Pocket Carry - Which gun?

I only pocket carry a few times a year, when I'm not wearing my Redwings.
My Seecamp 32 ACP comes off my ankle and in my pocket.

Four years now I have been carrying my LCP in a wallet holster... back pocket carry. It go's near everywhere with me.
isn't sitting uncomfortable?
I carry a Seecamp now. I prefer it in the pocket over everything else- disappears. I know many don't like the .32 acp but the size makes it a trade off I can live with...
Prior to that I was carrying a Keltec P3AT in my pocket on occasion....

I have put over 400 commercial rounds of all type through a new this year m&p bg380 and never have had a fte or ftf and it the action has always stayed open on the last round
however with my hand loads I do have the occasional light strike but I'm 99% sure that is the cheap import primers I was using from cabelas (you get what you pay for 2.39/100)
i forget that it's in my pocket most of the time. I would recommend it for sure

For real. And if you sit in that position long enough (long road trip with a fat wallet in one hip pocket) it can screw up your back something awful.
I have tried all modes of carry over the years, and any type of pocket carry is off my list unless it's a BUG in an inside coat pocket mid-winter. And that role too, is filled by the LCP if I decide to carry a BUG.
Women's slacks, seriously? I am not sure you can even fit a drivers license in those pockets. I thought they were more for decoration than for actually holding stuff. Appendix carry or belly band seem to work well for the ladies.
I picked up one of the S&W J frame 360j models (non catalog Scadium, 38 special only). It's become my "lazy" gun when I don't feel like throwing on a holster. I like it, and they are cheap. I had a p238, but I found .380 annoying and expensive to find and I had no interest in reloading it.
A few years ago .380 ammo was scarce and expensive. I didn't buy one then for that exact reason. Now it is as plentiful as anything else, well maybe not quite like 9mm, and the prices have come down significantly. Not sure what happened except maybe it took the ammo manufacturers a little time to catch up with the surge in .380 pocket gun sales so there was shortage. Just a guess.
I have a Body Guard non laser that I picked up a couple weeks ago. So far it works well in most of my shorts pockets. It is still a bit large for not printing in some of my attire. I don't wear very baggy clothing. In pretty much all cases though, I don't give a crap about printing... Except at work. It was a bit of an impulse buy because I really want an LCP custom but they aren't very easy to come by in MA... The BG is doing the job well for now though as I am carrying in my summer attire more than I was before owning it.
I had it made for me by Bear Creek Holsters. Doug does a fantastic job and has awesome customer service. http://www.bearcreekholsters.com/ He has may exotic leathers in many colors to accent. Check out the gallery pictures of his work.
No it really isn't uncomfortable to sit. It balances out my wallet on the other side. Although when I'm wearing my cargo shorts I move it to the side cargo pocket. The only time I'm not carrying in this holster is when I am in my dress slacks, then I am using a DeSantis IWB holster. After four years back pocket carry kinda feels natural... weird without it.

I regularly carry a Kahr PM9. Great for pocket carry or appendix carry. With the right holster, it just vanishes.
BG380. About 200 rounds through it in less than a week that I've had it, including 50 JHP and didn't skip a beat. I like to know my carry gun will go bang.
I think the trigger is better than my stock 637 and it is smaller and carries easily in a professional environment.

DeSantis Superfly for pocket carry. High Noon Upper Cut for appendix carry.

You need bigger pockets. I pocket carry a 938 and before that a LC9. Get cargo style pants and shorts with deep pockets.
442 disappears in my pocket because of the rounded lines of a revolver. I dress around my gun and always Make sure to buy pants with deep pockets.
