IWB XDs 3.3 in .45

Not happening considering the size of my muffin top.

...
I know the feeling

I have a pocket holster with a sig 938, and pocket holster with an SP101. both comfortable in cargo shorts with deeper pockets.
PM me if you ever want to try it out.

I would carry a Springfield XDS in 45acp.   It definitely fits in the pocket  and is quite thin and compact (3.3 inch barrel).    And with 5+1 of 45 goodness, it can stop almost anything.   Striker fired, compact and powerful.  What's not to like?

PPK

The more things change, the more they remain the same.  And I can put a whole magazine from mine (S&W made) into 4" at 25 yds.

For me (at 5'9", 150lbs), the biggest thing I can pocket-carry is my Ruger LC9. If I were doing it every day, I would get something smaller and lighter, probably a LCP.

You have good taste.

PPK 007

This is still new and no reviews yet but I'm interested in the Tarus Curve as a pocket gun.

but it's not reloadable!

Having read this entire thread and carefully considering the matter I've come to this conclusion: The answer isn't smaller guns. We need bigger pockets.

Full frame 1911, with 10 round mags.   

I wanted a PPK but it was pricey and out of stock.

I went with the S&W Shield in 9mm.
Fits nice in the hand.
(I know Mac.....that's what she said  )

Fits pretty comfortably in the side cargo pocket of my shorts but not a front pocket gun.

Very thin which is key as KK mentioned.

The answer isn't smaller guns. We need bigger pockets.

Miss seeing you at the GTG's a'hound.

I keep seeing those "Sneaky Pete" holsters in American Rifleman.  Sort of look like a phone case or such.  Obviously need a very thin gun to work, a Glock need not apply.

What i like is you can slip it on with whatever you are wearing, no pocket issues.  Wonder though if they are already a known spot to ID for sidearm carry by those looking.

I would use my S&W 642.  It may only hold 5, but I have no issues controlling a .38 special +p out of it.

They do make these for several Glocks ...




I think the majority of anti-gun ranters who don't know enough about any gun topics would be fooled by this completely.  Unless they or someone they know has one, the closest they would come to finding out is to ask what kind of smartphone you have so they can brag about their new iPhone!

CON:  Go to the website and see how much of the pistol is covered by the holster.  It covers the end of the grip and 2/3 or more of the trigger area.  That gives little room for a solid purchase if you have to draw quickly.

Maybe as an "occasional" holster when nothing else works would be okay.  But I wouldn't use this as an everyday carry holster.

Look at some reviews on those sneaky petes,  they are HUGE. looks akward to me. JMHO

I hear you.  Might work for a little Baby Browning .25ACP, but heck, if I had such a thing, why would I need a holster?
