Re: Ruger 380 LCP Pocket Carry
I use a SuperFly, with a removable and reversible flap. Front pocket or back pocket carry, the flap breaks up the outline of the pistol even more. The non-slip material on the outside even makes boot carry comfortable.

I use an "Uncle Mike's" for my LCP, as well.

Re: Ruger 380 LCP Pocket Carry
I don't have the LCP (unfortunately), but I do have a walther THP that I carry as a bug. I personally find pocket carry uncomfortable as I feel like there is a rock in my pocket. I use a IWB holster at 3 o'clock position. I can't even feel the gun and forget it is there. It is fairly quick access as well and covers with any light shirt. While I prefer a bit more firepower, you can beat the concealment.

Re: Ruger 380 LCP Pocket Carry
hi joe817:
The holster is made by "gun glove custom holsters". I bought it from a guy on e-bay for $31.00 brand new. It makes for a skinny package with the TPH and it really carries comfortably. It is not a super nice holster, just mainly functional, but I have been pleased with the way it disappears, even with a plain white T. I have never had any concern at all about printing, and my brother-in-law, who is an officer of nearly 20 years, loves to point out any trace of a bump! That is motivation for me! The down side is that the TPH is only .22LR. While it is very accurate and reliable, I probably need to move up to .380 for better stopping power in my back-up gun. I figure I won't be pulling that out until I have already emptied my Colt Commander and both my spare clips, so stopping power might not be my biggest problem if that ever happens! I think I only have the Walther for my own psychological reasons!

Re: Ruger 380 LCP Pocket Carry
If it makes you feel better, I'm 5,9 and can carry a j frame snubby smith airweight in the front pocket of my khakis with NO problem. An uncle Mikes size 3 pocket holster is PERFECT, and nobody seems to notice. I know I print if I squat, but after a month, I've figured out that nobody cares. But I would like to have an LCP or Kel-Tec that size. I'm jealous!
