Pocket carry - Snub vs. 9mm auto

[HighVelocity]

I alternate between my 340PD and my MK9. It really depends on what I'm wearing. If I am wearing jeans or heavy shorts that will support the weight of the MK9 then I prefer that. If I'm wearing slacks or lightweight shorts than the 12oz 340PD is more suitable for the job.

The ONLY reasons I prefer the MK9 over the 340PD overall are the sights and speed of reload.

I have a titanium Taurus 85 that is my pocket right now. I use a Kramer pocket holster or a Galco ankle glove. If I can get by with more gun I carry a Glock 26 on the ankle or the belt. I like the snubbie for pocket carry because the grip shape is easier to draw from a pocket than the grip shape of a semi. I also have crimson trace laser grips on my snubbie. Sometimes I think about a PM9, but it's hard to beat the confidence I have in the snubbie, and the snubbie will continue to shoot even if the muzzle is pressed against a bad guy's body, while the semi may or may not. I do also have a Kel-Tec P32, which is great for concealment, but I do have some concerns about reliability and caliber.

I usually carry my Taurus PT-145 in pocket carry situations. When I can't the KelTec P-11 in 9mm or my 2.5" hammerless Ruger SP-101 in .357mag works quite well.
