Behind the back position

[decalguy]

What is the general feeling on which direction an iwb holster should point behind the back? I just read an article that said palm out is wrong. I’m looking for an iwb holster for a bersa thunder 380

it is a personal choice... as with any form of carry the more concealed , the slower / more difficult the draw..
I sometimes carry IWB behind the right hip in a left hand holster .. ( palm out) because it sits flatter to my body if I am wearing formal clothing..
It is slower to draw..
if I am fully behind the back , i would use a SOB holster.. which draws with palm in..

Most girls I’ve dated were rather into the behind the back position. They didn’t care, palms in, palms out.

You’ll have a hard time finding many people here that advocate for carrying SOB.

Never carry that way. Right side about 2 O'clock.
Never found IWB in back to be comfortable or a smart way to carry.

I run this SOB, palm in with an M&P 45C. Palm in addresses the palm out cross over your leg that everyone loses their mind over. "Oh you want my wallet? Here, let me get it for you..."

Like carrying a revolver, there's a small set of circumstances it makes sense. Otherwise go with convention.

Either way seems awkward and slow to me. And you're either sweeping yourself or everyone else coming up on target.

I never carry SOB. I don't like the possibility of my fall, and subsequently my spine, being broken by my gun if I fall on my back. I'll also say that the draw stroke is a bit odd for me.

That said: if it works for you and you have a well thought out reason; do what you do.

I've tried SOB in the past. Not very comfortable when sitting/driving and hard to access in those positions

SOB Palm in would be impossible for me to draw and the gun would have to be upside down. Besides, you can't see if you've exposed your weapon or if you're printing. 4 o'clock usually for me.
