1. what is your BUG carry weapon?
2. where do you carry it?

most guys on here carry their primary on their strong side hip. but you guys with a backup....where do you carry it?

I've been experimenting myself but wanted some other ideas. so far, my primary on my right hip IWB and my bug in SOB or left hip OWB has been working.

BUG, either S&W J-frame or Ruger LCP, carried in front left pocket (opposite my strong-side belt gun) or very rarely in an ankle holster.

Close to the same as Austin just said. I carry a S&W 340PD in my left pocket or on occasions my Ruger LCP in the left pocket.
As you stated I am one that carry's on my right side.

i see alot of guys carrying in front pocket. ive tried it and even with my kel tec, its just too restrictive.

with my revolver.....no way. I'd be walking funny.
guess my legs are too big. or i need some MC Hammer pants

LCP in a front pocket with a pocket holster...

• weak side, if I'm carrying the main gun IWB on strong-side hip or under the weak arm in a Kangaroo
  strong side, if it's a deep concealment day and it's not just a BUG but the only gun

Highlighting two important points of tornado's post above. Agree with and utilize both.

As for front pocket carry, it's likely either 1) your pockets are too small - find a tailor to lengthen them or buy pants with deeper pockets OR 2) your pants are too tight - you could lose weight, but it's easier to do what I did - buy bigger pants

I guess a third option is if you're of short stature perhaps your pants pockets are also shorter relative to your size/height and a snub-nose revolver won't fit?

S&W 642 in right front pocket. It stays there 100% of the time.
Occasionally I'll only carry that. Most times it's a BUG while the XD40 is IWB.

9mm J-frame, Seacamp 32 or KT P 11 in the left front pocket.

Depending on what I wear, my 5.11 shorts my primary, XD9SC front pocket. But long pants, Wrangler jeans, S&W642 or my Beretta Tomcat front right pocket. Selling Tomcat now and use the 642 or may get something else. Works fine.

Depends on pants and which BUG

Primary is at 3:00 (Usually a Glock 26, sometimes a 19)

If BUG is:
1) Seecamp in front jeans pocket, if I carry second Seecamp, it's IWB in nylon
2) PF9 and/or PT709 in cargo shorts square side flap pockets
3) Glock 26 either crossdraw or SOB (If Glock 19 is at 3:00)
4) DB380 either crossdraw or SOB
5) AMT Backup .380, depends on my mood, IWB anywhere in any pants/jeans or cargo pants pocket
6) NAA Guardian .380 was SOB, but I quit carrying it.
7) Walther PPK/S was SOB, but I quit carrying it.

Now on Sundays, when I also carry my Safepacker, add the PT92 and a misc. .380 as BUGS too in addition to any of the above I suppose.

I sold all my tiny guns I used to wear under a ballcap etc back when I'd conceal 25 or so like the shirtpocket .38 derringers, NAA .22s etc. and misc guns in ankle holsters worn on arms (armpit mode) or belly bands

All "pocket carry" guns are in pocket holsters. Actually, all guns I carry are holstered.

BUG is a Ruger LCP, carried either:

Front right pocket (Uncle Mike's pocket holster)
In a 5.11 Holster Shirt on the left side (like a right-handed shoulder holster)

My main carry is a Hi-Power at 3:00 (OWB)

On the occasion that I'm walking around at home in my unmentionables, the LCP gets tucked in the waistband (including the pocket holster) with the grip sticking out at about 4:30.

I'm left handed, so I carry my BUG in a fold of fat under my right love handle. Sometimes I forget it's there and find it in the shower a week later.

MC Hammer pants

Na. Just get some Wrangler cargo pants.

Overall I prefer snubbies, but for various reasons I have been carrying a P-3AT in front left pants pocket. Snubbie goes in same place when I carry it.
