How do you carry your sidearm?

[rickb]

When I carry, I use an Osprey pocket (can't find the model, it's something between a chest pocket and hip pocket). I have it mounted on my right hip and it's large enough for my GPS, a few snacks, and either my G27, Shield, or LCP. Obvious caveat is that the gun is always holstered.

I don't think Osprey sells that accessory any longer, but it makes for a good concealed gun case.

Sounds good.

I cannot imagine some of the other shared strategies, especially during warmer weather when one is likely to be hiking in a sweat-drenched Duofold t-shirt and very lightweight shorts (or similar).

Some of these carry suggestions would be great for trips to the supermarket or even on day hikes, but not so much when you are sharing space and communal camping areas with strangers (most good but sometimes not), IMHO.
