Re: Pocket Carry Redux

I've been pocket carrying an LCP for the last few months, mostly in dress slacks. I love it. I keep it in my right hand pocket, because I noticed if I bend over it really "looks like a gun" in my rear pocket. It truly has become a "forget it's even there" gun for me.

The built-in change pocket inside my dress slacks actually holds the LCP in great position, and keeps it from moving around too much. Everything else has to go in my other pockets--cell, keys, change, etc... Nothing goes into the pocket with the gun. I agree with the other poster on how you can have your hand on your gun, ready to go, without drawing any attention. Sometimes if I'm walking out to a parking lot, I'll just walk with my hand and gun ready to go. Very easy.

With blue jeans, I do not like pocket carry. They don't hold the gun right, and the pockets aren't as big and easy to draw from. I suppose this could be remedied by using a pocket holster, so I'll probably pick one up for that. In the meantime, I've been using a size#0 Uncle Mikes and just carrying IWB when I've got jeans or shorts on.
