Best way to Carry your Pistol?

[CementFinisher]

blade tech is a good budget option. i have been in the manufacturing site seen them male them talked to plant manager have worn their holsters and know people with them. I personally am not a fan. i would not call them quality kydex. fit and finish is average, design leaves much to be desired. i have 12 holsters. the most comfortable is my crossbreed, it is ugly as all sin. My K&D Pocket Defender Deluxe is comfortable and conceals great as is the discontinued maverick. Aker holsters FlatSider Patriot XR20 is good, kinda big lets the grip stick out a bit on full size guns.  Tucker gun leather Silent Thunder is awesome, doesn't mar my nicer guns. and for local you cant go wrong with Kramer holsters. only downfall to any i listed is there are wait times.

I used to use a Galco belly band.  Sucks for anything larger than a Glock 27.  I will be switching to the the Crossbreed Supertuck can't decide if I should get it for the 1911 or the Glock 23 though.  My wife likes the bellyband, but she has a 27.  Like everyone else says, dont ever put it in a purse.  People steal purses, or they get set down, or left in the car, or carry a purse might not be practical in a given situation like going on a morning run.

I use the Galco King Tuk (IWB) daily.

I have tried the Crossbreed, the MTAC Monotour, and the Milt Sparks VMII (work of art)(the Crossbreed,MTAC King Tuk and Milt Sparks VMII were compared side to side) and many many others.
The King Tuk was the most comfortable of all of the IWB holsters for my body, and better quality then the other two Hybrids (Crossbreed and MTAC) compared side to side. A buddy of mine doing the same test prefers the Crossbreed for comfort but agreed the King Tuk was constructed allot better.

I use a BlackHawk Serpa II, (2 of them) paddle and belt configuration when in the woods.

I am looking for a good OWB option, if any of you have good results with OWB concealment holsters I would love to hear about them.

Best way to carry? Loaded to the gills with HPs.

   On my hip with 1 round already chambered and ready just in case.

I forgot to add
You really need to go try a bunch of the available holster types, and various carry positions. For me carrying at the 3-5 o'clock position (IWB) is the most comfortable unless I am carrying offhand, then the 10 o'clock position is more comfortable. How you carry will determine how you dress as well. If you decide to carry (IWB) you will need to buy your pants a size bigger then you normally wear. Either way you will need a very good belt designed for carrying. Most off the shelf belts will not hold up to carrying, a really good (stiff) Instructors belt  or a leather belt designed for carry will help distribute the weight well.

You may also need a couple different holster types depending on what you are doing and what you are wearing.

Very good advice Alchase.  I carry on my side all the time and only where thick heavy leather belts except out in the woods and then its leg holster.  The same type of belts I wore as an L.E.O. under my duty belt.

I carry my 1911, strong side hip, just behind the hip bone. I can carry concealed with just a t-shirt. I use a Galco IWB leather holster and it works good. I get some flak from some friends and relatives for carrying with one in the chamber, and the hammer back, but it's no good with out one in the pipe. Besides, I have been carrying that way for about 15 years.

same spot for me. I wear a galco summer comfort iwb.

you need a couple holsters in my opinion. Kind of depends on what your doing at the moment. Going out to dinner, hanging out in the yard. Check this site out for holsters. They have good stuff.

In your hand!!

Seriously though, I carry mine strong side, just over my right rear pants pocket in a Fobus Paddle 14+1 set in ready/safe safety postion

Crossbreed Mini Tuck is a good option for the LCR. 

I would avoid any kind of small of back holster.  Can't draw easily if you get knocked down, plus that hard hunk of metal and plastic would do a number on your lower back if you were to fall directly on it.

Looking at the Ruger LCR 357 as something to carry while bow hunting (light)
Guy at Wades says it surprisingly stays on track.. ie. not as much muzzle jump as would be expected from a small/lightweight gun.

Comments?     Figure 357 would work well against wolves... Grizzly  hope never have to find out.

[CementFinisher]

good for everthing in Continental united states except all bear

[Johnb317]

I figure that a couple 357's placed are better than one wild 44 or bigger... more worried about wolves.   On a side note I think bear spray might be a better deterent when it comes to bears.

Want to know if anyone has experience with the Ruger 357 LCR as far as accuracy?
