Have you ever tried the DeSantis Nemesis or SuperFly?

I have used the Nemesis and it works OK if the pocket is shaped in a way that doesn't give the gun enough room to flop around. Small, light guns help too - but those aren't what I carry.

It's also good for carrying in a fanny pack that doesn't have a built in holster. It doesn't work for me in roomier pockets, while the Fist holster does.

In the summer I often carry a small .45 or .38 in a good pocket holster like the Fist K5 in the front pocket of cargo shorts. I prefer the shorts with a deep slash style front pocket. The gun carries very comfortably, doesn't flop around, is well concealed, secure and very easily accessible.

The $44 price tag!!!

Holsters are not an exception to the rule that you get what you pay for.

This caused it to wedge in and I felt like I needed three hands to get it out. I do on occasion use the regular front pocket and this works okay. Pocket carry is way down on the bottom of my list for preferred carry options.

I use the Fist K5 with either a snubby .38 or a compact .40 or .45 semiauto. This holster keeps the gun stable and has a thumb platform to push on during the draw to make sure the holster stays in the pocket when the gun comes out in the hand. It also completely hides the profile of the gun. There is no printing at all.

Another option would be to go with gun concealment jeans.

Umm, Kahr CW40, worn-out velcro closure. Took off running after the grand kid, Kahr flies out, bounces off sidewalk into the street. In front of a pickup. Have no idea is they had realized what it was before I grabbed it and stuffed it back into my pocket.

You've succeeded in rediscovering why they make pocket holsters.
