Looking for ideas from any of you who already have a pocket holster for the 365 SAS. It's about as large as I'd ever go for a pocket carry setup. I'd like to hear from anyone who's given it a try.
Thanks

As you said, it's about as big as you'd want to go for pocket carry. But with the flush fit 10 round magazine, it works fine.
I used to do the same with a Kahr PM9. The P365 is basically identical in size, with 4 extra rounds and a better trigger.This message has been edited. Last edited by: RogueJSK,
The pocket carry to me is kind of tricky. I am 5'6", 155 pounds and in fairly athletic shape. If I wear clothes that fit, there is not a lot of pocket space to carry even a gun the size of P365 (I have a Glock 43 which is virtually the same dimension).
In this regard I dispute that PM9 and P356 are basically identical in size. In my pockets they (well, the G43) really are different.
But then again, if I pocket carry, it's the Kahr P380 with Boraii "holster"...

See below. Basically identical width, height, and length.
In the pocket, I can't tell much if any difference, other than the slightly heavier weight from the P365's additional rounds. They can even share pocket holsters.
During my very brief episode with the 365, I pocket carried an Alabama Holsters pocket holster. I wear Carhartt carpenter jeans and the gun / holster fit nicely in my right front pocket. Concealed well and was as comfy as pocket carry in jeans can be.

If it's a 9mm, I tend to stick with IWB. If I want to go "low profile" and pocket carry, I'll go with a 7 shot .380 ACP with the best ammo for that caliber (IMHO) the Lehigh Defense 90 grain Xtreme Penetrator.

I carry the p356 in my front left pocket almost all the time.
I use my IWB holsters either Vedder Lighttuck that is molded to hold the TLR-6 mounted on the gun, or the leather Outbags LS3, that also fits the Khar PM9.
If for some reason I want to change to IWB I just move it out of my pocket and it fits comfortably inside the wast band.
I pocket carry my P365 plain Jane in a Sticky brand holster with the flat base 10 round magazine. Works well when wearing cargo shorts/docker slacks. Always have a 15 round mag in a mag pouch on my belt.

I pocket carry an LCP2 in the provided holster every day. I wear cargo pants (specifically Duluth Trading Flex Firehose cargos) nearly every day, and the LCP vanishes.
The 365 doesn't print exactly (the outline is broken up, doesn't look like a gun) , but the pants don't have enough drape or I have too much thigh muscle or something because my leg winds up pushing against the 365 too much. So it just kind of looks like I have *something* vaguely squarish in my pocket, almost like a paperback book.
With really loose pants, or if I had chicken legs, it would be fine.
As it is the 365 is cargo pocket only where it goes great, until the IWB holster I have on order arrives.

I've used the Superfly that I originally bought for my G43 for the couple of times that I've tried pocket carry with the P365 (non-SAS). Came to the same conclusion as I did with the Glock: not for me.

Which Seecamp do you have? It's on my shortlist and I'm torn between the 32 or 380.
As far as the holster, I'm thinking I'll go with the Alabama holster company. I like to shop local.
I have an original (Milford) LWS380 (.380 ACP). I don't have a problem with recoil and think it's about the same as my Ruger LCPs (I own an original version and LCP2). I only use the "approved" ammunition in my Seecamp, which is Federal Hydra Shok and Winchester Silvertip, to avoid damaging the pistol and insure proper functioning. I routinely checked Matt Del Fatti's website for "In Stock Items", and nabbed an elephant hide PH-3 and matching PSM magazine carrier for my Seecamp. You like to buy "local" and I certainly appreciate that, but if you think a Del Fatti is something you'd like, check his "In Stock" items regularly and you may very well score like I did as he does occasionally make runs of his PH-3 holsters for Seecamp owners.
