Question for pocket carriers'
Moderator: carlson1
Dockers
I mostly wear pleated docker-style slacks. P3AT in a cheap holster works fine, but the holster impedes draw. When I'm wearing casual fit jeans like today I can skip the holster. When I wear tight jeans I carry a NAA Black Widow in a glasses case.

I think that any decent pocket holster will conceal the gun it was made for well enough that it will just look like a pocket full of loot. or a wallet.
as for Wranglers. well. most Wranglers I've seen are worn so tight, well, you could read the date on the can of Skoal in their back pocket.
if you looked there.
which I don't.......

I know I have not seen him in about a yr now, but, uuuhhh, how did he gain all that weight so fast.
What happened that I gained all that weight so fast you ask? Answer: I turned 30 last year.
I woke up 10 pounds heavier on that very day.

When I can't conceal a full size service pistol, I carry a P3AT in a Mika pocket holster or in a simple but effective handmade holster that came with the gun courtesy of a forum member. About all I ever wear is regular fit Wranglers... can't wear slim fit any more and don't care for relaxed fit...and have never had a problem concealing the gun in either front or back pockets.

S&W 642 in a Mika holster works well for me in relax fit Wrangler and Docker style slacks.
Some slacks have shallow pockets or the pockets stay open enough to see the butt of the revolver. With these, I tend to have my hand on the grip when walking around.

Oh, to be a young teenager again wearing skin-tight Wranglers! A Kel-Tec P3AT drops nicely inside a pair of my jeans, or a pair of Dockers and similiar type pants. I have a pair of loose-fit jeans I can stow my G26 in without printing, but obviously weigh the pants down somewhat. A airweight S&W might be one of my next purchases, as it would be a good choice too.

I carry a S&W Model 36 in a Mika holster in my right front pocket. I wear cargo shorts 80% of the time (when I'm not a work) and the gun and holster are a great fit. With most jeans, the fit is tighter and the draw is not as fast as from the cargos. Also, many jeans pockets are not as deep as other pants and the grip sometimes shows. But that problem can to solved by wearing a nice Aloha shirt.

I carry a Beretta Tomcat .32 in a Desantis holster. Some jeans if they are to tight well just stick with just a owb. I wear a lot of docker style pants and cargo pants which work great.
Carry this a long with a P97DC on the hip.
With those tight fittin jeans you could also try the Smart Carry holster.

I carry a P3AT in a Mika's holster, right front.
The Pants I wear are a style Haband sells, all elastic waist and belt loops.
They are advertized with an extra pocket in the right front pocket, supposedly for change, but it is fine as the holster for the Keltec or a S&W airweight, carried that way until the Mika came in.
