So I'm at FedEx wearing a long winter coat covering up my strong side holster w/ gun (doing what else, shipping a gun to someone).
Wallet is on SAME side as gun - right side - gun is at 4 o'clock so very near right rear pocket.
Ordinarily, with a SHORT coat, this is not a problem, as you can put your hand UNDER the edge of the coat to grab wallet without exposing yourself. And I couldn't just pull my coat back on the right side, and expose my pistol. But this was a knee-length coat, so I had to do some fancy maneuvering to get that wallet out while the clerk was waiting for me to pay, *especially* since the holster interferes with pulling the wallet out smoothly and easily even under normal circumstances.
So this point of all this is a "note to self" kinda deal:
Put your wallet in your rear pocket OPPOSITE your strong side/ gun side when wearing a LONG winter coat! In my case, left rear pocket will work.
