Wallets and IWB

What do you guys do with you wallets?

With my IWB holster in my pants I can no longer put my wallet in my right rear pocket. It is really strange in the left rear pocket and hard to get out so I find myself with it always off of my body which worries me.

adapt my friend. I carry a moneyclip. It holds my credit and cash and is not the least bit bulky. I can carry it in my front pocket, which in my opinion is where your money and good name should be anyway.

I carry similarly--I either have it in my left rear pocket or in an inside pocket of a jacket. When driving, I keep it on the center console by the gear shift (so not to forget it)--and if my lead foot gets too heavy and a LEO wants me to lighten it, I don't need to dig through pockets to get my DL.

My 2 cents

Bando...are you married? I know my wife wouldn't let me keep a $20....

much less, more than a few singles (she's still sore about a purchase I made--but hey, it came with two additional mags!)

I made the transition about a month ago.
It still seems weird, but slowly getting used
to it being on the left

Money clips work great. That what I started to put it in the front pocket when I started carring.

Works great and much less bulk.

I too, switched to the left side. It doesn't take long to get used to.

there was a post a while back on this subject. If I remember right, most switched to the weak hand pocket for wallet carry. I have , and it works well once you get used to it.
