I really am not trying to crap on your video.
I must be watching a different vid. The guy I'm seeing is almost completely covered by the post. You see a pistol come up and shots off, but you dont see any part of the draw, which to me seems an important part of a pocket carry drawing and shooting vid.
Yes I see the holster fall out in both cuts, which is also an issue when talking about pocket carry. The whole reholstering aspect. I dont pocket carry so I dont know how often that happens but being able to reholster without having to pick up your holster off the ground bears talking about.
For a better shot of showing off your pocket drawing skills I might suggest a complete 180 view of where the camera was in that video.
The video I made several years back wasn’t to talk about how great pocket carry is. It was to track my improvement as a shooter.

The video wasn’t meant to highlight my pocket drawing skills. I posted it merely to show that it’s not some feat of magic to pocket carry a single stack 9/.40 of that size or to draw it.
As far as reholstering goes if you have to draw a pistol to either cover or fire at someone doing something that they shouldn’t be doing you shouldn’t be in such a hurry to reholster.
That’s still a dangerous situation.
Bad guys sometimes have friends. He or she may have ran away from the scene to reload, get friends or to gather their courage again.
Up to you, but I’m not putting my pistol away the second the shooting stops. I’ll reload, reassess, communicate with whoever I have with me and make sure that the police are actually on their way. Once police start to arrive I’ll worry about having my hands empty.
There’s also a bit of a learning curve in drawing on some pocket carry holsters to keep the holster in your pocket. At the time of that video (Feb 2015) I hadn’t learned that trick yet.
Once you clear the grip of the pistol from your pocket you drag the edge of the holster against the bottom edge of your pocket. I still end up pulling the holster out completely in order to reholster the pistol and then reinsert the whole thing back into the pocket like a wallet. At least you wouldn’t have to kneel down and pick it up after the shooting stops (presuming you’re alive and well enough to do so).
