    I use Don Hume H720 OT for all my pistols besides the LAR Grizzly mark 1.
    Comfortable, durable good price. Had a local leathersmith make a copy to fit the LAR. Same carry position, same draw angle makes switching weapons easy. Oh yeah all paddle holsters at 3/3:30.

    It depends on the time of the year, spring, summer, early fall, fanny pack or Maxpedition shoulder bag. Winter, shoulder rig, or just drop it in the back pocket of my bibs.. I can carry a Sig P245, Beretta 84, or just about any small to medium weapon in that back pocket.

    I carry under the seat of my truck and car. I have a leather holster for a Glock 21 zip tied under the drivers seat in my work car and a holster for an XD40 zip tied under the drivers seat of my truck. I carry an XD40SC in a Kholster that I leave in the holster for short trips or take it out and lay in inder my left thigh pointing forward if I am going to be in the car for more than 15 minutes.

    The firearms under the seat are off the floor, but I stick a bath towel in front of them in the winter to keep the melted snow from reaching them. I kike this setup best because I use my consles for GPS, Phone Accessories, surelights etc. Extra Mags are in the side door.

    Sig 226 owb I usually just slide it around on my belt until I find the right spot for sitting in the car. If im going someplace that I cant carry(work) its inbetween the seat and console.

    I carry a glock 26 in my waistband with no holster almost everywhere I go. If it is not there, it is wedged between the console and passenger seat with the handle exposed. I always figured if my car was approached, it would be on the drivers side. With my piece on the opposite side of the console, they would not see it while approaching me. I have never been a fan of having it inside the console. I think in a situation where someone was already close to your vehicle, the console would be require to much movement and time.

    I usually just leave it IWB in the 3:00 position, but it has occurred to me that this could be some what difficult to get out in a situation do to the center console. I am considering placing it in the center console during long trips for slightly more comfort and easy access.
