in the winter when the coat I am wearing has a pocket is large enough to do so. This is usually when I am on a quick errand or wearing sweats which isn't often.
