Outwardhound; I literally carried in my pocket, no pocket holster. I did improvise to avoid "printing". However, I like the Mika suggestion.

Re: 1st Time Out w/CCW
I think a pocket holster is a necessity, Mika suggestion is indeed good...makes me nervous without having the trigger covered, esp. a striker fired gun. Besides, my pockets usally got to much lint and stuff in themSoldiernurse wrote:Outwardhound; I literally carried in my pocket, no pocket holster. I did improvise to avoid "printing".

Plus a good pocket holster will keep the gun from doing somersaults inside the pocket.outwardhound wrote:I think a pocket holster is a necessity, Mika suggestion is indeed good...makes me nervous without having the trigger covered, esp. a striker fired gun.

Re: 1st Time Out w/CCW
Another point. As with any carry gun, you should consider practicing with it. I unload, go to a room where there is no ammo and work at consistently getting the gun out of my pocket. Smooth is fast. I suspect that, without some kind of a pocket holster, you will be inconsistent with your draw. If I'm going to my pocket to pull out the gun, I want to make sure it comes out in a position to help me and not have me fumbling to control it.USA1 wrote:Plus a good pocket holster will keep the gun from doing somersaults inside the pocket.outwardhound wrote:I think a pocket holster is a necessity, Mika suggestion is indeed good...makes me nervous without having the trigger covered, esp. a striker fired gun.

My LCP is my BUG but I still want to know that I get to it if needed.

Gun control is like stopping drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to drive.

Re: 1st Time Out w/CCW
Did Google search for Mika's Pocket Holster. Placed an order for the standard round cut. About 5 mins goes by and the man himself calls me. Talk about good customer service, wow.

My wife loves Wally World & frequents the store on FM 3009. As for me, I much prefer Academy, and even Target, over Wally World. In fact, bought some ammo at Academy last month.

Re: 1st Time Out w/CCW
I've tried several pocket holsters and like the Desantis the most. Ended up with two clone guns. The P-11 and the SCCY so the High Noon still gets used just because I like leather. Father was a professional leather worker.
