How do you carry?

This lefty carries his G19 or G45 in a JM Custom Kydex aiwb holster most of the time. I prefer pull the dot soft loops on my holster. They are more secure for me when moving about and are still easy to take on and off. Spare mag rides on a Neomag in my front right pocket

When I'm walking my dog I usually carry owb on the hip in a kydex holster made by a friend of mine or when I'm feeling nostagic I carry my 5" 1911 in a leather pancake holster.

Around the house or working in the yard I pocket carry a 442 in a 5.11 pocket holster.
 
P365 in a Vedder Light Tuck with claw, AIWB, spare mag in a Reload Wrap in the weak hand front pocket, and a Recycled Firefighter EDC belt. You mentioned beltless carry. To me, this will never be as comfortable. A good belt makes a world of difference. The best I've found are the scuba webbing belts with infinitely adjustable buckles.

You dont even feel it, if you can feel a mini flashlight or knife on your key chain digging into you then you have really sensitive thighs, lol

or very little body fat, just realized I have plenty of padding for it to be unnoticable.

So you have that tab digging into your side all the time? Seems like a terrible idea...

I really like that little "help stay in the pocket" knob. That accentuated pocket hook looks good to help keep it in place too. Tell me where do you find such an item????? I pocket carry every day and could use that!!!
 
Sig 365 right front pocket. Something else in another pocket Always. I have carried this way legally in S.C. for 44 years. There have been occasions of 1911s and P35s Mexican carry.

Sig 365 in a @chiefjason leather and elephant Pocket Premium. Perfectly named.

Here’s the holster and gun that @BatteryOaksBilly posted about earlier.

The holster is either a chief Jason's or a
1791 owb worn just behind the center line of the body
The firearm will be a 1911 or revolver.
Spare mags or a couple of speed loaders in the pocket of my shoot me first vest I wear as a cover
 
With no cover garment, S&W 642 in a Safariland 25, front pocket, and a slow strip in the right rear pocket.

With cover garment, S&W 642 in a ChiefJason pancake holster at 3:30, Safariland Comp I in a ChiefJason pouch at 11:00, and a slow strip in the right rear pocket.

That covers 90% of the time.

For running, I have a Kel-Tec P32 that conceals very well in a ComfortTac belly band. The 642 prints too much in athletic clothing and tends to bounce a bit.

If I am hunting, fishing, or heading somewhere very remote, I upsize the revolver to a S&W 19 and a Comp II speedloader.

I used to do the AIWB thing back when I carried pistols. Foam wedges and proper belts helped. A 2” J-Frame just doesn’t have enough barrel to leverage the grip into place for proper concealment, so they have to ride very low AIWB. I’d rather just have my hand in my pocket.
 
Leather retention holster OC on gunbelt?britchesbelt at the 0300 position. Same fella made the belt, holster and mag holder that rides at 0900. Its the original Philly Social Distance standard rig.
