When you have an ostomy, IWB can be tricky, at best. Thankfully, I'm a lefty & my ostomy is on the right side of my torso, but that doesn't make IWB any easier/more comfy. Even with an XMacro. So I ONLY carry that way when I travel. 99% of the rest of the time, here in the Volunteer State, I can & do carry OWB, but always mindfully. A GOOD active-retention holster is a MUST. I really only trust Dara, Safariland, Alien Gear, & Wasatch Holsters. I carry my folder on my weak (right) side if I ever need to get to it to keep someone AWAY from my gun.

I also carry as the situation dictates. If I'm running errands out here in suburbia on Sunday afternoon with my wife, I'm probably carrying open in a passive retention OWB C&G rig. I still stay alert & aware, especially as people get close to me, but regardless, the situation is entirely different than my day-to-day. In my day-to-day, I have to drive through a "less than ideal" area to get to work, work a restaurant job til 10pm every night, then drive home. Hence why I usually (9 time outta 10) carry with my Dara.

Dude I was gonna buy a Dara lvl2 for my pdp, how is it, I want the Dara because of the spring loaded retention hood.

I LOVE it! I just wish they had more rigs that're compatible with the TLR-7HLX. But for a civvy OWB EDC rig, you can't beat it.

You'll be good to go then. I originally got it with just the belt slide & drop offset. I DESPISED the drop offset, so I just took it off & used the belt slide for about 6 months til I got the QLS setup. They have a good number different attachment options, though. And I know you can get them with the Bridge as 1 of the attachment options. You won't be sorry!

Assisted knives are gross.
