Hey guys, this is my first post ever. I have come across a problem with my carry ammo. It seems to collect a lot of lint (as does my gun and holster).

Hi, I've been thinking lately about getting a Kahr PM 45 or similarly sized 45. However, I am wondering if anyone could recommend me some good jeans for pocket carrying this pistol.I don't like khakis or cargos, are there any actual denim jeans where the PM 45 would just disappear inside the pocket?
