My wife used to tell me that she could tell when I was carrying in my right front pants pocket. So one day I put my wallet in that pocket and she said, "I can see your gun." I pulled out my wallet, showed it to her, and she's never said anything since.

A well-designed pocket holster will prevent most compact guns from printing. I carry in a Desantis Nemesis and it keeps my S&W 642 from printing in almost any type of pants. The only trouble is that the gun is is about 6 3/8" long and that's longer than the pockets of my Wrangler jeans so I have to wear a shirt untucked if I'm wearing them. My Kahr PM9 is only 5 5/8" long and it fits in the Wranglers with no problems. Also, the Kahr is more than 1/4" thinner than the S&W, so that makes it easier to conceal as well.

I agree that most people will probably not know you're carrying a weapon IWB unless you bend over to the point where it completely exposes the gun. For me, though, IWB doesn't work too well. I'm short, so when I sit down the gun starts to poke me in places I don't want to be poked! And, I'm "stocky" (my wife's polite word for fat), so it's pretty uncomfortable.
