I tried IWB for a long time , but being 6' - 2" and 210 pounds , a lot of it around my waist, it was uncomfortable , even with larger pants and a good belt. There wasn't a good way to hide the grip either , dress shirt and dress jeans ....no coat is how we dress at work.
Pocket carry solved all the problems....if it's not on you when you need it , what good is it ?
So it's seven years old....we can still talk about it !

I have an old Galco tuckable for my M60 .357 that I use. I have a Tucker pocket holster on order for when I'm wearing slacks with bigger pockets.
I never could figure out utility of a pocket holster. Might be a way to get us to buy more stuff that we'll never use. I just put my Model 60 in my pocket when necessary. It don't need no stinkin' pocket holster (one of my favorite movies). However, I usually carry on my strong side in a paddle holster, the only paddle holster I own.
While this thread is 7 years old, with the summer heat upon us I think it's a good topic to re-animate. I usually carry my model 36 in the warmer weather, I'm about 50/50 IWB and OWB. Except this year my 36 is vacationing in Massachusetts getting a make over and a tightening up. I am carrying my 2 1/2" 686. in a OWB as of late.

Nope, after years of wearing a Sam Browne belt I have some Sciatica issues so either a pancake belt holster at 2:30-3:00 or pocket carry for me.

I carry a 640-3 on my strong side with a ClipDraw. Love it. No holster and I wear sweats most of the time and the ClipDraw works well with a belt too. No movement at all.
On rare occasion I carry a J frame IWB, but if I'm going to carry IWB I usually go with my Rossi 971 or Charter Bulldog.
Every day, all day, it's one of these. LOBO offset clip. I wear it at 1:00, I found I can tuck my shirt around it with a little blousing, works great.

I love to AIWB carry my LCR. Have just ordered the Side Guard quick clip. Hope I like it.

I carry my M&P BODYGUARD® 38 Crimson Trace® Integral Laser IWB at 4 o'clock in a MD-5 Sticky Holster®. Very comfortable yet secure.

I pocket carry a lot but really have taken to AIWB carry, especially after getting my Lobo holster

Tried it with my SP 101 3" in a Remora, doesn't work for me. I need to find a better way.

I used to have a three-inch S&W M36. I may get another.

I also have a 640 Pro and it's a great shooter. It handles .357s well enough, but for actual carry I default to the incredible lightness of being that the 360PD provides.
It's my primary carry and always with me. I prefer AISW carry but can ankle carry if that's all that dress allows.
If it came to actual shooting I'd like to have this in the break front Don Hulme on my hip:
For better concealment but slower draw I can use this rig:
If I'm going to carry the model 69 .44 L frame I'll probably carry the 340 Pro in a left hand holster on the weak side to counteract the weight. I have also carried the 44 in a cheap Uncle Mike fabric holster AISW!
Not leaving the semi-autos out I have a 4040PD that is nice to carry concealed. Just the same as my 3913NL or my 3914LS but more power with the .40S&W. Here's my Shorty Forty in shoulder rig, It's still half a pound lighter than the .44 (w/ 2 extra mags):

NEGATIVE Pocket Carry or Ankle Carry !
Real Life experiences has proven to me these are dangerous carry positions.

No. When I'm not in pocket carry mode, my 60 no dash is secure in a strong side high rise pancake, or a paddle that allows me to easily crossdraw when seated.

I'm surprised there isn't more Galco Summer Comforts being used. Very comfortable. The snaps are a little more involved to use, but it feels more secure to me. 4:00.
