Do you carry it loose in your shirt or pants pocket?  OR do you use a holster?

Ankle holster?
Wallet holster?
Pocket holster?
Suspender holster?
Camera / Cell phone (holster) case?

Anybody use those waterproof boxes for your wallet at the beach?

Ziplock bag in your pocket???

Pocket holster when concealed, Hunter leather derringer holster for open carry.

Mainly pocket holsters for Black Widow 22 Mag and the 22 LR Mini when wearing untucked shirts. When wearing tucked shirts, I carry the 22 LR Mini on my belt in a small camera case.

front pocket in a holster and all by itself.
I would not recommend anyone carrying a firearm in a pocket without a holster or with other items.
Too big of a risk of accidental discharges or the possibility of something getting in your way as you reach for the pistol.

Is that a Pug grip pulled over your wood grips?

22LR mini in ankle holster, pretty much every day. Others, different day, different deals. Depends on how I am dressed, what I am doing, and how I feel.

Im sorta leaning towards at a pocket holster, to be "worn" with the flat side out in my left back pocket (with my real wallet in my right rear pocket.

What are your opinions on smooth VS rough side out?

To Red14: The grip in the picture is a modified Magnum Frame slip on grip on the bare metal, not over wood ones. NAA now offers a rubber slip on grip to fit the LR Mini.

I carry a 22lr with the folding grip holster, I removed the side clip on it so I can carry it  loose in the bottom of my pocket.
You'll find a lot of good suggestion from this forum, for there's many ways to carry them, and if you choose one that doesn't work,  you can always do something different... good Luck...  :)

Jeans watch pocket.  No holster.

I use a RKBA pocket holster rough side out. Would recommend smooth side out though.
Also use CC leather belt holsters I make and also Condor  nylon pouches, I think the numbers are a 26 and 45.

Welcome and good luck.

Watch pocket of jeans or an iwb holster I found on amazon for 10 or 15 bucks a while back.  Has a reversible clip for left or right hand use.

RKBA pocket holster usually in right back pocket. Smooth side out; looks like a wallet in my pocket and very easily pulled out with a good pocket holster.

Any good pocket holster should do. I just prefer a custom job by RKBA or the Kid.

I currently carry my pug in the right rear pocket which is my strong side. I had to switch my wallet to my left which is a little odd, but it's a non negotiable. I keep it in a Absaroka kid holseter, which is a nice holster but there is about an inch of leather below the barrel so it sits to high. I always carried a hanky in the past so I hide the little bit of exposed grip behind that until my Ragsdale Wallet holster comes. It carries well and I don't even notice it's there, even if I sit on it.

I much prefer the Kids holster there. I would just have him make one with the extra removed.

I like the right front pocket with the folding grip, both 22 and 22mag.  No chance of going off,  and you can have your hand on it without anyone  knowing it.

Poor CWlongshot. Making descions is hard work.

I carry mine like any nerd would carry an extea pair of eyeglasses. Nobody looks twice at an eyeglass case on your belt.

BW is usually in a folding grip IWB right hip.  Run-to-the-store carry is my Shorty in a leather neck holster, and summer carry is Lost River kydex neck holster for the Shorty to withstand sweat better.  I just discovered my new Mag Companion fits nicely in my BW Lost River holster, so that will be my new tramping-in-the-woods, anti-rodent in the backyard carry.

I always do the holster grips in my front pockets, pants on guns on.
Have been thinking of the IWB from NAA for my 6" Earl(yea, it'll stick out the bottom)      Feed Back PLEASE.
And will have to have something made for the Scoped Mini Master

Kentucky,
   Are you enjoying the show or is that a pistol in your pocket?  ;)
   Got to see a closeup of the scoped MiniMaster!! How did you mount it? I want to put a mini red dot sight on mine. P.M. me with details or post some close pix here.
Thanks, Mike

A buddy mounted a rail for me, here is a closer "Shot"
This carries in a shoulder bag w/other "Stuff" that won't fit in my pocket.

I got to say, you do think outside the box.  :)

My pocket Mini's are VERY good for playing golf @ 10-20 feet :), that needs to be stretched to 25 yds ;D

I think that was Mae West's old line:  Are you carrying a gun or are you just happy to see me? :)

I have a couple of pocket holsters that I purchased from NAA online years ago that work fine. Have also carried front pocket without a holster, in an eyeglass case, in a NAA ankle holster, in a cell phone case, in a knife case, and in a business card case.

Right now I carry my Black widow in the cell phone pocket built into my 5.11 pants for work. And in a small pocket holster with jeans which I only wear on off days.
