No Sir,
I live in Northern California. Its easier to carry marijuana than a handgun here. I was asking because I did not know. My guns leave the house to go to the range and I have not had to deal with the logistics of daily carry. Drawing strong side hip from a seated position seemed awkward to me. I see your point though. thank you for the insight.

The only time that I carry is when I'm at the range. My 92FS rides in an M-12 holster that is attached to an LC-2 equipment belt. Nothing high speed here.

Strong side pocket, right above clip knife.
http://www.naaminis.com/magnum.html
(Scroll down, holster grip)
For the big gun (1911 chambered for 10mm), it depends on how much time will be spent driving, duration away from base camp, climate, choice of clothing, etc.
-IWB strong side/appendix
-Thunderwear/smartcarry
-Kydex strong side hip with jacket or 5.11 vest
-Would get out shoulder holster if I still rode motorcycles (can't think of any other reason to ever try shoulder holsters again  )

Do you hit the individual with that "gun" to cause damage?

I too think that there is no single solution for a carry system. Thunderwear works great in some situations but I defy you to draw seated in your car. Leather Jackets with inside pocket/holster for motorcycle works well, shoulder holster makes me cringe. A simple 442, 360, or 340 Centennial carried in your pocket works well too. Of course in a car anything sucks and is why a lot of gluys place it in a secure accessible location in the car.
Another I like is the derringer in a "wallet", "Oh yes, here is my wallet, don't hurt me".
Just my 2 cents and I am late to the party here as I missed this some time ago.
Edited to add, stirring s**t up again Doc?

Only carry when I am hunting pigs, nowadays. Right hip, high and a little back...It's a Ruger .357 mag SS Security Six w/4"barrel. it's a little bulky so I like to keep it back out of the way.

Well, the gun is question is a 460 S&W with an 8 3/4 barrel weighing in at 5 + pounds. I use a little Radio Flyer red wagon to haul it around in except sometimes I use a Galco Kodiak half shoulder harness half cross draw harness. It is a strange contraption but it keeps it out of the way of your back pack and away from your rifle stock.

I must be really weird...
My vote went out before I read any posts to remain unswayed. I've a IWB Kydex cross draw for my Walther P99QA. Carries fine allows me the ease of access and I don't have to "shift it around to drive. No so uncomfortable to drive with, and I practice drawing from the vehicle. I am willing to try other types but presently I practiced with this.

Prefer the big one, but figure a pop gun point-blank at the snot locker is better than no gun at all.
Can't always carry the big one.

Depends o n what I'm carrying. I've used ankle holsters for BU guns,Boot Holsters, IWB, pancakes, Kydex and just about everything else. I could never get used to a shoulder holster. No wonder women don't like bras.
Nowadays I carry a 1911 in a crossdraw or a .380 strongside in holsters I made myself.

Too funny
At a local gun shop, I over heard a kid, (19 yrs.), ask the clerk if he could purchase an ankle holster for a Desert Eagle .50 cal.
I saw three near me blow coffee out their noses.
