I’m looking for a decent brand back holster for my Sig P229 For concealed carry. Also one for my S&W Shield 9mm 2.0. I want it to be own and clip on like a focus. Any suggestions?

Amazon has several Isreali Models that can be rotated 360 degrees. I would check there.

For two main reasons why I would not suggest it:

1. You don't have eyes in the back of your head to prevent a snatch from behind.

2. It not safe for you, should you fall backwards or get into a car accident.
I have both appendix and strong side. But you bring up a couple of interesting points.

I carry my P226 in an alien gear 3.5 cloak tuck. Super comfy once you dial in your retention and angle. Just be sure to lock tite the screws after.
