In the Summer I wear almost exclusively cargo shorts which are baggy, but in Winter I wear jeans exclusively and there is no pocket room for me at all with jeans. So my inclination is to want to use a Shoulder Holster and cross-draw my P938, especially since in a TX Winter even if I'm not wearing a jacket I could always wear a loose-fitting long-sleeve shirt to hide the holster.

I have no experience with a shoulder holster but read that folks buy many different kinds before they find one that fits. Are there any shoulder-holster fans in here to comment?

I like a loose fit myself and I have no problem gripping the gun while it's still in my pocket --but then I may also have smaller hands. On the rare occasion I felt any concern about visibility of the grip I just put a handkerchief over it.

Another option is, find a brand of jeans with really large pockets. The "Duke" line of jeans sold online by Haband have the largest pockets of any pants I have ever seen. A full size 1911 will go into them and not show - - - printing, now that's another story.

Texsquatch wrote:You try the boot strap grip yet? I'm planning on ordering one to try on at least one of my LCR's. I have not found any of my pockets will fully conceal the bottom of the grip. I have considered back pocket carry but I don't even keep my wallet back there.

I've tried every pocket on my jackets and pants and it either doesn't fit or the lopsided weight in the jacket feels really uncomfortable. I'll do it for a quick trip out to the store but I wouldn't do it for any real length of time. I'll strap on the Comptac and carry my M&P45c for anything longer.
YMMV
