Im new too ccw and trying to see whats for me and whats not.
I really want a Sig P238,but im not sure id ever carry it.With ammo the way it is it would never be a range gun past use for practice and break-in.
Im sure there is a need for a small gun that ill need to carry as my main,say if im in shorts at the beach or running out of the house fast and don't have the time to strap up.
So for that reason i will eventually buy the small gun.
I carry a 5" 1911 and a micro .45 as my mains and both IWB.
That leaves ankle carry mostly as i wont pocket carry in my pants as ive said elsewhere i wear tight-ish jeans and don't have room.
Belly band would be too hot as i wear a wife beater under my T-shirts already so my mains stay off my skin.I don't like fanny packs or man purses,as im a manly man in my tight jeans. :) sorry i had to throw that in.Smart carry wouldn't work for me and those jeans either.

Im just asking about you and your BUG,as to where you carry it if you do?
Or even a suggestion on how i could carry a BUG besides the issues ive listed.
Anyone necklace carry? Ive carried a small knife in a kydex holster on my neck so im kinda used to that.
I have a lot on my belt,but it could be possible to add a small case of some sort to fit one of these small guns in.But should a BUG be so close physically to a main?
 
when and if i carry my smaller bug i do the same thing that works for my bigger guns.I carry mine owb in a model 5 black widow bianchi holster,and yes i sometimes wear wife beater shirts but i get them one size larger so they hang alittle loose.

I carry in the front pocket with uncle mikes pocket holster. I carried in my back pocket as a bug to my full size. My work doesn't permit me to carry my regular full size gun so it became my bug became my main carry. Keltec also makes a clip much like the clip on a folding pocket knife. It works pretty well.
 
Buying that many new undershirts could get expensive id think.
I have para cord and can make my own kydex holsters to fit most of my needs.

Can you explain that a bit better? CMA isnt on google.
 
My pants are too tight for pocket carry,and being 250 lbs sitting on a gun will either break it or hurt my rear.
But i could take it out as i get in my car,and replace it when i get out.Thats not too bad an idea.The rear pockets are easier to reach since i have my main carried IWB and other stuff also blocks good access to front pockets.
 
I think it is an acronym
Im pretty sure it is also,but what i dont know.i first guessed "Center Mass Appendix" but that dont sound right.

I have no issues with the LCR,i just like the Sig 238 better.
 
P32/Geco ball in an Uncle Mike's pocket holster, back pocket, always.

Hasn't bothered me or the gun at all for many years and I'm 6'4" and 250 lbs.
 
I carry mine in a cargo pocket with a Desantis Superfly Holster

I've only carried a BuG a couple of times.

When I did, it was a 642 in weak hand front pocket, backing up my strong side IWB primary.

If I were a manly-man in tight jeans:D, I would look into an NAA mini or KelTec P3AT/P32, or maybe even a .22 Raven/Jennings/Lorcin/whatever. Pocket holster, back pocket, weak side. I wouldn't carry the .22 Lorcin chambered, though.

Same here had my p32 in my back pocket for about 4 years with out a problem and I'm also 250#.
 
I just got this Galco belly Band Holster. I'm going to try it in Florida in two weeks. It seems pretty comfortable so far. Even when seated.

Any other time, I just use a IWB holster for my main, and a ankle for my BUG.
