I have to second Skiprr's post.Carrots wrote:Everything I have read and been told about this so far has been bad, but having tried out a few positions earlier today this felt best. I only collected my pistol today and so I'm not set on any method yet, and obviously this method is no good for seated situations and so it would always need to be used in conjuction with another method which could be a problem in itself. That said has anyone got anything GOOD to say about SOB carry? I don't want to be plonker but there is a lot to be said for a reasonable ammount of comfort and I'm not on my behind to much. I know that compromise is implicit in any carry decision, but I'm a little tempted to give this a whirl.
Thanks folks
Very few LEO's use this method for the reasons Skiprr outlined.
There are always exceptions for individual circumstances, but SOB is not in the top 3 or 4 methods of off duty carry in most agencies.
LEO's are at least as interested in comfort as anyone else, because many of them are required to carry off duty, so there may be a hint here about the wisdom of this carry method when better options are available.
