Yeah, but how do you sit with that thing on? Especially in a car seat? All the photos on their website show the gun riding on top of the pelvis, just below the beltline. Looks like any of my guns larger than my LCP (which I can already conceal in standard pants pockets) are going to either puncture my lower belly or something more important. If you have no belly/love handles at all, perhaps that system works. But for a guy like me, I'd be scared to even try it.

Or can it be carried with the gun at a normal 3 o'clock to 4 o'clock position?

This brings up another inconvenience with tucked concealed carry. What if you have to leave gun in the car temporarily during the day? If you run to post office, you have to untuck, remove gun, then go find a private place (restroom) to reholster and retuck. Don't know about y'all, but I can't retuck my shirt around my gun/holster while sitting in the car. Reholster the gun, sure? But not retuck the shirt.

And I often have to do this twice a day (dropping off and picking up my kids at preschool) - can be a real inconvenience/time waster. Often if I know I'm going to have to remove my pistol during the day for some reason, I end up choosing pocket carry or (if possible) going untucked for the day.

I like having the ability to carry tucked, but it's not a cure all for me.
