I regularly pocket carry a Glock 42, Kahr CM9 or LCP. I never wear jeans though, I don't think I even own a pair.. never found any that I could consistently draw from. Always use some form of pocket holster if you're using that method; it ensures that the gun will always be in a consistent position (just throwing it into a pocket doesn't work). I only carry in a cargo pocket if I have no other options, 99% of the time it's in a front pocket.

The draw definitely requires a different technique, especially from odd positions. As with any other form of carry I dress around the gun, and for pocket carry that means looser, baggier pants and shorts, which allows the pocket to stay a bit more open.

The draw I practice for it involves keeping my hand flat against my thigh as I move my hand into my pocket, and pressing out the moment the hand enters the pocket which pulls apart the cloth around the gun and allows room for a fast grip. Once the grip is achieved, assuming you have a gun without edges that easily snag, the draw is simple.

It's not ideal, but you can make it work.

I only carry the LCP if I have to wear something a bit more sleek than usual (slacks or similar).
