the "desk drawer" pistol is in an Uncle Mikes soft holster, but I would never use one for carrying.

Either leather or Kydex that fully protects the trigger is what I'm going to be using.

And FWIW, I have yet to see an Uncle Mike's product that I would use to carry a gun on my person. I recently purchased an Alabama Holsters kydex pocket holster which works with my XDS 3.3" just fine.
I have to agree with this statement as well. I wouldnt pocket carry a 1911 or something similar like a Sig P238/938. Nothing againt the guns just not for me. I have a Blackhawk pocket holster I have used before but dont really use it. I have found the Remora and Sticky holsters to be better options but my go to is kydex.

I follow the rules below:
1. There is nothinge else in that pocket.
2. I put the loaded gun with the safety lever on in the holster before I put the holster with the gun in my pocket.
3. I do not "fiddle" with it while it is in my pocket.
4. I trust mechanics as long as I clean and inspect the gun by myself and on a regular base.

It is a personal preference and one's own decision and reponsibility how to carry.
Same here with my P238.

Galco leather pocket holster that fully covers trigger, nothing in my pocket. I cant imagine accidently switching that safety off regardless.
