Which Carry Option ? F Pockect B Pockect or IWB

[Javaguzzi]

What's the best way to carry the cm9/pm9 ? Which one's more comfortable ? Do you prefer Kydex or Leather?

Front pocket. If I'm going to go to the trouble to carry inside the waistband I carry a larger gun.

I have carried a Kahr K9 IWB for 13 years. I own a Kahr PM9 but I just cant be comfortable with carry it in my front pocket. Even though its a light gun. It just feels too heavy. Pulls my pants down. Then I will look like a homeboy. Lol. I guess its my system. I carry a small wallet in my front left pocket and my cash and change in my right pocket. BUT. I can carry my Kahr P380 in my right pocket with no trouble. IMO thats a true pocket pistol. Now I cant carry that Kahr P380 IWB because I feel its too small and can get my hand on the grip to draw. I prefer leather. I guess it comes down to different strokes for different folks.

AIWB for me with a Crossbreed style holster @ 1:30 ... tho when I carry my .380 it's back pocket in an Uncle George wallet holster.

Mostly carry IWB but will carry in a jacket or vest pocket if I think that works better at the time. Never carry in pants pocket as I think it takes to long to get to the gun in a SHTF situation. JM. .02

For front pocket look at James Dean on this forum. Mine is horsehide.

I voted front pocket, but that hardly the whole story. First let me say that I hate IWB and practically never use it even though I have every popular IWB holster. If possible I use an OWB carry. I have two pocketable guns, a PM9 and an LCP. [the MK40 is too heavy] Since I drive a convertible top down twelve months a year, a jacket is usually not out of place. So my pocket pistol is generally in an inside jacket pocket, that is, if I carry one.

I normally carry in a Don Hume JIT owb holster as described here

But on those rare occasions that I can't, I carrying in my rear pocket. Carrying in a front pocket is awkward for me and I.M.H. unsafe if you're carrying loose change or what ever. And I haven't seen a pocket holster that is flat on the outside so that it doesn't print.

What I did was to cut two pliable plastic pieces from a DVD case and cut them to fit in my pockets. I sandwich my PM9 between them, in my back pocket. It makes for a flat wallet look even when I bend over. The inner piece is so the trigger doesn't get snagged. The outer is for a flat surface look. It bends flat as you bend or sit and springs back when standing. The below pictures show my pants pocket bent tightly over my forearm

I'm still trying to figure it out myself. Just started carrying in January. I bought a pm 9 initially thinking pocket carry all the way. Ordered a galco horsehide holster but felt too tight and bulky in my jeans and printed way too much in my dockers. I then ordered a mika pocket holster but while waiting for it looked at a lot of videos and reports about the remora. Got the one with the reinforced top and absolutely love it as an inside the waist holster but too big for pocket carry. I can adjust the cant/depth easily and after 30 seconds dont even know its there. Dont know how important it is but very easy to reholster and makes practicing drawing a breeze. I also now have the mica and it fits well in my jeans and because it doesn't fit the gun too tightly does not print as a gun in either jeans or dockers. What I haven't figured out is in the summer usually wear running/gym type shorts and tank tops/t shirts etc a lot. Will figure out something. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Front pocket with a modified Kydex holster from Alabama Holsters. Occasional AIWB using a Remora sticky holster. This is with a PM9. I have two other carry pistols. Since retirement P3AT always front pocket and Glock 26 almost always AIWB with a rare pocket carry every now and then.

Get a belly band. There are some that are "breathable" so it doesn't get hot, wet and uncomfortable. You can customize placement of your gun anywhere on your upper body.
