In my front pocket with a good holster. I like the ability to have my hand on the gun when the situation suggests it. I practice my draw while practicing my shooting.
How you carry.

Always appendix. Carry all my wheel guns in sideguard quick clips. Sideguard is the BEST custome holster make I have found for snubs. GREAT turn round time. LISTENS to what the customer wants and DELIVERS the product.

I'm in Florida so I always pocket carry my 380EZ in an Uncle Mike's model 36 IWB which is made for J frame but it fits perfectly.

My Seecamp .32 front pocket in a Jackson Leather holster.
Most of the time I ccw a Gen4 Glock 19 in a Foxx IWB and have for awhile. During the summers I’ll opt for my 442 Airweight in a Cebeci leather IWB.

For most of the last thirty years I've carried IWB at the 3:00-3:30 position with a set up similar to this one.
Current rig is a Milt Sparks VM-2 with the pictured Wilson/Beretta Centac.
I don't do guns small enough to fit in a pocket. I'm not bagging on that practice. I just have large hands and guns that small don't work for me. In the summer, I carry underneath an untucked, button front shirt. In the winter, it's typically a sweater or pull over of some kind. I have used a shoulder holster in years passed while experiencing lower back issues.
A lightening fast draw is rarely needed in a self defense situation for the average citizen. Far too many people fixate on that as some kind of performance metric. I suppose it's because it's far more easily measured than really important aspects, like critical thinking skills. However, a smooth, secure draw is important. Unfortunately, most people who choose to carry never really practice drawing their weapon, so they have no idea if their choice will work, or not.

I do very little pocket carry as I wear Wrangler jeans 95%of the time and I wear fairly tight jeans.
IWB in the summer for a Kahr K9 and in the winter a OWB Blackhawk Avenger for the Kahr. When carrying a revolver it is a K6 Kimber 2" in a Galco IWB. I'm left handed. Which helps in concealment due to most folks look for action to occur on the right side. No Kydex, too noisy on draw and reholster.

I don't have a pair of jeans or shorts that don't or wouldn't print in a front pocket carry .. I find carrying at 3:30 IWB leather holster the most comfortable !! I want to see you pocket carriers pull your weapon while seated at a booth in a restaurant In a timely manner where you wouldn't get shot doing so !! You ever wonder why plain cloths police carry on their belt and not in a pocket !!

Quite a few cops I've known carried a back-up in a pocket when working plain clothes, some have done it in uniform as well.

Having carried in pocket in uniform and ankle when plainclothes duty, I just don't carry two ways today: Pocket and AIWB right over the best toy I have.
IWB for me is at 10 o'clock and it is handy when wearing a vest or a jacket or large shirt. Quick to draw without a lot of body movement and easy to bring the weapon up in a Weaver stance.
Today my greatest fear is to be in a large box store and have some nut job come through the door with an AR and/or AK and start shooting up the place. I want to respond quietly and quickly to the threat without being obvious. Odds against carbines and rifles with small handguns is a bit dicey.
I noticed while handgun hunting deer that if I placed a crossdraw holster on the strong side, the draw was almost effortless with very little movement in the shoulder and arm, nothing to spook the deer.

For most of my life, I carried one of two ways; either a shoulder rig (a Galco rig or similar horizontal carry) or strong side, either OWB or IWB. I've never been much of a fan of appendix carry, although I have a couple of small revolvers with Barami clip grips take I can stuff down behind my front pocket if necessary.
Last October, I found this holster while at a region meeting. It's an AIWB design called the Hide-It Holster from ConcealmentConcepts.com that tucks the gun behind the front pocket, but on the opposite side. So as a right handed shooter, I carry on the left side. To draw, I lift the top of the holster with my left hand while pulling out my waistband with my right hand. As the butt of the gun clears my waistband, it's in perfect position to grasp. It's not made for quick draw, but it conceals very well. I wear it almost daily, and the cellphone case completely masks that I have a gun tucked down the front of my pants. I carry a Sig 938 Scorpion with a six round magazine in the gun and a seven round magazine in my back pocket.

Very nice looking holster.

I don't overly care for IWB holsters, even though I have a upper end one, that I sometimes use. This time of year, I wear a coat over a krydex holster and that seems to be my favorite. If, I am going to be on the road for an extended trip, I have a fanny pack that is designed for a small gun. I'm on my 50's so I can get away with that from a fashion stand point.
