I carry a matched set in my two front pockets and almost forget they are there most of the time.
Shorts and a T-shirt carry!! Here's what my four pants pockets almost always look like.

would really like to go this route but price may be a determining factor for now.

What's that in the bottom right?

Hi Standard double action, two shot .22 mag derringer in a wallet holster. Some prick gets the jump on me and wants my wallet, he's getting two powder burns on his chest instead. Strictly a belly gun.

Crazy looking gun. Had never seen one of these before.

LCP is very uncomfortable to shoot.

Bought my wife a lightweight hammerless S & W 5 shot .38 Spcl revolver. Had the trigger/hammer reworked for a lighter pull. It is light weight, has an easy double action trigger pull and my wife shoots it as well as she shoots her Smith Mod 49. She has arthritis and cannot rack the slide on a semi auto well enough to make the gun worthwhile if she needs it. She shot the S&W bodyguard double action to qualify for her Concealed Handgun License and shot the highest score in her class. For lightweight concealed carry, many people prefer a hammerless revolver because it is almost impossible to snag the revolver on your clothing or your pocket and reaction time to the first shot is fast even compared to a semi auto that you have to remove the safety before firing. No safety on the revolver. If weight in not a factor, the HK P7 is a nice pistol for carry.

I carry a 938, and usually a Colt vest-pocket .25acp

I used to be in the know and up to date on the latest greatest toys, but I just don't care anymore. I usually carry a glock 23. But not something you can stuff in shorts or sweats pockets.

Tired of bumping into people off duty that I had to deal with at work and being unarmed cause I wore sweats that day

Throw some idea at me

Red,
Look @ the new Double Tap pistol. It is exactly what you are looking for. You can switch barrels between 9mm and 45 acp... And its like 8 ounces, about the size of a deck of cards.

Take it you didn't read any of the other posts before writing that?

I did not pull the trigger twice, I'm nowhere near that mad at paper. It might even be more comfortable to punch a steel plate than shoot that thing.

So, what you are already "carrying" in your shorts




How did we let that go that long without a shot like this? We are slipping

Some good suggestions in here so far. Those little wallet holsters that WFM posted are the shit, they make one for the LCP (should fit the TCP too) as well and that would be my first choice. The 642 is an awesome option, but you will have to put it in some sort of holster/sleeve if you don't want to print. The Glock 42 is a badass little gun, had a hard time not buying the first one to come across our shelf.

Have a little Raven 25 auto.
It goes bang and would hurt a little if hit someone got shot with it. Probably just piss em off good.

Back in the day they called it a Saturday Night Special because you could buy one for $25 or less.

I worked with a guy who had a tailor line all of his front pockets with a heavy cotton fabric that hid his pair of S&W model 642 .38's. He usually also carried a couple of other guns, but the .38's were always there.
I use the cheap Uncle Mikes fabric holsters and cut all mounting clips off of them for my matched pair of model 642's. The holsters ALWAYS stay in my front pockets when the pistols are drawn. Something about the holster fabric that "sticks" to the inside of the pockets.

Check this one out, just came across it yesterday. Curved to hide printing and also has a tab to push off with using your thumb. Allows you to break retention before you draw or possibly push it off should the holster come out. Just ordered one so will find out. Only fear is the holster will always want to come out unless you push off the thumb tab

Theres a company, cant remember who, that makes a front pocket holster that the outside is some kind of fabric that kind of "sticks" to the inside of your pocket. Might have been DeSantis.

Its the super fly!

Bless your heart

I carry the 938 in a Superfly or a Galco ankle rig

This will fit in nicely.

i carry my TCP in a blackhawk pocket holster when at home (i do plan on getting a nemisis pocket holster. it covors less of the grip for a smoother draw). even in pj pants, it doesnt pull them down. the only issue i have run into is having to modify my grip some while shooting as to not hit the slide lock during the recoil. besides that, i have had no issues and am really liking this little $200 gun. not to mention you cant find a magazine anywhere for it and it only comes with 1.

Taurus??? That's like hunting ducks with a mossberg

Gonna wait til I can fondle a glock 42. Have played with the LCP and bodyguard already

Awesome?

Don't waste your time.

Shot it. Wasn't impressed. Accuracy was marginal, which is saying a lot for a gun that needs to be able to punch holes at 15 feet.

ive heard the opposite from a guy at work

Maybe it was just the one I shot.
Maybe I'm comparing it to my 938.
But I wasn't impressed.

I'm also not a lover of the Glock.

That's cause 938 is a bad ass little weapon. Been carrying the 642 I picked up in a cheap pair of basketball shorts all day. Hasn't bothered me a bit and doesn't print near enough to even consider there is a gun in my pocket. Very pleased with the feel of the grip and how smooth it draws from my pocket. WFM has it figured out for a pocket gun.

Anyone have any experience with one of these?

I'm thinking of leaning more towards Assa's medium theory and get two guns, a small carry gun, and then something larger for in the woods etc
