The OP asked a question of those who pocket carry but it seems some others have to chime in about why pocket carry is wrong.

Others describe how they carry and that method in no way is germane to the question in the OP.

What does a law enforcement officer’s method have to do with pocket carry unless he also pocket carries?

If you do not pocket carry, how does the question apply to you?

Where did the OP ask for recommendations?

Where in the OP was there an instruction to jump those who pocket carry with admonitions to get training?

And, to the OP, smince, I don’t see in your OP a statement that, “After you tell me you pocket carry, I’m going to then chastise you for so doing.”

Here are the questions repeated:
1. Are you able to access your weapon with your off-hand if you needed to?
2. How do you do it?
3. Have you even thought about it?
4. Do you even care?

Regardless of the validity of the off-topic comments, there is more to staying on topic than just “it has to be gun related”.
