Meh. Instead of doing one thing well, the ones I’ve seen do two things poorly.
I recognize that’s ironic coming from someone who put everything but the kitchen sink into a flashlight UI… but still.
I want captive deep-carry clips which facilitate button-up carry styles and don’t tear fabric or dig into skin.
Couldn’t agree more TK. I despise most pocket clips, and only more now this dumb trend has taken off.
The most hideous offenders are the afterthought clip-on ‘deep carry’ variety with too tight of a bend radius up top to allow any fabric passed… And just to make sure of that, they’ll add a lovely squared off ledge/riser that you have to get over… And all that only after you manually pry the bottom up to get it started because the super cool two-way design doesn’t have a stand off feature. :rage:
Coins pocket. I love coins, but they go in a small purse.
Surprising to see this poll without pocket option, btw. 
Option 3 ? 
I voted for pocket clip.
I have recently chosen left side carry of the SP31 V2, LH351D (not a perfect light, but it ticks quite a few boxes for me.
This leaves my dominant hand free for another edc tool.
I take the clip off to reduce the size and put it in the smaller pocket on the right side (lighter/pocket watch/etc pocket in jeans). Keys go in the big pocket under that and a knife is clipped inside that bigger pocket too.
Left front is for the phone, rear right is for the wallet. Back left can be used for the work phone when I need to keep it on me.
There is minor variation when in dress clothes (a smaller light like the IYP365 in the jacket). If I carry open, then I move the flashlight and knife to the back pockets to keep them out of the way.
I’ve lost a SAK using a suspension clip.
Deep pocket carry with smaller single cell lights.
XL100 ?
I like how your SC62w looks after all these years. It’s a great flashlight! I carried mine for about a year or so. My wife tried it out a couple years ago, loved it, and is now her flashlight. The only time I see it now is when the battery needs to be charged again.
It certainly has developed quite a bit of character over the years, and it continues to function perfectly for my needs.
My co-workers refer to it as “The Light of a Thousand Suns”, because they’re amazed by how much light it puts out for it’s size.
I regret not buying another one when they were available.
How did you manage that?
Best guesses. Seat belt. Caught on pull over, jacket or T shirt…while crouching. Leaning against stuff, or climbing through brush.
I did notice the clip would rise on occasion, after setting or crouching. And the length of the knife ended up right on top of my leg when
crouching. Thinking leg pushed up on the knife and the suspension clip help guild it to freedom.
A single-AAA twisty is in my right front pocket nearly all the time. I keep one in my dress pants, one on my work pants, and one in my pajama bottoms, and have several spares on top of the chest of drawers.
Since this poll is still open: I carry loose in pocket, but at home I use the clip with the light outside my pocked, facing down, so I can get quick, hands-free illumination. I like the d4v2 clip.
And yes I sometimes do just wear a headlamp, turned OFF, for hours (at home only haha 
)
Joining the thread necromancy I carry a KR1 clipped to my left front pocket of my pants and if I’m at work I have my head torch in a cargo pocket.
I prefer the nylon type holster.
I switched to carrying a light in my back left pocket and a cutting instrument in my right back pocket a few years ago and haven’t switched since (unless dress requirements dictate otherwise). Pocket clips greatly enhance the ease of egress and ingress in this location (other things reside in those pockets, too, so placement is important).
Wow that’s like a 2” difference in length! I got an SC4C LE first and it has spoiled me rotten. Every other light feels big by comparison.
I am still hunting for a deep pocket carry clip for my Q8 Pro.
I made a deep carry clip for my MF02S. Works well but sticks out of my pocket a bit.
