Looks Like IWB wins hands down, would be interested to extend the survey to back up weapons. Ankle, pocket, arm pit, coat pocket etc.

Also we should include Knives, I have the emmerson commander, in my left pocket as I shoot with my right hand.

I have carried SOB, in fact I did quite a lot of practice draws from a Galco SOB holster. I like this method of carry but you can not sit in you car or anywhere for that matter. Also its hard to see if your shirt has lifted and you are exposing your gun. Great concealment though, however there is a lot of shirt to uncover and hold out of the way for what becomes a long draw.

My ankle holster is Uncle Mikes, it holds my Tom Cat quite well, I hope I never have to use it though, I mean you have to get down on one knee, lift your trouser, peel off the velcro strap, and lupp out a pee shooter. I guess if I need my back up I am already in a lot of trouble. Need to practice my ankle draw a lot more than I do.

IWB, strong side. Very concealable and I love the fact that I can tuck my shirt in with my CTAC

Concealed carry is HK USP Compact .40 in a CompTac CTAC holster IWB. No CCW permit yet, but that is actually the only way I plan on carrying when I am able.

IWB with a CTAC works GREAT around the house. My wife has never noticed or known... I prefer it that way. Can't comment about outside the house as I don't yet have a CCW.

Am I the only one to pocket carry? I like IWB but have found that pocket carry of my S&W 642/442 in a desaints nemisis is both Comfortable and completely concealable. Also I've gained a couple ov lbs. and IWB is not as Comfortable as it used to be.

In the winter I have also OWB carried my Glock 19 ina Bianchi 75000 paddle holster...very Comfortable. However I got a Glock 26 for IWB.

I sometimes pocket carry with my Colt .380. Works well, especially in shorts.

Kahr PM9 in a pocket holster. Most comfortible for me. If I need to carry my Warthog, then it is IWB.

I have a home made leather pocket holster for my PM9 velcroed to a sheet of leather pad, adjustable depending on the pocket config for easy and quick presentation when needed.

IWB

Fanny Pack

Holster Shirt

Ankle

In that order. I don't list OWB because that won't realistically work for me as a method of concealed carry.
