I carry my XD .40 Subcompact usually in my front. I have a Galco IWB holster. For me, it feels like the best place to keep it without it being noticed through clothing. I would rather carry it somewhere near my back, I think. Will I be able to fix this problem with a better holster and belt? Also, I am looking to invest in a shoulder holster being that I will be wearing coats quite a bit now because of the snow coming. What is recommended in this department?
Where do you like to carry your weapon?

Glock 21SF in an MTAC at about 2:55 or so, just barely in front of the hip. Makes for a very timely draw.

If I'm just running arrends around town I honestly like to carry freestyle without a holster. That way I can carry in front and when I'm sitting down I can switch and put it behind me. Course I'm gonna have to change this soon as I will be moving back to the states soon and won't beagle to wave my gun around whenever I want

I carry about 95% of the time. Winter I carry a Smith J Frame (model 37) in an ankle holster and in the summer a Colt Pony in a pocket holster
Most of my handguns are carried in some type of open top OWB holster just behind my right hip (most commonly a Kramer or El Paso). The exception to this is my Colt Cobra which is carried in a Galco pocket holster in either my right front pant pocket or inside jacket pocket.

I generally carry my Ultra CDP in a Don Hume JIT slide at 3:00 + or - an hour, depending on dress. Ultra comfortable for me and very inexpensive. P32 in Uncle Mike's size 1 in right back pocket, always.
Glock 26 (subcompact 9mm) in a tuckable IWB holster, appendix carry.
Because I have a short torso and a typical female hourglass shape, appendix carry is the only way I personally can carry concealed on the belt. Every other position for concealed holsters just does not work and is not comfortable. (Women have curves -- guns do not. It's a losing combination.) By moving the holster to the front, the gun rides comfortably without digging into my ribs or hip. As a bonus, I can easily draw with either hand and it's much easier to defend from a grab. And with the tuckable holster, it's easily concealed under ordinary women's clothing.
On the range (when I must demonstrate for classes), I use a dropped and offset holster from Blade Tech, which is very comfortable and works well because it kicks the butt of the gun out away from my body despite the hip curve. But that holster won't be concealed with anything less than an oversized parka that reaches to my knees!
