How does it feel to carry tucked in at the small of the back while driving? It looks uncomfortable to me but there aren't many safer but discrete places to carry.

Small of the back carry is generally frowned upon, the theory being if you fall and land hard on a gun at the base of your spine, it could be bad.

I've also heard that the shoulder holsters aren't great, but I can't remember why.

IWB seems to work really well and is usually very comfy, even with a full size 1911, but a double stack 9 plastic gun was less comfy to me than a full size 1911 which was surprising.
