I typically OC with Galco OWB holsters. I think they're of good quality, I like thumb break retention, and most of all I think they just look classy. I'm basically a form follows function type of guy, but when I OC I try to look tidy and clean cut.
However, there are many nice leather IWB holsters out there, and the IWB look can also be quite tidy looking (VA tuck?)
The woman in the pic looks pretty respectable to me. My questions are: All else being equal, have you received differing reactions from citizens or police when OCing OWB or IWB? Do you think non-OCers are more likely to think 'criminal' when seeing a gun IWB?
I'm not trying to make a point that OCers should carry or dress a particular way as I oppose the idea of an OC dress code. I'm just curious about your experiences.
