Where do you carry your BUG

[matty70]

I've been thinking about this b/c I just got a P3AT. It seems a lot of schools of thought subscribe to the ankle holster. For me this is the last place I would want to carry. If you are in a life threatening situation and your primary fails or you become disarmed, I just don't believe it is feasible to expect to be able to pull up your pant leg. unsnap the retention and draw without snagging in the amount of time you would need to save you life. I've thought about a pocket holster but I usually wear jeans and those types of pockets don't allow quick access either, additionally I like the idea of having ambidextrous access in case your strong hand is out of commission. Ever try getting something out of your left front pocket with your right hand? Its not easy! Now I'm thinking cross draw or weak side appendix.
Thoughts?

Left front pocket or left coat pocket. I prefer my bug to be a weak hand draw. It gives me access to a gun with either hand. Holster is an HBEleatherworks 2 Point.

The BUG carried most often an LCP which goes into a right breast pocket of a vest (it's small and light enough) or a jacket pocket. If I'm wearing a heavy enough shirt (flannel or similar) and the pocket has a button flap, it goes there.

I carry it in a ankle holster for one reason only, There's no other place I can hide it. Classifying it as a BUG is only that I cannot carry my first choice (to bulky to hide G27) to the gym. Since I am in my gym attire (yoga pants) it's very easy to pull them up and over. I've had a lot of practice unholstering it so the snap is no problem, easy unsnap / draw at same time.

Now if I was wearing jeans that would be a different story, jeans don't stretch like spandex does. Most jeans (guy jeans) do not have a flared leg (for good reason) so access is a bit more difficult. I'd have to suggest pocket carry for guys, girls it's a no go because for some reason manufacturer's of jeans like to make ladies pockets small and shallow, but they give us a flared leg most of the time.
