Pocket carry................ - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

This is mainly for guys that pocket carry a snubbie, hammerless revolver. Do you guys put it in a pocket holster or do you just slip it into your pocket naked. I don't feel comfortable carrying any of my subcompact GLOCKs without them being in a holster in my pocket. I may feel a little more comfortable with my snubbie lose in a pocket. What do you guys think?

Can't go wrong with a High

Correct me if I'm wrong but itsnt the point of the pocket gun so you can shoot through your jacket? How can you do this if the gun is in a holster?

I have a holster but it makes the gun more bulky in the pocket. I guess in the interest of safety I should holster it. But I would still like to hear some other opinions.

Dude, get a holster. I carry mine in a cheapo $10 Unkle Mike's and it's nothing but a thin piece of nylon that keeps the gun upright in the pocket and keeps lint out of the action. It doesn't add any bulk, it makes the gun more comfortable and reduces the 'print' of the gun.

And no, the purpose of a pocket gun is not to shoot through the pocket.

I'd have to be a lot more bendy than I am now to shoot someone through my jeans pocket without hurting myself.

+1 on the Uncle Mike's. I have one for my S&W 642. More comfortable, cheap, and no revolver pattern through my pants. Way to go.

Always in a holster. You can get a very good one from Robert Mika for about $22.00 shipped.

I would strongly suggest you never pocket a loaded, unholstered gun...

Pocket holsters are there just to cover the trigger, and dont add much bulk (girth?) to the gun.
