How do you conceal carry?
For me, it's a leather belt slide OWB. I find them very comfortable regardless of dress and easily concealable with an untucked shirt or light jacket. I've tried some very nice IWB holsters, but I find them uncomfortable without going up a pants size. I also have a T-shirt holster which works well with my P238.
What works best for you? Body type and weather can be a factor, too, so please elaborate if you'd like. My body type is average for a guy my age, with my belly hanging over my pants. The weather where I live is hot virtually year round.

"Pocket" should have been a choice, you'll get a lot of those. I pocket carry an LCR with a Nemesis holster.

Fortunately the poll allows multiple answers.
Different guns, different methods of stowing them away, mostly one OWB and always one in the pocket.

My preference is a OWB leather holster....usually a 3-slot holster which I can wear 'cross-draw' during the winter with an open coat or under a seatbelt.
On Sundays...in church...I like the Ankle Carry option!

I think "pocket" not being a choice is skewing the poll. Do you guys think I should close this one and start over?

I carry IWB in a crossbreed which is both leather and krydex, OWB in leather and in the pocket in a pocket holster. My carry method depends on time of year and essentially what I am wearing. With my normal cargo shorts and a T shirt it's pocket carry. With jeans and a sweat shirt it's IWB. In the woods it's OWB but still concealed.

Wow, looking at the results I guess everyone has their own way of carrying. I thought there would be at least one or two methods ahead of the rest, but no, I'm surprised.

I'm not telling I use the element of surprise for my advantage  | |

In Summer time, I wear an IWB, while wearing jeans a size larger than normal, with an un-tucked shirt. This makes my full-size P-90 completely vanish. In Winter, I switch to an OWB, concealed by my jacket or coat. I have yet to see any of my off-duty co-workers successfully conceal a full sized gun with an OWB and an un-tucked shirt, but to each their own. The aforementioned system works great for me, though.
