Just an FYI... The topic comes up a bit, and others have pointed out the dangers of SOB carry too..
I carried small of back for years in the 1990s and early 2000s...
I moved to Dallas and took a spill on a super cold day (around 2003).... Parking lot of the apartment complex we lived in.... The fire hydrant always leaked, and it froze solid that day (very cold). Parking lot was on a hill too. I was walking to the mailbox, and reading something. I slipped on the ice and fell.
For some strange reason, I carried my gun OWB on a belt holster at the 3:30 position that day, INSTEAD of SOB.
I never carried small of back again after that. I too dismissed the "nonsense" warnings of some on gun forums --- Until THAT day... If I had been carrying SOB, I would have REALLY, REALLY been hurt.
Too often in a possible confrontation, someone could possibly push you... Causing you to fall on your back/butt. I think that this would be a fair possibility, depending on the self defense scenario. Not worth the risk, IMHO...
