    Left-Hand Crossbreed for Small of Back Carry

    Now that the weather is warmer, I've been using lighter colored shirts. These seem to print more. I've notice that when I move my Crossbreed Supertuck to the 1:30 position up front, it practically disappears. I have broad shoulders, chest and back (grew up surfing in Hawaii). This means that carrying up front or small of my back hides well in the extra material of clothing between upper body and midsection.

    Obviously, small of back works better if a holster is designed for left-hand carry. Wondering if anyone carries like this. If so, what works or doesn't work. I've read about risks to falling down and injuring spine, etc.

    Thoughts?

    Oh yeah....carrying up front at 1:30ish is very uncomfortable when sitting.

    Small of the back is fine, I read all about it I ended up buying a cross breed super slide.. It's an OWB but it's right hand draw or offered in left hand cross draw... since it's got this as an option I assume I can wear it on the small of the back too.

    However.... I have read stories of people falling on the pistol and actually causing nerve damage and even up to paralyasis

      I almost always carry CrossBreed SuperTuck right handed at about 4PM, but my one other option is the Galco Skyops holster in so called "Calvary Style." That means that it's "left handed" at small of back so I draw it with my palm away from my back. It really allows deep, deep concealment at the cost of some draw ease.

        That's my favorite holster position as well with the right clothing (for the most part). I do want to try small of back carry so I'll take your suggestion into consideration and see how that works out for me.

        Thanks Gene!!
