Just can't like pocket carry....

[Ziggidy]

I am I the only one that thong carries ?

Just throw my Raven .25 on top of my junk and I am ready for the innermost parts of the city.

Do you wanna approach a dude you just threatened.
When he just stands there calmly unzipping his pants ?

Is that where the term "pee shooter" came from?

Some people wear pants at home?

Prison pocket might be an option for you then I guess?

I pocket carry in a cargo pocket at work everyday. It is not ideal, but it lets me do my job without laying all over the pistol and still have a pistol with me while at work.

Pray tell us all, where do you put your gun when NOT wearing pants? Does it require more frequent cleaning?

I usually carry a sharpened toothbrush when not wearing pants.

Too many stories of people pocket carrying and guns falling out of pockets because they are not secured in a holster. I for one will not pocket carry!

Lots of stories of people carrying in waistband with no holster as well.

Not trying to pursuade you, but an argument based on the way the lowest common denominator may do it isn't really valid.

Sounds like they're doing it wrong. My pocket gun lives in an otherwise empty pocket, in a holster designed to retain the gun, protect the trigger from outside contact, and equipped with a hook to keep it in the pocket on the draw. Like any carry method there are some downsides, but dropping my gun has never been one of them.

It may well be that pocket carry is not the best choice for you...I certainly wouldn't want to limit myself to it exclusively, but find it useful in some situations. Just don't write the technique off completely based off of someone else's incompetence.

Sometimes it's better to not know the details!

Ha, a lot of nice posts, I usually do a Glock-27 or 43 in my right front pocket, when out and about depending on where I am going.
Today the wife wanted to go to the local Fishers Agri park which will close for the season tomorrow.
I was already in a pair of camo long pants (Army) and a t- shirt.
So I grabbed a sweatshirt and since I had locked up the 27/43, and I am so lazy to take a minute to unlock the lock box, pick one and go, I stuck my Glock full size G-17, in my pocket and we took off to pick some peppers, like Peter Piper.
After my wife picked a full shopping bag of peppers, I get her signal, go out in the park and swap out my empty bag for her full one. I pick a few just to look good, and go back to the Honda, where I of course open INGO.
But as soon as I got in the car I reached down to ensure my Glock was still there.
It is, and not something I do every day, it is what it is today, so I thought I would share.
Pocket carry is what you make of it.
A G-43 in a pocket holster, a G-27 in a BORII2A, or a G-17 raw.
Life’s full of choices Eh?

I hate carrying my phone, keys, and bill fold in my pockets. Couldn't imagine carrying a pocket pistol. I'm not a cargo pants wearing guy.

I'm currently pocket carrying because I'm too damned fat to use my IWB as it was designed. It's less than optimal but I'm not buying bigger clothes because I badly need to lose weight.

I pocket carried an airweight S&W J-frame (442) for a couple of decades until I bough a Sig P365 a couple of years ago. Now I pocket carry the Sig loaded with a 12 round mag.
