100%Oh FFS. No, you are flat out wrong on this. You are viewing this situation emotionally without any logic.
Drawing a semi auto from a pocket holster in a hurry is no more dangerous than drawing from a hip holster in a hurry. You can shoot yourself either way if you get your finger on the trigger too soon. So don’t do that.
Furthermore, one of the great advantages of pocket carry is that you can put your hand in your pocket and grip the gun without anyone knowing, thus preparing yourself in the event that the situation goes south. In that case, you might draw it faster from your pocket than you could from a belt holster because you don’t have to first clear your cover garment and second grip your gun.
If you don’t believe me, try this. Get a semi-auto pocket pistol and a pocket holster. Verify that the gun is unloaded. Check it again. Put in the pocket holster and then in your pocket. Now start practicing draws. Do it a lot, fast and slow. You’ll find that not once have you accidentally pulled the trigger while drawing.
Depends on the size of your pocket and the weight of the fabric in your pants. Jeans typically have the smallest front pockets (even Carhartt, which has the biggest pockets of any jeans I've seen), and some dress pants are also on the small side. You get a lot of opinions and everybody thinks he is the most right of all. That said, here are my observations from experience:
For jeans, Ruger LCP2 or SIG 238 would be my best choice. The Glock 42 fits ok in my Carhartts, but not in my Levis.
For dress pants, my go-to is the Glock 42 or SIG 238. Or, for winter-weight wool pants, the SIG 938.
For cargo pants or loose khakis, SIG 938 or Glock 43.
I'm not a snob for those brands, if you have the same size Kimber Micro or Springfield 911 as the SIG, good on ya. I don't like the triggers on the LC9S or EC9s, but YMMV. As for the Smith Bodyguard, I believe it is the single worst-designed firearm that S&W have ever made.
Knife moves to back right pocket, keys clip to a belt loop on a carabiner.What are you guys doing with all your other EDC to free up an entire front pocket?
You need to get your hands on a Sig P365

Most pants have pockets that are inadequate for hipsters who carry nothing but an iPhone and their vape, let alone consequential items. My girlfriend dreads pants shopping with me because I’ll pass over 90% of the options because they won’t fit an iPhone and flashlight in the same pocket.My wife insists on shopping for clothes for me. Anytime she brings home pants I check the pocket depth before I even try them on. She finds me very annoying.
Add me to the list. PM9 with Desantis Super Fly pocket holster. Nice comfortable fit, no printing at all and a pretty smooth shooter considering it's small size!+1 for Kahr PM9....has a long heavy 7lbs double action trigger. little chance of accidental discharge.
Never understood these threads. Everyone is just gonna tell you what horrible gun they carry. You have no reference of how good they are at shooting, if they know what they are talking about etc.
A small synopsis on who you are and why you carry what you carry would be a bit more helpful and would cut down on worthless posts IMO.
Like "Hey I sell used cars. I carry a Sig P238 because the guy at the gun store marks that gun up a ton and knew he could sell me on it. I have been shooting 3x total in my life"
Or "Hey I work for Boston PD, when I am off duty I carry my backup gun in my coat pocket its a Glock 43. I shoot 2x a week, compete in USPSA, IDPA and have been involved in 2 defensive shootings over my career"
One of those carries some weight if I am looking for professional advice.. the other really doesn't.
That being said I am a Federal Officer, I compete in USPSA and IDPA with some success, and I wear pants that fit so I don't usually pocket carry. When I got to the gym I wear a Kimber K6 TLE 2" in my hoodie pocket.
Everything is available in MA.Wow I've never even heard of that!? I've been wanting to get a revolver for a while and that seems great. Are they available in MA?

Heck, I don't even like a Chapstick in my pocket.
Ah yes, another mysterious time when a gun "went off".Whichever ones doesn’t shoot you in the corner of your eye...
