It's much less complicated to not own one and keep temptation at bay.

I have been thinking about this comment for a week or so. It is true. I never had a real problem concealing my 9mm, but after my son got his Kahr P380, I just had to have one. I don't feel the least bit of confidence in this weapon as a good self defense caliber. Just as Excaliber posted, I occasionally throw this thing in my pocket out of pure laziness. It is typically those times when I need to run a quick errand and I just don't feel like holstering up. It would not take me 2 extra minutes to put a holster with my PM9 on my waist but the temptation of throwing that mouse gun in my pocket is just too strong.

And I'm quite the opposite.

I carry what's most comfortable for me. Well let me clarify that... What's most comfortable to wear.

How are you the opposite of me? You said exactly what I said. You just held your lips different as you said it.

I'm the opposite as I don't feel the temptation to grab a smaller gun because it's there. I'll holster up before I pocket carry. I guess if I were in PJ's that wouldn't hold up a holster I might put the .380 in my pocket to go to the front yard to check out a noise. But more than likely if I felt the the need to check something out in my front yard I wouldn't worry about the PJ's or concealing so I'd take either the 40 or the .357

Didn't mean to offend anybody with the comment. I just felt that my thought process on a pocket gun was the opposite because I didn't feel the temptation to carry something smaller just because it was there. I went through several holsters before I found one that I was 100% happy with. If I wasn't so happy with my set up though, I might do the same. Again, sorry to offend anybody if I did.

And I'm quite the opposite. I own a wide variety of hand guns. I have holsters to conceal several of them, but since getting my King Tuk holster have only carried my Kahr P40. I own .32's, .380's, .38's, .357's, 9mm's, and 40's. And while I feel my.380 round of choice is adequite and I'm very confident in my reliability and accuracy of my .380's I carry what's most comfortable for me. Well let me clarify that... What's most comfortable to wear. I'd carry my S&W Model 19 if it were easier to conceal and I wasn't concearned with sweating on it in this hot Texas weather. That has to be my favorite to shoot by far.

My Primary cary is a Kahr P40 in a Galco King Tuk. I tried several different setups before finding this. Three days after getting the KT I was hooked.
I'm going to be ordering more for my other carry pieces.
