I'm not as pear-shaped as I used to be, but upward is where I'd want it - my instructor wore his high, not at/near the beltline but more towards where the gun would hang in a shoulder holster, only "vertical" instead of "horizontal" like it would be in an actual shoulder holster. Between the arm & torso but high enough above the belt to avoid most unnecessary contact seems like a good place to conceal.

BTW, the Crossbreed SuperTuck appears to be a copy of Tuckers Answer. http://rlcompanyusa.stores.yahoo.net/answeriwbs.html But with Tucker's long lead times, I can certainly understand someone opting for the Crossbreed.

Not to mention the prices - the Crossbreed & Comp-Tac versions are half of what the Tucker goes for. The question of what's a copy of what seems a bit pointless - they're all competing models based on a common (and brilliant) design.

When I'm driving, I just leave it in the same place, and it's no problem. YMMV.

Thanks KC5AV! I think I'll try out the Crossbreed, it seems to have the smaller "height" dimension vs. the Comp-Tac, which I should think will make for a more comfortable "installation".

Great discussion, especially for those of us with non-pocket-pistols who haven't decided on a carry method yet!

I'm in almost exactly the same situation as Charger the OP: escaped from Kalifornia, just took my class on Saturday, and own a more-or-less full-size Glock (mine's the 30, not exactly huge, but not exactly a P3AT either). My instructor demonstrated how he carries (high-riding belly-band under the shirt) and that looked awful tempting, but I've also been looking at this Crossbreed SuperTuck as well as the Comp-Tac Minotaur MTAC that's been reviewed here (those two are very similar IWB models). The belly band is only $25 and the Crossbreed has a no-questions-asked guarantee, so I might just try both and see which I like better.

I also had another thought that was brought back by Chas above, and that is this: for those of you who do under-a-tucked-shirt carry, do you leave it where it is when you get in your car/truck, or do you pull it out, stash it in a better/more accessible location for the drive, then put in back on and re-tuck when you arrive and get out of your vehicle?
