I'm new to EDCing and pistols in general, help a moron out
I bought a shield plus some time ago and the store threw in some kydex IWB holster, I think it said Saya on the bag or something like that.
It was my understanding that there are basically two common styles of IWB carrying, AIWB and 4-o'clock
I was sure I'd end up carrying AIWB because it seemed more easily accessible, I was told it's the more "concealed" option of the two, it's less likely to be snatched without me noticing and I can't count the times I saw someone carries 4-o'clock because their shirt got under the gun.
TL;DR I was told 4-o'clock is more comfortable and appendix is more concealable.
But after EDCing for a while I found AIWB very unpleasant throughout the day (including the cross-draw variant which I also tried) and could only reliably conceal the shield with the flush mag.
And in stark contrast, 4-o'clock wasn't just MUCH more comfortable whether sitting, standing or moving (I notice it but it doesn't bother me) but I also have no trouble concealing the shield even with the extended 13-round mag.
So here's my actual question, what am I doing wrong? IS there something I might be doing wrong?
Since I'm new to carrying I have no frame of reference, I have no idea if it's me that's doing something wrong, if it's a shitty holster, if it's my body type (skinny-fat) or maybe it's just personal preference.
I still don't like the idea of having my gun behind me and would like to see if I can make some variant of appendix work, but the alternative is less effective and unpleasant
