Revolver pocket carry

[fastbolt]

Do you have more Snubbies or Fedoras ?
I like both

More hats. (Cheaper than guns to collect. )

Pocket revolvers are my favorite carry guns!

S&W 442 38 special, Taurus 415 41mag, S&W 642 no lock 38 special, S&W 637 38 special, and Taurus 605 357mag.

I occasionally pocket carry, mostly in the winter and spring/fall jacket weather. I carry a lot of stuff in my pants pockets, so I don't pocket carry in my pants, plus it is usually a slow draw from pants pockets.

In the winter, I often carry in a coat pocket since that is easier to access when driving than IWB strong side (my usual carry). It is also quicker than trying to get through the winter layers to get to my IWB even when walking around. I also like to carry revolvers at times, and I like that I can double my capacity by carrying one IWB and one in my coat pocket. In warmer weather, I do occasionally carry in a pocket (especially when carrying a revolver in order to double or nearly double the round count). However, it is rare since that means losing a lot of the stuff I usually carry around.

I never have to worry about pocket carry for "deep concealment". Some people carry at work even though they may be disciplined or fired for it. I am a teacher in a state where a CCW permit doesn't allow carry in schools, so I would be arrested if I carried at work and was found out. So, no matter how concealed, I don't carry at work, negating a common reason people need pocket carry.

My choices:
A S&W 442 in a High Noon Holsters pocket holster


A Taurus 856UL in a Simply Rugged pocket holster

You could always carry on your weak side pocket. When you’re in a situatiin that appears may go south, putting your non-dominant hand in your pocket may seem natural and less likely to draw attention.

How does a bad guy know which is your dominant hand? Is he Sherlock Holmes and watching for a wristwatch or fountain pen stains?

The context - and I didn’t do a good detailed THR-styled explanation - was that in a situation that is deteriorating, and you’re hoping it won’t continue to escalate to the point you have to draw or deploy your chosen firearm.

Your point is well taken, but hopefully I’ve explained my thoughts and rationale. Now I’ll buckle up for the criticism. Full disclosure: fortunately I’ve never had to draw my CCW, but I have had some testy confrontations.

I like how the blue looks on that Taurus

I'll pocket carry a 642 or LCP Max when I don't have the Shield Plus or a Glock strapped up and occasionally a 629.

Rather instructive that every revolver pictured in this thread is either hammer-less or shrouded hammer. That is smart for a non-snagging pocket draw.

Nah. Thumbs are free and most people never learn to put them on the hammer to avoid the snag.

Posters frequently discuss the overall draw speed of pocket carry…
I remain firm nothing is easier for a walk-the-little-family-dog carry in wintertime.

One can hold leash with weak hand and strong hand in the coat pocket.
An alert person can maintain same outward appearance in the neighborhood.

It allows a person more time to assess a situation that might be something…or might not.
No need to ruffle any feathers or commit oneself to an uncomfortable action over nothing.

YMMV. Just my $0.02

What carry method can you have your hand on your pistol without anyone noticing? The only one is pocket carry IMO...
