Appendix Carry would seem to confer a lot of the pocket advantages, it's very close to your hand. I tried it various ways as I like an IWB, can carry more weight - or same weight but feels less (I guess because IWB is pressing gun against your body so full weight of gun is not hanging down) than does a pocket-carry - least for me.

But I can't get the Appendix mode comfortable any way I tried so I gave up, returned to behind hip IWB. The pocket-c. feels too heavy after a bit, (Colt Detective is the snub - and I LOVE it, don't want a titanium smith or anything like that)
