I went with a Galco Jackass rig (horizontal). I'm fairly thick (I wear a 48 long), and the horizontal rig makes the gun easier to reach and it lies flat along my ribcage. I carry like Dwight, with the muzzle up at about 30 degrees. If you're real slim, I suspect a vertical holster might suit you better, but either can be adjusted for cant and reach to some degree. Best bet is to go to a stocking dealer and try both. Good luck.
