The M7 shoulder holster sounds like an answer to your prayers if you have a dress coat or like me a Hawaiian shirt… Sure there is a huge lump but I don’t care what people think of the outline. No waistband stuck problems for me…

Changing your carry method based on what you are doing seems like too much mucking around and touching the gun to me.
Yes, some carry methods are a compromise in some situations, but so is messing with the gun, taking it in and out of different holsters, and moving said holsters to different parts of the body.

After observing lots of Cops sitting at the counter at the local Dunkins over the years, it seems that, most of the time, 4 and/or 8 o’clock works 95% of the time. YMMV, of course.

I don’t think he was suggesting moving the holster just to eat, simply being aware, prior to actually being in the situation, that each carry position has its strengths and drawbacks when sitting at a table.
The trade-off I dislike is table versus booth. Booths usually have the better “one side/back covered” wall location in most restaurants, but tables, especially with armless chairs, give you a lot more mobility and room to draw from wherever you happen to be carrying.
The key is to think about it prior.

Shoulder rig in winter, Fugly under a Hawaiin shirt in summer.
Whats to touch?

Should the pistol be placed outside or inside the soup spoon in a formal place setting? Just wondering.
I carry IWB behind the hip most of the time, and thus have practiced to the point of a second nature in terms of draw and presentation from a variety of positions and while wearing a variety of garments.
As mentioned above, thinking about the situation ahead of time is a good practice; if a particular table or seating arrangement is too disadvantageous for my liking, I look around and ask to be seated elsewhere. But wherever I’m seated, I visualize these things first: sight-lines, exits, and what it’s going to take to deploy whatever I’m carrying.
