I'm thinking about shifting my wallet to my back pocket, but that was always very uncomfortable for me. What do you guys think? What do you carry on your person, and how do you distribute it? I'm considering going IWB with my Sig P239, but I haven't found a comfortable way to do so that doesn't print when I sit or stand.
Thanks!

Pickpockets love it. They're damned fast at getting wallets out of back pockets after a collision with you or other distraction.

It provides drag and makes it impossible for someone to pick your pocket.

Wrap a big rubber band around your wallet if you keep it in your back pocket.

Never thought about that.
I keep my billfold in my back pocket except when traveling and then I go to a traveler's purse thing that I wear around my neck and under my shirt.
I always have a folding knife in my front pocket except when going to buildings with metal detectors. I usually have a snubnose .38 in my right pocket when go places I can legally carry according to my CCW.

That would require a completely different pocket load out.

No, I'm not a biker. But I used to be. I owned a screamin' Kawasaki JTRL-50. Once.
Left front tissues for my runny nose, left rear nothing, right rear wallet with aformentioned chain, right front pocket, lighter, chapstick, coinage.
If pocket carrying, everything except the wallet gets rotated counterclockwise 90 degrees and the .380 goes in right front pocket sans holster. (After turning the pocket inside out and giving it a good shaking to clean it out.)
Any other time I'm packing the 1911.

In my right front pocket I have my wallet, cell phone, keys, and knife (clipped to the edge of the pocket).
How do people do that? I have attempted to carry various knives in that manner, but without success. It makes the pocket useless for anything else. When I reach into the pocket, it's hard to pull anything out, without my hand pushing the knife out with it. Some knives scratch my hand up, just trying to get my hand in the pocket in the first place. I don't have fat hands, nor are they especially large. What gives?
For some years, I have carried fixed-blade knives in the same position in my front pocket, with the end of the handle sticking out. And that works out pretty well.

Well a real Mall Ninja would be wearing his climbing slippers at all times, I just figured you had them on your feet already. I know you drive a Subaru, probably a Brat right?

Me too, that's why I just keep the challenge coin in there. I also put my receipts in there since I'm not always in and out of there.
