Pocket Carry - Which gun?
- Thread starter PistolShooter
- Start date
I've pocket carried my LC9 in cargo shorts, but to me it is too big of a gun for a pocket. I just carry it IWB with a t-shirt over it.
Today the stars finally aligned (my fresh NH drivers license, combined with the Palmetto daily deal) and I just ordered a Ruger LCP for $199. I have wanted to get one for a while but was not going to pay MA prices for one. I look forward to buying too many holsters until I find the perfect one.

Bodyguard is perfect
Maybe your Bodyguard is a lemon?.....
but mine has been flawless 800+ rounds and counting! and others on this site have said the same thing

I got one too then. Have about 200 rounds through it and only issue was a 1 failure to load, which could have been the ammo. I love my bg380
I pocket carry an LC9S in a cheap pocket holster. Looks like I have a bulky cell in my pocket.

There are a lot of people who agree with you. Personally, though, I've got a S&W 642 and it sits in my safe. I find that my Kahr PM9 conceals better, has higher capacity, is faster to reload, and is easier to shoot accurately. YMMV.

I have to see the Fedora holster! You thought reholstering appendix carry was dangerous...

I use a desantis nemesis for pocket carry and a crossbreed super tuck for IWB. Both are very comfortable and effective
DeSantis Nemesis. I tried the DeSantis Super Fly but found the extra flap just added too much bulk. With this setup if you are looking you can for sure see I have something in my pocket, but I doubt very much that anyone would assume it is a firearm.

Mika pocket holster. No way that anyone would assume it is a gun and it can be reholstered single-handed, which most pocket holsters can not!
Just don't do this...

I picked up a J-frame (M360J) and find it too bulky for comfortable pocket carry in a desantis nemesis. Doable, but causes huge bulge in the pants I wear. Conceals nicely AIWB though in even in snug lightweight shorts.
The PM9 was on my very short list but I couldn't pass up the low price and high reliability of the J-Frame...just wish it fit better in my pocket.

I've been carrying a Sig 938 in a uncle mikes pocket holster for the last few months at work with no issues. Very comfortable, looks like there is something in the pocket but you can't tell what it is.
I just sold my cw380 because it was supposed to be more for my wife than a pocket gun for me and she didn't care for the hard to rack slide. Since my buddy wanted one really badly and was willing to pay me almost what I paid for mine (only had about 150 rds through it) I sold it to him. I wasn't in a place to buy my wife something else without selling the cw380 unfortunately.
I got my wife a Charter Arms 5 shot snubbie in .38 special circa 1970. She likes the revolver better, no slide or mags to worry about and at only $195 I couldn't resist. I have taken it out a couple of times in my front pocket and actually I was surprised at how little I noticed it. I was wearing cargo shorts though, I will have to see how it does in jeans in the fall. Dockers should be fine, dress pants I don't know. I may just get a proper pocket holster for it and a couple of speed strips and/or a 5 star speed loader.
Someday I may buy another cw380 for myself because that little gun shoots great and is IMHO the perfect pocket gun with the right ammo of course.

I have a 642. It sits in my safe. I doubt I have carried it once int the past 10 years. I find that the PM9 is easier to carry, easier to shoot accurately, faster to reload, etc. it is just better for me in every way.

Oh well, I carry a Glock 21. My current day wear are shorts with a very deep watch pocket. My spare magazine is about an inch below the top. With a tall T-shirt no one can tell I'm carrying. About 2" of the grip protrudes. In winter I carry in my coat pocket with the spare magazine in the other.

I liked the G43 out of these three pocket CCW. IMO It had the best accuracy & trigger .
