Pocket Carry

[bb76]

I've been thinking about adding it to my concealed carry options. If you do, what are you carrying and why?

What you will carry everyday without exception.

I carry a 380 LCP in pocket holster.

Too big or uncomfortable you will leave it at home. Too hard to conceal you won’t carry it.
I have carried non stop for 40 years.
I have several handguns to choose from. But the one everyday without fail is the LCP.

If on a long road trip, it’s two Bond Hand cannons in double shoulder rig.

If hunting it might be 9mm SVE, Judge, 40 SVE , but the LCP is always there.

Ruger LCR, 357 mag.  Fits in a pocket, ankle holster, IWB, pretty much any way a guy could think of carrying a gun.

[MADMAX]

Depends on what I’m wearing
Usually one of these
Llama 380 baby 1911
Western Marshall 357 derringer
S&W 38 special J frame revolver

[wadu1]

Ruger LC9s

[Farmer72]

I am usually carring a Ruger LCP 380, a AMT backup 45 acp, or a S&W 442 Pro. I prefer the S&W 442 Pro as I prefer a revolver for ease of use and less potential for issues. If I need something smaller the LCP is hard to beat. I forget it is in my pocket most of the time. The AMT is just a little beast.

[jdb]

More often than not I have S&W 442 in my front pocket. I also occasionally have and lcp in the breast pocket of a jacket or vest.

[bb76]

I'm leaning towards a snub nose revolver for ease of use.

Usually s&w 642 in a pocket holster for me.

[EnglishSetter]

Depends what I'm wearing.  In mild or cooler weather it's a P365 in a Vedder IWB hybrid holster. 

In hotter weather (or greater stealth) LCP in pocket holster.

[Ironhead]

When wearing summer clothes (shorts) I carry a Diamondback 380 with a shoot through wallet holster. It fits in my shorts pocket and you dont have to take it out of the holster/wallet to shoot.

[ASHQUACK]

Another vote for the LCP 380. Pocket pouch the thing goes everywhere.

[hookr88]

S&W Bodyguard .380. Has a crimson Trace built in laser.

[Igor]

S&W AirLite 342PD.

[pianoman9701]

LC9, but get the trigger mod so that first pull isn't so long (about $100). And some True Glo sights.

[Buckjunkie]

Like others have said, It depends on what I am wearing. In cooler weather where I can wear bulkier clothes or a long shirt, my go to is a H & K P30 SK 9mm with two extra mags on a belt holster. In warm weather where I wear a lot of cargo shorts and t-shirts, I carry a Walther P22. It is thin and fits in my back pocket along with a couple extra mags, which are also small. Many will say a 22 is too small, but I shoot this one well and ammo is very cheap, so you can practice a lot.

[brokenvet]

Browning 1911-380  IWB holster

[Trigger05-11]

Glock 43x with Shield Magazine. 15 in the mag and 1 in the chamber. Pocket cary in a kydex holster. If really hot and wearing the wrong shorts I use a fanny pack. Fanny pack also has room for two 30 round mags.

[jstone]

A .22 is better than nothing

[Buckjunkie]

A .22 is better than nothing

And it’s easy to carry lots of rounds

[actionshooter]

I carry a M&P shield for a pocket gun and have a Sig P238 for the summer.... I won't carry in my pocket unless there is some kind of "holster" to cover the trigger ... really worries me.

[spin05]

I carry my wifes Ruger LCP 2 every so often in pocket.  Came with a nice holster for pocket carry

[pianoman9701]

Hoppe's or Otis dry lube keeps those cargo shorts from getting oil stains.

[ghosthunter]

Just to add, usually got to clean my pocket gun once a month, attract some lint even in the pocket holster. Might be less of an issue for revolver guys .

Do you add it to the wash or dry cycle?😀

I had the same issue with a revolver, lint gets in between the cylinder and frame as well as the trigger.  I never had it not fire, even intentionally leaving it in there just to see but I would guess it would happen to any gun that spends a lot of hours in pockets.

MP shields are sketchy little things - my wife has one and it is 100% impossible to keep the magazine in it when she carries it in her gun purse

[Macs B]

My go to for the pocket is a BFR 12 inch in 50AE, if you're gonna be packin' you might as well look like you're really packin'!

[b23]

For pocket carry revolvers the hammerless J-Frame S&W's or Ruger LCR IMHO are both about as good as it gets.  I've had a couple 442's and they were great light little revolvers.  Currently have two Ruger LCR's one is a 38spl the other is the 357mag version and they are both equally good little guns. 

My wife tried numerous different CCW's and through trying them all every time she said she was the most comfortable with the Ruger LCR 38spl. 

[vandeman17]

S&W Bodyguard .380. Has a crimson Trace built in laser.

Same

[rainshadow1]

I always use an inside the pants holster without a belt clip to keep debris out and to protect the trigger. It also hides the shape a little.

Full power 40smith, even in the slim and stumpy... too many non-stoppage stories from the littles.

[fly-by]

Kimber K6S IWB most of the year, pocket carry LCP in the summer.

[coachg]

I carry a 365 AXG Legion.  Fits my hand well and I Geta. full purchase on it.

It's bigger than most but still 1 inch wide.  Really shoots well too.  Didn't enjoy shooting the 365 or MP.  Just too snappy.

[bb76]

I'm going to try a Cobra and see how that works out.

Have the lcp in 380.  I have to use the little finger grip extension on the magazine or I can only get the middle finger to hold the grip.  It shoots fine up to about 20 ft.  Beyond that, I can't seem to group well at all.  It's nice that it weighs in at one pound.  Ideal for running with.

[kselkhunter]

S&W Bodyguard 38 and S&W M&P Shield 9mm.  Carry the Bodyguard the most often.

[jdb]

I think that the s&w 351c would be a re
Ally nice option

[BKMFR]

Staccato 9mm w/red dot. If I'm packing, I want to be able to hit across the room if I have too.
Little bit larger, than I used to pack, but the confidence is worth it to me.

Same, Glock 43x and S15 mags, but IWB.

[Westside88]

M&P 340 J-frame  13.8 oz unloaded. It's got some bark with .357 mag loads, but surprisingly accurate for a little revolver. The 38 spl FBI load is a good middle of the road round. I prefer a little revolver for deep concealment. works well in a pocket (jacket or pants) in a sticky holster, an Inside the waistband holster or a pouch or fanny pack. Most importantly they are easy to carry. I like to have a Desantis speed strip or two with extra rounds.

[BKMFR]

Had a Sig 365 but went away from it, nice pistol, but have a HK CC9 with Red dot coming.
Lots of positive reviews, will be my everyday carry. 10 and 12 round magazines available for it. I know.... no 12 round in WA state, but they are available outside this state.
Hoping they are as good as all the reviews, being it's a HK I'm confident it will be.

Wait, did I miss something?  Is it not legal to carry a magazine greater than 10 rounds? 

[Rat44]

Legal to own or use.
You just can not buy or sell in state.

Not comply with what? You won’t be able to buy them in WA if that’s not complying. But I’m pretty sure that’s not what you mean.
(They’re legal to own and use, not legal to sell in WA)

[hookr88]

I will not comply with any of the new unconstitutional gun laws.
