pocket carry anyone?

[Harrylee]

I was looking around tonight and I ran across this. Not much on pocket carry much rather have a holster but this was interesting and I do enjoy hickok45 so this was his take on it and yes he did have a kahr on the table

I don't hardly use a holster much these days. Depending on my attire, a PM45 or PM9 in my pocket, lint and all, is good to go.

I carried the one PM45 in my pocket for months and months, got a little stressed out one day after work, and pulled it out in the back yard. Fed its six rounds flawlessly, lint and all.

That was a good excuse for a cleanin', but if I been in a gritty or sandy place, I know enough to make sure the pistol get a good internal bath.

And.... the K-Kote on my PM45 is holding up pretty well. A few nicks n scrapes, but the only really bare metal is on the slide stop forward edge, which takes a lot of rubbin'. Other than that its not too bad for a few years of literally daily carry.

I pocket carry my CM9 or LCP quite often when IWB or OWB is not convenient. Throw it in a cheap Blackhawk and never even think about it being there, except when I reach for my truck keys and they're in my other pocket.

Sometimes I pocket carry my P380 in a Sticky Holster or a generic leather pocket holster with back panel. It works well for me, especially during summer.

I sometimes pocket carry a TCP but my build and my jeans don't hide that bulge enough for me to not be self-conscious about it.
As the weather gets colder, though, I may be doing more coat-inside-pocket-carry with the TCP or my PM9 as that would be more accessible than IWB with a buttoned up jacket over it.

pocket carry anyone?

IMO the whole miracle of a p380 (or similar sized 380) is that I CAN pocket carry with a pocket holster. No other method is so convenient, safe and discreet.

One of several huge advantages is you can put your hand in your pocket without attracting attention. In the video, Hickok45 shows noting, but already has the gun in his hand. There's no way to get that head start using an OWB or IWB holster.

I've been pocketing my MK9 for years.........it's not the only way I carry, but for the most part, since open carry is cause for a face planting around here, it's very convenient.......................would never do it without a holster of some type though.

CM9 replaced many years of pocketing a snubby for work. Its in my pocket in a hard leather holster as a CC or a back up for a larger kahr.

Pocket carry's never worked well for me, for whatever reason.
One single exception...an NAA Mini in .22mag in a hip pocket in a holster not made any more. Got pushing 20 years on that set-up and use it often...refer to it as my Speedo gun.

Got my cw380 in my pocket in a sticky holster as I type right now. I carry my CM9 in my pocket also - not quite as comfy because of the extra weight though.

[yqtszhj]

I pocket carry a J frame or cm9 all the time. Used to pocket a lcp until i upgraded. Sometimes pocket carry my cm45. All of them are in a holster of some type.

[O'Dell]

I much prefer to belt carry, but that only works with a jacket or untucked shirt. I don't do IWB normally, but I just bought two small Remora's so I'm going to try again. If so, it will be with the PM9 or CM45. If I am forced to carry in a pants pocket, it's always the PM9. The CM45 and even the MK40 will work in an inside leather or heavy jacket pocket. The reason I like a belt holster is that it opens up the choice to nearly all my pistols.

[Barth]

I do sometimes pocket carry a HK P2000SK 357 or Kahr MK40 Elite.
But my favored pocket gun is an 11.1 oz S&W 342 ti Centennial J-Frame.

Really prefer OWB belt carry.
But that's not always practical.

[DeaconKC]

I pocket carry all the time. A S&W 642 or a Keltec PF9.

[DavidS]

I pocket carried an MK40 usually in a Recluse or a simple thin leather pocket holster.
Then I was introduced to the "fanny" pack and that is what I use the most. However, pocket carry is still a component of carry when the fanny pack is not appropriate, like coat and tie events.
