In my opinion, the all time best vest for this is Coronado Leather, however they are very pricey. I believe they started the concealment vest idea. Plan on paying hundreds of dollars if you go that route.

My EDC (currently P365) is in my OWB belt holster regardless what I'm doing

comfort, rapid deployment among other reasons. If OWB works for you great.

not to be a Rounders, but get your shot timer out, do some live fire presentation drills and see for yourself
vest carry isn't "rapid" compared to strong side belt holster carry

Why so arrogant? I bet a few of us could draw pretty well. Are you special in some way?

wasn't worth arguing to me.
Maybe he's put 150K+ rnds down range and can draw from concealment, put 2 in an 8" circle in 1.6 seconds (I have)

I'll just put it like this, the only way cross draw is faster than strong side belt holster, would seated in vehicle with seat belt on

“ seated on a vehicle “ And of course “your strong side holster “ is being worn without a cover garment.
