I’ve been using cross draw & shoulder holsters since I’m in the car a lot.
Don’t like appendix carry—with my pistol pointed right at my femoral artery ... and wedding tackle.
And OWB hip carry is awkward when you are strapped into the seat, even if open.
(Imp. to practice drawing for muscle memory.)

A wise choice. My Bianchi no5 owb rides in just the right place for an easy draw even when driving. Seat belt is well clear of it, and I always carry in condition one.

* I’ve tried all manner of carry from shoulder to ankle.

* Pretty much settled on OWB strong side hip with a back-up in the off-hand front pocket.

* I don’t do a shoulder holster while driving because of injuries. I can, but the seat belt gets in the way. Reaching over is hard, awkward, and painful.

* When I wear IWB/SOB or OWB hip in a vehicle, I place the pistol in the console and holster it when I get out of the vehicle. Very handy.
