That must be for that new carry style- IBC- in between the cheeks. When will they ever invent a holster that doesn't cause problems when you go to the shitter???
You're looking at this the wrong way, now nobody in the next stall will see your holster when your pants are low.
That's closer to IBE carry, they've got this thing that slips over th end of a barrel and front sight post on a revolver. Longgonedays tried it after his glock melted, said you either needed to go long barrel or internal hammer. He apparently went to draw his security six and it snagged, he said QC is no bueno in the back door.

Hey, if some guy can carry a loaded .38 K Frame up his heiney and some chick can hide a J Frame up her love canal, who's to say how far IWB means?
As far as the shoulder holster thing goes, I've used them a good bit for carrying a large revolver in the vertical position while in the woods, riding a 4 wheeler,etc. they work well.
I know of a few guys outside of the Detroit area who swear by them, but the weather is a lot colder, a lot longer so a cover garment isn't the issue it would be here. For folks who wear a suit regularly, and carry a full sized duty pistol they work rather well too, more so than trying to get the small belt you would wear with suit slacks to hold up the weight of a large gun.
For casual CC, they lose almost all of their benefits simply because most folks don't CC a big pistol to begin with, and it does require you to have a cover garment that adequately hides not only the gun, but the holster straps as well.

IWB for me. I wear a wife beater tucked in, IWB Kydex holster for a G-19, and a button down shirt over top. With a little practice, you can draw just as fast one handed like this. The last buton of the shirt is just below the waistline, so the right side of the shirt flips up very eaisily.
If I'm wearing a t-shirt, I pocket carry a ruger LCR.

3:30-4:00 ish, right behind the hip bone there. Kind of a natural pocket that is fits into.
Do you get a lot of looks out in public?
Do not mistake advice for Louisiana as applicable anywhere else.
Texas for instance SUCKS when it comes to printing and accidental exposure.
Louisiana doesn't suck regarding printing or wind blowing your shirt up and exposing your gun.
IWB for my fat ass at 3:30 with a Foxx holster. I've never had anyone notice. Even with 17rd mags.
I've ankle carried. Not bad with a decent rig and very little chance of someone noticing.

Everyone I know who carries, trains, and stays current on gun law in Texas says that they know of no one who's been charged with 'printing'.
While it is shitty to have such law there in writing, I wouldn't say the current /conditions/ for carry in Texas in general SUCKS. I hate having 'unenforced' laws on the books, because you never know when someone will choose to enforce it. It's apparently got to be a BAAAAD day and you have to be doing something VERY WRONG for a cop to charge you with 'printing' or briefly exposing the gun in the wind, or something like that, while carrying concealed.

IWB 99% of the time in a G-Code Holster INCOG in AIWB Position with spare mag carrier on it.
My backup stays in a Desantis Ankle Glove.
