I prefer to carry IWB. I finally found a sturdy belt. I wanted to carry my Sig 1911 ultra compact at the 1500 but apparently my capris were too high in the waist. Even though my capris came an inch or so below my navel, the grip of the gun rubbed on my ribs too much. I had it in a Don Hume leather holster.
I switched to my SP101. Since I had only planned on purse carrying it, I just had a cheap Uncle Mikes soft holster with me for it. It carried well overall but still rode higher than I would have liked and was rubbing on my ribs by the time I made it to the car after the show.
At the 1500 I bought a cheap Uncle Mikes shoulder holster for the SP101. I figured I would see if I like the concept before I spend a lot of money on a higher quality leather one. Has anyone tried a shoulder holster for their J frame? Any pointers?
