You guys who pocket carry your guns have a lot more faith in the cheeseball stitching and cloth used to make and attach pockets onto most of the jeans I have ever seen. I could never trust something like that to secure a gun. I would much rather have a good leather holster attached to a heavy leather belt. But hey, whatever gets you through the night.
Have you ever heard of "pocket holsters?" They make 'em, made for, of all things, carrying a gun in a pocket, go figure.
I carry mine in a cheap blackhawk number 4. It distributes the weight evenly, does not allow the barrel to punch a hole.

I guess my faves are Wrangler cargos, jeans and other materials. The pocket will ride down behind the cargo, especially when seated, helps disguise what's in there. Today, I'm wearing some cargos I picked up at Academy, brand escapes me, but they're very similar to Wranglers, good, deep pockets. I just stick my hand in a pocket when the pants are on the rack and I can tell if they'll work.
I HATE belt carry, cannot do that all day. There's really no way to do it except in the few coolish months down here. IWB bothers my love handles, too, and a T shirt, even long tailed, will blow up over the gun in a wind. Corpus has a lot of wind and humidity to go with the 100 degree summer heat. Belt carry just plain sux. Pockets are the only way for me. If I carry a bigger gun, it has to be a fanny pack.
Must be nice to live on the north slope where the temps never rise over 70 degrees and there is no humidity.
