Title: Pocket Carry
Post by: bb76 on June 22, 2025, 11:58:16 AM: I've been thinking about adding it to my concealed carry options. If you do, what are you carrying and why?

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.

Post by: Farmer72 on June 22, 2025, 02:44:51 PM: 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.

Post by: EnglishSetter on June 22, 2025, 03:54:56 PM: 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.

Post by: pianoman9701 on June 23, 2025, 08:20:33 AM: LC9, but get the trigger mod so that first pull isn't so long (about $100). And some True Glo sights.

Post by: Buckjunkie on June 23, 2025, 08:34:17 AM: 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.
