For OWB I usually go with a Raven Phantom with the 10 degree cant. Been using the wings on the belt since they started offering them. Usually set the Raven's to sit high. Loose untucked shirt that covers it and I'm good to go. Ran into a friend who knows I carry last summer and she spent the 4-5 minutes were talked trying to find some sign of a full size P226 with no luck. With a 1911 Commander and that setup, there have been people who didn't think I was armed even though it was at a practical pistol event! Recently got something similar from 3i Holsters at the Medina Gun Show for a P229 in 357SIG and liking it. Will likely be going to them in the future.

When I OWB for classes, it's in the same position as I place my IWB - at about the 2:30 to 3'o-clock, straight drop.

I wear mine just slightly canted to the rear not forward....with a Serpa the barrel is pointed forward...with a rear can't you have to bring the barrel forward when yo draw...with a forward cant the barrel is already slightly forward....making for a quicker and easier draw for me...it works with my holster, not sure about any other..

3 o'clock, straight drop, every time I leave the house.
Only had one negative comment in nearly 6 years I've lived here and that was from someone that was probably from out of state.
