Spinoff: Where do you conceal carry and what do you carry?

Depends on what I’m wearing. I usually wear nike golf shorts pretty much everyday and I’ll carry appendix iwb with a custom kydex taco. Jeans or long pants I’ll usually carry somewhere around 4/5.

When I would carry full size IWB, it would be at the 6 position.

You should do some research before doing this. It's commonly referred to as SOB (small of the back) carry in the training world, and it's almost always been discouraged by everyone I've trained under.

The problem is that if you land on your back in a struggle (Clint Smith says a lot of gunfights start out are fistfights, and a lot of fistfights start out as shoving/grappling matches), the gun is against your spine. Landing on the gun can cause serious damage to your spine.

When I mention the foregoing in my classes, every doctor and nurse in the room nods their head in agreement.

The SOB position also makes it difficult to defend against a gun grab, and generally makes it quite slower for you to draw your gun.
