OK, let me preface this with an acknowledgement that I’m not some bad hombre. When it comes to proficiency and knowledge on this board, I’m probably in the bottom 5%.
I carry my BUG in a pocket holster in the left hip pocket, available to the weak hand. The reason is two fold.
When I decided to carry, I bought a little Ruger LCP .380. I mean, that’s all I need right? I took the class and got my CHL. Then I joined this board and the Pistol forum. The PF board is heavy with LEO contingent. Two discussion on that board are relevant to this discussion:

(1) Lots of discussion about the effectiveness of various calibers. Video of ballistic gel, but more importantly, actual police reports of real world events. It convinced me I need to move up some. So, I purchased a Ruger SR9c for EDC that I carry 4 0’ clock IWB.

I love the little LCP. As small as it is, it announces its presence every time I send lead downrange. A single box of Winchester White-box will have your hand aching. I can’t explain it, but I just couldn’t give up that little gun. So, I decided to keep it as a BUG.

(2) I ran across a discussion about BUGs on a LEO thread in the PF. Some of the guys suggested that the BUG should be available to the weak hand because the same thing that disables your EDC may very well disable your strong hand.

Now I realize that there is a huge difference in the needs of a civilian LCT holder and LEO. But, I’ve already got the LCP that I’m going to keep as a BUG. AND, it’s an LCP. I mean the sights (such as they are) were added as an after thought. I checked it out, and my “aim” wasn’t noticeably worse with the weak hand as the strong hand with this little gun. So, I moved it from the right hip pocket to the left.
