What's your preference between pocket carry and belt holster?

I can't decide between pocket carrying my Shield or getting a good IWB holster for belt carry. Pocket seems more convenient for quick errands, but belt carry feels more secure and accessible, what do you guys prefer for everyday carry?
 
Belt carry with a good IWB holster is always better, the draw is faster, more secure, and less likely to print. Pocket carry is a distant second, only for those absolute "I'll be gone in 5 minutes" trips
 
What IWB holster do you recommend for the Shield? I've been looking at a few but can't decide between leather or kydex options
 
I’ve tried both, and honestly IWB wins for me. Pocket’s fine for quick trips, but the draw’s slower and bulkier. With a good belt holster, access feels smoother and way more consistent day to day. What do y'all think though?
