Pocket Carry Club

[David]

The best way for me to carry my CCW is in my front pocket. I currently carry a S&W J-frame in a DeSantis holster, although I am thinking about getting a 9mm auto to pocket carry as well.

How many of you use "pocket carry" as your primary method of CCW?

Also, if you do pocket carry, what handgun do you pocket carry, and what brand of pocket holster do you use?

I wear jeans and a revolver is too big for my pockets. I do carry a Grendel P12 in a home made "wallet" holster in a rear jeans pocket. Looks like a wallet, until I flip the cover flap out of the way and grab the gun. Neat set up, but I much prefer carrying my Kel Tec IWB in a Mitch Rosen Workman rig. Just that I can't do that at the shop where I work, so I carry the .380.

I always have a NAA .22 in a "holster grip" in my front pocket because it takes up no more room than a pocket knife.

Honorable member of the 642 club and I carry my 9/642 in a bastardized USA brand nylon holster.

 

[DirksterG30]

I carry a Kel-tec P3AT in an Uncle Mikes pocket holster, but only when I can't carry anything larger.

 

[MikeJ]

My primary carry gun is a S&W 442 in an Uncle Mike's pocket holster.

 

[M2 Carbine]

A Kel Tec 32 or 380 in holsters I made.

If the new Kel Tec 9mm fits my pockets I'll probably carry it.

If my pockets were large enough I'd carry a Crimson Trace equipped S&W J Frame.

Pocket carry is how my 642 finds use. I wouldn't call it my primary carry method though; it's mostly for when my wardrobe requirements don't allow IWB carry of my 1911.

 

[Glockman17366]

I carry a Taurus 85 Ultralight in a Galco holster in my front pocket.
Some of my jeans pockets aren't deep enough (butt sticks out), but I can normally get around that by wearing a tee shirt out. The Galco has a squared off bottom to the holster. I've read a lot about the Mikas holsters more rounded bottom, so I think I'll try one of those out.

I must admit I do prefer carrying a Glock 19 in a belt holster, but I've got to dress around that...so, that little Taurus normally is the one that goes out with Daddy.

 

[ACP230]

I often carry a Smith M649 or an M38 in an Uncle Mike's pocket holster.

I also use a Wild Bill's leather pocket holster in a coat pocket. It's too big for my pants pockets, but works well in a coat.

Kayh PM9 in a Desantis Nemesis pocket holster. Prior to that it was a S&W 642 in an Uncle Mike's pocket holster.

Pocket carry works well for me, whether in jeans, shorts, or dress slacks.

KT P32 in Uncle Mikes for years.

Just got a P-ll and its in my pocket in full cut jeans as I write.(just testing) It prints a little. If I put a handkerchief to the outside it helps. No holster, just pocket. But I will more than likely stay with the P-32 as it's just natural as my wallet & keys.

Boy, I like this P-11 and it's good to shoot 9MM again after years of magnums and the 40 S&W KT, Glocks etc. I have a little Fobus Paddle that it rides in for field duty and that's a nice package too.

642 became safe queen 10 years ago or so, when the little NAA 22 mags came out.

They are in the safe now since the P32 came along. I still like that little 642 and it will never go away. But there are other snubs in front of it with higher power and more shots.

For the biggest pockets, a Taurus PT145 in a Mika holster. For average pockets, either Kahr PM9, Charter Undercover .38 or Taurus 905IB 9mm, all in Mikas. Where only the smallest will fit, a Keltec P3AT in an Uncle Mike's.

Variety is the spice of life.

When I pocket carry it is mostly a S&W 642 in an Uncle mikes pocket holster size #3. Some times when I wear my 5.11 paints the pockets is big enough I can pocket carry my GLOCK 23 in a cheap nylon holster that I stripped down just for pocket carry. I aslo have a Taurus PT-25 I carry in a stripped down Uncle Mikes IWB holster in my pocket, just what ever I feel for that day.

 

[orangeninja]

I carry a Taurus 650 CIA .357 Magnum, blue steel, 24 ounces in an Uncle Mikes pocket holster.

Soon I'll add a Taurus Protector .357 magnum, stainless steel, 24 ounces and a Mika holster to the ensamble....

Sometimes I carry a Glock 19 IWB.

Often I carry the Glock 19 or 26 AND my Taurus revolver....one IWB behind the hip and Taurus in front pocket.

Fastest way to reload? Have a second gun.

S&W 442 in a Kramer pocket holster.

If that feels too bulky I go to the Kel-Tec P32 in a DeSantis Nemesis.
