I've tried all methods.
4 o'clock resulted in a slower draw and printing when bending over. It was also impossible to draw while sitting in a car and uncomfortable.
3 o'clock resulted in pain in my hip bone.
12 and 1 o'clock resulted in maximum concealment but pain when sitting down.
2 o'clock is the sweet spot. It's off my hip bone. It isn't digging into my stomach when sitting. When I bend down, it doesn't print. It's always in front of me to monitor printing and to prevent someone sneaking up on me while waiting in line. It's quick to draw. It doesn't point the muzzle at my junk or leg. It's perfect.

Hope you ordered the "claw" attachment. It makes a world of difference with printing.

I did. Printing isn’t my main concern. I’m usually by myself or in a vehicle. I was worried about it the first few times I carried but then I realized 99% of people are oblivious. Mostly I’m just looking for something that makes me actually take it with me.
I have to agree. On my body size carrying at 2 seems to work really well. I carry here probably 75% of time and the other 25% I'm at 3.

So since I’m lefty it would be 10:00 .
How much cant when carrying at 2 or 10?
When I carry at 2 I cant a little. It works well the barrel points away from my leg and the grip doesn't stick out as much. It also positions my pistol in a way I can easily bend or sit without having to reposition. There's a perfect spot that I can get that almost fits into a natural pocket on my hip/pelvis and it helps support the holster and secure it in place.
I really also like it's super easy to be able to feel or very easily see if I'm still positioned correctly and not exposed.
I used to carry at 3 and @Willjr75 Was always mentining 2o'clock so I tried it and it works good for me most of the time Its my preferred spot.

I used to do 3 for a while but started getting pain in my hip bone from the constant pressure.

Ok waiting for the new holster, then gonna measure for the new belt.

Probably personal preference, but the more cant I gave it the more comfortable it became and also the butt will completely disappear on you even while bending over.
As you can see in this pic, I am sitting down. The butt of the gun does not hit anything I'm leaning back on, and the end of the barrel is just above my front pocket so while sitting the barrel is not even poking me.
I'm using an alien gear hoster with 2 widely spaced clips, not sure if it would be possible to get and hold this position with a small single clip holster.

Damn that’s high. Maybe I need to switch it up. Mine is as low as can be.
It's very comfy
Here's standing. No problem with concealment under a shirt, and this is a double stack.
