This might not apply depending on how long the gun is ,But I am left handed and use a right handed inside the waist soft uncle mikes ( almost velvelty, is that a word ......LOL) but I carry it towards the left side of the small of my back for a left handed draw.For my Kimber I just picked up I think one of the best side holsters I have ever had.It is left handed designed to carry condition one ( the thumb break snap covers the safety and fits in between the hammer and striker).It has a small plastic piece the grip the trigger loop and only secures the first 1 1/2 inch of the barrel.Looks kinda like some type of quick draw rig.It comes out really smooth and quite fast.Most of my defensive shooting practice is at 5,7,12,and 15 feet.I don't aim I just get it out point and pull twice on a man size target.You would be surprised how good you will get and how quickly you will learn.I can put 2 in ( or near ) center mass all day this way.When it comes down to nut cuttin' you don't have time to comb your hair, fix your tie, etc.You gotta get into action fast and accurate.JMHO
