I'm glad there's so much input in this thread.

I'll be ordering a new Remora soon. They work well without belts and don't shift much at all. More of a clipless IWB than a pocket carry holster though. I used one with my old G27 and it never shifted.
I recommend the reinforced one because it doesn't collapse when you draw.

I did some tests and the holster would not shift even when jumping around purposely trying to make it fall out.

Based on every ones' input ITT I'll be picking up a trigger guard ASAP

Occasionally when I go out in athletic shorts I toss in my P22 since my G23 is too heavy to carry in light shorts. I was shopping today, feeling very comfortable laying on mattresses and not thinking about the fact I was carrying.

About 30 minutes into mattress shopping (laying down multiple times) the salesman says, "You know, it is quite an unsettling feeling having a gun pointed towards you."

When I look down I see the handle sticking out of my pocket maybe a half inch and the muzzle pointed at him, when he stands up, moves over and says, something like "I'd appreciate a fair warning."

He seemed very polite and composed. I realized I wasn't paying attention to the P22 shifting around which had the handle easily visible. I could understand why someone would feel uneasy in such a situation but he seemed calm.

Leaving the business had me wondering if a non clip pocket holster is preferred over simply carrying in the pocket alone with a safety engaged.


Note: When I had a g27 I always carried it in a holster. With the P22 I feel a holster is unnecessary. What are your thoughts on pocket holsters?
