Pocket carry...........front or back?

December 10, 2018, 05:35 PM

I carry one in every pocket. And I wear BDU's. I like options

Seriously, I carry in the right front pocket. LCP or LCR. I don't carry a pocket gun if I'm carrying a "real gun". I carry spare mags, instead.

Bruce

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

_{What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???}

Pocket carry is the only way I carry out here in Arizona, where the uniform of the day is shorts and golf shirts 9 months out of the year.

Depending on how tight the pants are I have a plethora of pistols I carry, Ruger LCPII, Glock 43, Sig P365, S&W 2.0 Shield with integrated laser, and yes, even my Shield Performance Center .45

The .45 does fit nicely into cargo shorts with no problem at all.

Pocket holsters range from DeSantis Nemesis, BORAII Clip on, Ruger stock LCP II, Sticky holsters, and Remora.

And to answer the guy who said you couldn't get to your pistol with pocket carry, well yes you can, when getting into your car, just take any of those holsters (except the BoraII) and stick he pistol between the drivers seat and the console, it will be easy to get to then!

Usually I pocket carry a Smith and Wesson J-frame Centennial chambered in 357 Magnum or 356TSW

I have a few auto loaders that I occasionally pocket carry that are chambered in everything from 32ACP through 45ACP

It is always in the front right pocket in warm weather (the norm here in Florida)

Truth be told, once I found the 45, I kind of leave the 9MM at home.

I keep both because they are unique. I have a 9L as well. I am contemplating rechambering the 9L for 356TSW

They are certainly unique firearms. The 9s has a longer barrel than half of the pocket pistols out there, it is 4.2". That makes the 9S legal even in Canada

Front right pocket carry every day, currently a ruger LCP pro but have even carried a bulldog, a Tomcat, CM9 and many a J frame in this fashion.

Especially when I carry a "real" pistol because I plan on giving the pocket gun to my wife if the need arises.

My all day everyday carry is in my strong side front pocket. Small autos and J frames have all been there. I also keep a full-size semi auto in a small shoulder bag that is hidden in plain sight and provides options for driving. The big pistol bag is mostly for the car and an option when out and about. A couple of years I had a baby Browning.25 in a wallet holster carried in the strong side back pocket I no longer do that.

Keep your weapon handy, live free and prosper.

Strong side front pocket. I love the old Eotac/Woolrich elite front pockets for this; too bad they aren't made anymore. PM9 in a nemesis currently, but I'm looking at the P365.

Also, I recently discovered "stretch jeans" from American Eagle. VERY NICE!

Right front pocket carry, every day.
S&W 351c in .22 Magnum or Ruger LCR in .327 Federal Magnum, depending on where I'm going, what style pants I'm wearing, etc.
If needing to be totally invisible, I have recently converted to a Smart-Carry style setup, front and center. It is very effective.
