Carried in the hollow, yes even most big guys have a slight hollow behind their hip, a 1911 or N frame rides comfortably and is quickly acquired. guys with rotator cuff or other shoulder injuries tend to do better with slightly in front of the hip forward rake strong side. Skinny guys and "most gals" can carry & draw this way comfortably as well. Shoulder rigs are very cool, but so many folks struggle with them. ken Knull's City Slicker is the only shoulder rig I have been able to wear all day for weeks on end with no discomfort and I can draw with either hand. Made for 2" J's and simular it is a practical shoulder holster.
