I recently picked up a Kel-Tec P3AT 2nd generation and I am looking for a good pocket holster. I usually wear jeans and khakis with normal sized pockets. I usually don't wear cargo pants with huge pockets.
Thanks in advance

Check out DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster. See their website for gun sizing to see if they have one that fits.

http://www.desantisholster.com/n38.html - just checked, they do list your gun. $19.99. Very sticky, I tried it out for my XD9SC, didn't fit. But if it did, I would've kept it.

Try the FIST pocket holster.

I had a nemesis for my keltec p32. dang thing would either come almost all the way out of my pocket when drawing the gun, or it would come out! Sometimes still attached. It didn't matter how careful I was, how deliberate i was at trying to be perfect in the draw, it would still do it. Which lead me to this conclusion, if I was forced to quickly draw the gun under pressure, it is most likely to keep doing that. Especially when the majority of the time I did it under controlled conditions, it wouldn't work properly. maybe it's just not meant to work very well in blue jeans, i don't know. Whatever it was, it didn't work worth a damn for me. You may have better luck, and I hope you do.

I've carried my Keltec P32 in an Uncle Mike's #2 for years.
It wears well, conceals as if it were a wallet in my pocket, and (with practice) stays in my pocket when I draw. This gun goes EVERYWHERE with me for the past four or so years.

i second the desantis i have one for my 950 and one for my S&W works great with both never had it come out with the gun

I carry my S&W J-frame in an Uncle Mike's pocket holster. The only issue with it is that it isn't stiff enough to keep the gun upright and in the correct position. My solution was to trim a piece of plastic (an expired membership card to something or other) to the correct size and shape to act as a reinforcement inside the bottom edge of the holster. A little super-glue to keep it in place is all it takes.

I also cut off the inner top seam of the holster and melted the edge to keep it from fraying. I did this because my j-frame has a hammer and it would sometimes hang up on the flap that formed the seam at the top of the holster. Shouldn't be a problem with your semiautomatic.

I would consider a leather holster if I came across one, but I paid $6 for my Uncle Mike's; pretty hard to beat.
