Reality is unless you’re wearing a very widely spaced 3 o’clock OWB holster you’re gonna break that rule with a holstered firearm constantly
o_O Really! Says who? I've been using handguns for more than a half century, and I truly can't say that. Appendix carry? Yes, every time you sit down you're going to cover yourself, but not from 3:00 to 5:00 o'clock for righties, or 9:00 to 7:00 for lefties.

Want to know three things that really annoy me? The first is whenever someone wearing a horizontal rig starts to roughhouse, or fool around at the club. (Really 'rings my chimes'.) The second is whenever someone wearing a horizontal rig stands with his back to me as on a flight of stairs, or else in front of me inside of an elevator. The third thing that annoys me is holstering, especially when things might be a little tense and all sorts of things can go wrong!

The 2nd Basic Rule Of Firearm Safety clearly states, "Never allow the muzzle to, even so much as, sweep across ANYTHING you are unwilling to see destroyed." (Including yourself, as well.) ;)

Pay attention to how you walk, how you sit and what you do when you bend. Guarantee at some point you sweep a leg or foot under at 3 to 5. What about if you happen to lay down for a bit and there’s someone around, or walking up stairs and people are below you. Even holstering, a lot of folks for IWB end up canting the barrel inwards as they do and sweep their lower extremities or even spine with a 4-5 o’clock.

Those rules are, in my opinion, intended for guns outside of a proper holster.

And the P220. The best damn handgun that Crockett ever carried.
Not gonna get disagreement from me there. Other than that image, I don’t recall the 220 but it’s a shame he switched away from it.
 
Anyone use and like these? Found it on ebay for $30 and shoemaker replaced elastic straps. I have this and another upside down, a Cobra make. I have a little truoble adjusting them so they are worn a bit infront of the arm pit instead of under. View attachment 985103
I have 1 for my Colt detective special. Very nice holster, but I sold my Colt.
 
I’ve got a couple old safariland #19s that came in a trade one for a j frame and another for my 2.5” m19 they are a cool one holster and really comfortable and quick to draw from with either hand but the elastic is too old and worn out for them to be practical for actual carry aside from the fact that the gun is pointed at you.
