Not sure if you're military or police. I'm a SWAT officer on a mid-sized midwestern US police department. We wear ours on our belts. Our vests are heavy plate/tactical equipment carriers and we obviously have our primarys hanging in front, so over the shoulder would interfere. A lot of our guys (and this seems to be unique to our department, as we train with other citys and they don't do it) have their gas masks hanging in front of their groin. Before you dismiss this and laugh at it, it does make some sort of sense. First, in order to do this you have to have a separate belt for the gas mask since, which we do, and it just clips over our duty belt. Hanging it in front serves multiple purposes: 1.) You won't get caught up going through a tight space such as entryway, 2.) It is easily accessible, and 3.) It adds another layer, albeit minimal, of protection--it's not gonna stop a bullet but may deflect blunt object strikes. I've moved my gas mask around a few times and have found both in training and on callouts (where you really find out if the placement of your gear is working) that having it in front is the best.
Hope this helps.
