Back holsters are not nice - they are dangerous. Never, ever wear your gun on your back or behind the hip. This is not a comfort issue. I’m surprised anyone who has been around guns would say that it is acceptable when every expert will say that it is not.

Many hip holsters can also be a problem when driving. More specifically, they are a problem when drawing your weapon while seated in a vehicle. Not so good if you are concerned with car-jacking.

Shoulder holsters can be good, but only if you use the right drawing technique with extensive training. Otherwise you can easily kill someone behind or beside you or blow off your arm.

Define “expert”.

If they were that dangerous then people wouldn't use them.

Lighten up Francis.
