How do you carry it?
What's your method of carry?

Strong side hip. I'm not very fond of thigh rigs.
Crossdraw for drivers at times.

Guy's arguments against thigh rigs have had a profound impact and caused me to take a good look at how I carry a sidearm at work. I have since then went and bought a slightly dropped holster, more low hip vs thigh just to accomodate the draw when in full kit.

Strong side hip although a spare holster on the main line vest/armor is great for vehicular work and/or retaining a teammate's weapon should it be dropped.

Desert Storm, tanker holster, locked and loaded safety off.
I also like the thigh rigs for serious work. It's out of the way until I have a requirement for a handgun.

Oh God! Tanker Boy is going to have a field day with this one. Couldn't have called it a "Special Operations Green Beret Chest Mounted Weapon Transport Device"? Noooooo! Had to call it a tanker holster! DAMN! LOL

A discussion on socnet a while back. His complaints/points about most thigh rigs being a pain in the ass to run with enlightened me. Most of the rigs that I had at work were too loose irregardless of how much you cranked down the various straps.
I'm a big fan of if it looks high speed it probably is. Have yet to see a Team Sergeant looking like sloppy the junk wagon, know what I mean?
