I'm sorry about not pointing out my intent for posting this. Yes, according to what I have learned, in Oklahoma, the firearm must be secured in a compatible holster. I'm paraphrasing of course...... I am all for and do OC myself, but I do it in accordance with the law. End of rant. Thanks

Interstingly most holsters are designed to some how be either belt or shoulder compatible though there are some odd holsters out there the majority of commercial holsters are designed to be worn as such.
There are thigh holsters and though they do hang lower then traditional holsters the majority of them are designed to be anchored to a belt on the waist.
As far as O.C. I O.C. at work so much that by the time I am off work I really dont want to O.C. Nothing is wrong with it and I fully support it but its just not something I care for. Possibly from nearly 80 hours a week of wearing a duty rig and its starting to take its toll on me. (Again this is not a good comparison since duty rigs are significantly heavier then simply wearing a firearm in a holster)
Anyway to prove your partially correct here is the exert of exactly how you should carry.
