Can I ask you why this is more practical?
Why would you place a weapon in the one place you can't actively look or reach to defend?* It's in the middle of your back. You're not going to be able to actively cover or defend that weapon.**
IMO use a Retention holster and keep it on your side. I'm (assuming) that it would only make more alarm as you have it tucked IWB and Openly Carrying it, someone may mistake this as a guy with a gun trying to rob a store, moreso than someone Openly Carrying on his hip***. That's the more common place for "Criminals" to keep their guns.*4 Look, I get it, Open Carry website, do what you want.*5 I'm only offering my opinion on the matter, and us as people who Open Carry know what it is, but you need to think about the limited intelligence on Open Carrying in the eye of the public.
IMO IWB serves only one purpose and that is to conceal.
*: Judging by the OP's picture, I'm pretty sure he can reach behind himself and grab the pistol readily and easily. Hell, I can too, and I've OC'd that way many times myself. The only way someone isn't going to be able to reach behind themselves, is if they are of poor shape, and weigh hundreds of pounds more than they rightfully should. So there goes your reaching around theory out the window.
**: Oh? and how do you know if the OP is going to be able to defend the firearm? and isn't it poor taste to advise someone to cover their weapon when they don't have a CCDW license? So by your line of thought on that bit, I shouldn't carry my revolver, or SA/DA in my drop-leg holster because I have to reach my arm down a few inches past where my hand usually rests in a normal position, just to grab my pistol, because its not readily available on my hip, right?
***: Really? You do enjoy making wild judgements and using hidden meaning within your words to make someone afraid to do something that you don't particularly like, don't you? Here is a helpful quote, in case you haven't thought to look it up, from Holland v Commonwealth; "
If the gun is worn outside the jacket or shirt in full view, no one may question the wearer’s right so to do;" The last part, extends to you as well as me, everyone else, the gov't LEO/LEA's, and even the most simple of minded folks.
*4: See above.
*5: Darn skippy, don't be telling someone who they should, or should not carry, the OP asked a simple question, and you got on the attack wagon to nowheres-ville with your stern words of what is right and wrong, even within the pretenses of your self-serving "IMO" phrases, your wording suggests an authoritative stance, and in a fashion I've only ever heard of from, and by, Law Enforcement Officers. And taking from other posts you've made in other places, I seriously have began to question your motives on this forum.
And for the last bit; Please, do tell all of us more about what he supposedly know and think, so you can generalize and formulate a condescending opinion to someone based on how you think we all feel on something.

@OP;
You're good bro, that form of carrying isn't illegal, it's in plain and open view as long as you make sure your shirt or jacket doesn't cover it up. I carry that way out of comfort when I don't feel like carrying in a drop-leg or hip style, and have done so at numerous places, with and without LEO's looking or around and have not had any problems with it at all. That is a nice 1911 though, mind if I ask the brand and where you got it?
