Depends on the gun/clothes I am using.

Now that it is winter, I usually carry in a shoulder holster with the USPc.

During warmer months, I'll carry IWB in front of my right hip if I am not going to be sitting down a lot, on the hip if I will be seated where there are open back chairs, and SOB if it is a booth restaurant.

I carry OWB while fishing, hunting, and most any other outdoors activity where I'm out in the boonies and also while driving (without frequent stops).

My little 380 has a SOB/back of hip holster, so that's how I carry it.

I have twice as many holsters as handguns, and 4 of the 6 are for the USPc, so there are a lot of options.
 
Right rear pocket. My "always" gun is a Kel-Tec P-32 with pocket-slipper laser attached. Prints as wallet. So far, nobody has questioned my need for two wallets! :D
 
I voted OWB because that was my primary carry mode for most of the last 28 years. However, in the past couple of years I find myself doing much more pocket carry (Kel-tecs & j-frames).

With the coming of the Kel-tecs, even when carrying OWB I also usually have a second gun in the pocket. They're just too small not to carry.

I have used fanny packs, ankle rigs and shoulder holsters occasionally.
 
SIG; P229 or sometimes P220 IWB, 4 o'clock, right. Comp-Tac CTAC.

I also have a Galati fanny pack with a velcoed back which I carry in sometimes- usually when I'm wearing a tucked-in T-shirt and no jacket or pullover. SWMBO started calling it my 'tactical man-purse' and it stuck. I wear it low and on the right so it doesn't look quite so 'touristy'. It's good for toting it around in the vehicle if I want to go off-body, but most of the time I pull it out of there and holster instead.

Rabbit.
 
Mostly IWB behind hip, sometimes OWB behind hip. Would prefer OWB always, but clothing realities get in the way.
 
When I carry openly it's almost always crossdraw, no matter what the handgun is. It's much more comfortable than strong side getting in and out of a car and out of the way on horseback.
 
Concealed carry is OWB on strong side hip.

At home, while dressed in gym shorts and T shirt, I'll carry in a Galco shoulder rig. Throw a shirt over the shoulder holster if the doorbell rings.
 
I carry my 229 behind the hip in a Don Hume agent holster. I've carried my G30 in the same position in a Sidearmor holster but the weight makes it feel uncomfortable.
 
Usually IWB, but also often OWB in the same position. OWB is more comfortable, but IWB hides better for me.

Have two modes of carry depending on the situations I'm likely to encounter. It's hard to decide which is used more often.

Poll won't allow two selections...

Thunderwear type carry and IWB on/behind hip are my two options.
 
90% of the time IWB holster carried at small of the back. Usually a Para C645 but there are several others depending on the mood. The other 10% is a hip holster, usually in cold weather only.
