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

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 them :shock:

:iagree: Plus a good pocket holster will keep the gun from doing somersaults inside the pocket.

:iagree: 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.

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

Yes this is it. We want pictures too.

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.

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.
