If I put my SP101 in one of my pockets, it would be pulling my pants down. Sorry, but two SP101s are way, way, way, way, WAY too heavy for me.I have no problems carrying an SP101 in each pocket.

I've got a top notch belt -- custom Alessi.You just need the right kind and size of pocket and a good belt.

642 is much lighter than an SP101. 15 oz versus around 25 oz.
Does anyone have any information for some local training in the MetroWest region on this subject?
Wow! what a great topic. I myself have been moving towards the pocket carry option for my J-frame.
I also noticed some people who carry this way have a tendency to carry speed loaders or strips. I personally do not do so yet due to lack of knowledge or experience and recognize the need to get some training for pocket carry.

Thanks, but I already took that class. I'm looking more specifically for any training mostly pertaining to carrying snubbies.
I can hardly master my 642 with .38 +P. No way I would try a lighter .357 -- those are just ways to turn money into recoil.Don't want to rain on anyone's parade here but here's a question: Can you shoot those sub-15oz. fire-breathers? One can not underemphasize the need for practice with super lightweight handguns. In my case, I just could not master the 360 Scandium/Titanium and was not confident carrying it. YMMV
F*ck, NO!Can you shoot those sub-15oz. fire-breathers?

Good grief, the sadist even ADMITS to inflicting that beast on unsuspecting shooters!!On at least a half-dozen occasions, I have given my loaded 360 to someone to try and received it back with three unfired rounds.
The first shot produced a pain so exquisite that they just HAVE to take one more to see if it really did hurt that bad.
I thought about asking to try it at the pumpkin shoot, but I didn't see any 38 special rounds nearby. Watching others shoot 357s out of it was painful enough
I have tried other "pocket" guns, but I will stick to my j frame. Here are what I have tried:
Seecamp .32: heavy for it's size, hard to shoot (does not fit my hand at all), ammo picky, and I cannot hit anything with it. Also underpowered.
Kel Tec P3AT .380: feels like a toy, must be kept very clean, mine would consistently malfunction after 20 - 25 rds. Also underpowered.
Sig 230, 232 & Walther PPKS .380: Very heavy for what they are, reliable, but underpowered, only a couple more rounds then the j frame.
AMT Back up .45: Big, clunky, inaccurate & unreliable
Glock 26/27: just too big (for me) to pocket carry every day.
Beretta Tomcat .32: I actually like this pistol. Fits my hand pretty well. Reliable, but under powered.
Charter Arms Bulldog .44: Mine is very old with a 2" barrel. Actually carries nicely. Accurate. Mine rattles and scares me. Best left in the safe.
