Default IWB - what position?

As I am a newbie and fiinding the best fit/accessibility, I was wondering what most do with IWB carry.
Appendix carry?
FBI cant? (strong side back hip?)
Weakside cross?

Thanks

3:30 maybe 4 for me. VMII which has forward cant. With quality belt "beltman" snugged tight it pulls nicely into your body.

Milt Sparks VMII for Glock 27 and Kimber Ultra CDPII 3:30-4:00. Farther forward if I am planning to drive more.

I got a flue shot today with wife and 3 young kids, lowered the button down long sleeve shirt to expose arm and shoulder without nurse (or kids) noticing CDP. Kind of related to the appendix?

Milt Sparks VM2 with full size 1911A1, if i wear it pretty much at 3:00 (under the armpit!) it hides better, but not as comfortable, when it slides around towards the 4 or 5:00 position, the butt starts showing, but it is much more comfortable.

Now that winter is (almost) here, wearing a coat or light jacket makes it a lot easier to carry.

80% of the time . . . 2:30 to 3:30
1:00 if I expect to be on my feet most of the time
SOB when the other two methods are not practical, have gotten used to driving using this method.
