Money clip when pocket-carrying?

[Mulliga]

Does anyone use a money clip when they pocket carry? Since your gun takes up one whole pocket, I've been finding it difficult to cram the wallet, car keys, and cell phone all in the left side. Additionally, there's the issue of concealment (i.e. "Why does that guy have two wallets?"). I've never used a money clip before, so I'm curious as to how well they actually work.

Thanks in advance.

I've used a money clip for years...works great to hold license, a few credit/debit cards and insurance card.

Oh, and the few bucks that the wife lets me have.

Goes in the left front pocket; right front is reserved for more important things.

i clip my keys to a belt loop to free up space in my pockets, that way i can fit my cellphone and cigarettes in my left pocket, and my right pocket is reserved for a pocket holster.

Here's how I do it:

Car keys, pocket knife, handkerchief: left front pocket.
Wallet: left rear pocket.
Money clip, pocket hoslter: right front pocket.
Loose change: right rear pocket.
Cell phone: Shirt or jacket pocket, or leave it in the car (I use my cell phone very rarely).

It takes a little practice to smoothly withdraw the money clip without snagging it on the pocket holster, but it's okay.

Keys and moneyclip/credit card holder in left front pocket.
CCH in right pocket.
cell on the belt.

Check the keys you carry. Talk off what you won't be using. I reduced my key bulk by 50%. Saves a lot of space.

I don't carry a wallet and never did.
I have always carried a money clip and have gone through dozens of them. My current money clip is the smallest Spyderco knife. Good quality and duel use. I carry another knife, but why not use a knife as a money clip too ?

If I carry a pocket holster, I carry it in my back pocket. Right below where my IWB holster would be if I was carrying that. It is a muscle memory thing. No matter if I am carrying with a belt holster, IWB holster, or pocket holster, the gun is always in approx. the same place on my body.

I use a Spyderco Stainless Cricket as a money clip. It rides in my left front pocket. My wallet is minimized to the bare daily essentials so that I don't have a lump to sit on. It rides left rear pocket. Small Sebenza is clipped to the right front pocket along with change. Keys are stripped down to a house key and car key with a flashlight. This goes into the vest/jacket or left front pocket. Right rear pocket is for the CCW. The holster fills the entire pocket and hides very well.

I usually use a wallet for the seemingly dozens of cards I need plus any $20 or larger bills, and then the money clip is small bills only. If I'm only buying a Coke, I don't need to whip out a wallet that looks like it might have about a hundred credit cards in it.

Thanks in advance.

Trust me, no one is paying attention.
