PM/CM9 Pocket Carry Daily & What Holster

[gmcjetpilot]

Just curious. I am really happy with my carry system, a leather pancake
holster high and tight on my right hip.... but I am toying with the idea of
carry in the rear or front pocket of my Jeans (knowing I will need a loose
shirt hanging over).

I too like a pancake for this little gun. I have a Don Hume 721 ot that allows it to hide under a t-shirt comfortably. For quick grab and go I have a Fist K5 on the way. It's a thin kydex with thumb tab. I'll give an update after it arrives. I tried a stays put pocket holster, great value, but it has more bulk than I prefer. I think it works best as an AIWB holster or tucked between the car seat and console.

NO REAR POCKET CARRY FOR SURE, BUT FRONT POCKET IN A DESANTIS OR uncle Mikes #3 and ur good to go. U might think it prints as u know it is there but no one else does so IMO ur good to go. I have carried in jeans 24/7. Asl;ong as u have a permit, ur good to go. The cm9 or PM9 will pocket carry very easily. IMO u need not specal dress to carry it either. My jeans are nuttin special but I can tell u that levi 505 are the best for pocket carry as they have damn good front deep pockets of any jeans...

Ifur happy with ur present system. then why switch???

Yeah. I'm with Jocko. Front pocket carry is so convenient with my PM40 that the only time I use anything other than the De Santis Super Fly is when I am on my bike.


I do NOT use the flat panel, but I like the extra pocket stickiness compared to the Nemesis.

Here in Tucson, light shorts are the uniform. With slash pockets it is very easy to draw and I have never had anyone say anything about it . . . not even my British friends who are averse to guns.

When the temperatures are cooler, Dockers, which also feature slash pockets, are similarly convenient.

Even if you are happy with on the waist carry, it is nice to have the option of pocket carry for times when an extra shirt layer is awkward or looks out of place.

Just my opinion, of course. And probably worth every cent you paid for it.

I carry my P380 and my CM9 in my rear pocket, wearing jeans. I use the Desantis Nemesis holster, and a shirt that is long enough to cover the top of the pocket. I almost NEVER tuck in my shirt while wearing jeans.

It works really well for me.

To clarify on edit: I only carry one or the other, not both. But whichever one I carry, it's in my right rear pocket. I generally wear standard blue jeans from Old Navy.

Front pocket of my Wrangler's will just hold a PM45, and easily holds a PM9. The PM45's magazine is just barely visible, but I don't sweat it... and nobody else does either.

+1 on this. I carry PM9 with an Uncle Mike's #3 in front cargo shorts pocket. It's a beautiful thing. I have pocket holster fetish so I am also going to get a Desantis nemesis,

Just FYI, uncle mike's #3 is a tad big for my CW9. Your mileage may vary.

I haven't had much time with the Fist K5 but my initial impression is that it is very very workable. A slim efficient design that prints little and is more comfortable than the soft holsters that I've tried. Negatives so far are it's an open bottom, the retention is a bit tight and the thumb tab extends 1/4" farther than the rear of the slide. Retention should be an easy fix and doing so may make the thumb tab placement a non issue but as is it is it's a two step process to release the gun and get a proper grip.

Don't get me wrong, this is my favorite to date of my pocket holsters maybe send this one to Fist for an adjustment to the thumb tab maybe 1/2" shorter which would make it ideal. Did I mention how well it fits the pocket?

My pm9 rides in a Desantis Nemesis in the cargo pocket of my cargo shorts. It flops around a little when I walk, which is ever so mildly annoying. The ease of the rig though (throw in pocket, success) is a good compromise. I do feel that it will be a little tougher to draw from the lower cargo pocket.

I've got an iwb coming from Crossbreed at some point (ordered back in May...) that I hope to use for non-cargo shorts & pants. I've found some of my regular style pockets are a little shallow even for a pm9 to conceal all the way.

Count me in as liking the DeSantis Nemesis, but the PM9 also wears well in the Galco M7X and the PJ IWB and the Galco Ankle Glove.
