Not a Police Officer. Just prepared.When on duty I take it?
Check out MIKA holsters. Holster stays in pocket on the draw and you can easily reholster without removing the holster from your pocket. They’re easy on the wallet too.I’ve occasionally pocket carried. Usually an old 642 in a homemade leather holster.

And. It worked pretty well.
Decided to try my P365. Ordered a couple holsters.

The first is made by J&J. The back part is a flap, hinged at the bottom, so you can slip your hand around the grip.

Beautifully made. Great quality.
In a pair of 5-11 cargo shorts, it looked like a laptop in my pocket. Just huge. I returned it.
The second problem with the J&J and the Desantis, is once I get a firing grip on the gun, it ain’t coming out. It’s the monkey making a fist in the jar problem.
For you folks that actually pocket carry anything larger than a KelTec. A Ruger .380. Seecamp, an J frame…etc. how in the hell do you actually get a firing grip on the gun AND get your hand out of the pocket?
While bitching to a buddy, he has a friend that swears by these.

The concept impressed me enough to order a couple pairs of shorts. My opinion of them to be posted later.
I usually Appendix carry. But, I occasionally like to tuck in my shirt. This May be an option.
If anyone has any experience, let me know. (Probably should have asked before ordering them..oh well)
Yep. I don’t overthink pocket carry either. It just fits my lifestyle, and I live on the upper gulf coast so 9 months out of the year we have but one season: humidity. The other three months are wetter.Won’t lie, pocket carry is a convience chiice for me. I keep it simple and dont think too much about it.
I carry a j-frame with a boot grip in a pocket of my jeans.
The J-frame, although chunkier than my P365, disappears in a way the bigger pistol cannot, where most unobservant schmoes won’t notice, or won’t tumble to it even if they do notice the lump there.
I stick it in a cheap uncle mikes holster before it goes in the pocket. It basically has zero retention. The gun fills the holster such that if i draw it will stay in the pocket or fall away as i clear it. It’s almost too big for it. Getting a grip on the gun is no problem.
These are my guns, holster, and method of draw.I can easily get a full firing grip on my Glock 42 carried in an Alabama pocket holster in the front pocket of my Lee jeans. The bottom 3 fingers can be used to push off the holster for the draw and it is presented with a full firing grip. The gun does have Ameriglo Agent sights, and I rock the gun back a little on the draw just to be sure that the rear sight does not snag on the pants. The junky stock sights would present less of a possible issue in that regard. (File photo. The wallet is just to show scale.)

I have the same holster for a Sig P365-380. I can get a full firing grip, but the gun is a bit clunkier and not as smooth on the draw.
