pocket carry size limit

[GAgunLAWbooklet]

What's the biggest gun you can comfortably pocket carry?

I've enjoyed carrying a J-frame .38 snub in a cheap fake suede (nylon) Uncle Mike's holster.

Now I've just modified a similar clip-on IWB holster from Uncle Mikes (I cut the plastic belt clip off) and will start carrying my Taurus Millennium PT-111 G2 in my pocket of most of my pants. I have some dress slacks whose pockets will not be large enough to accommodate this double stack 9 mm with a 12 round magazine and which has a pinky extension baseplate. but I've got several pairs of walking shorts, loose fitting jeans, and casual dockers and other pants that ought to work for a gun this size.

Does anybody else carry a compact 9 mm --with a staggered magazine --in their pocket ?

I am thinking that a different gun-- something like the Smith & Wesson Shield --would be a better fit. Maybe a Kahr CW9. Something slimmer and with a shorter grip and flush-fit mag baseplate.
But I don't own one of those!
So I'm going to work with what I've got, and test it for a week and see how I like it.

Glock 42 . Any bigger and I’m simply going another direction.

I've started carrying my Millenium G2 in an inside the waistband kydex holster, cover it with untucked shirt, much easier to put in play than fumbling around in a pocket for it.

Again, sig 239. Alien Gear IWB

I have WAY too much pocket junk to try to put a firearm in there, too. I HAVE tried with a S&W Shield, a Glock 42, and both a Sig 238 and 938. The last three were fine in a pocket, but the Shield was a little big for me. AND I had to rearrange my pockets. Old dog/new trick. I figured that an IWB holster was better for me, AND I could carry a larger handgun.

I can’t pocket carry at all, must be the skinny jeans

Nylon /poly athletic shorts seemed to hold it O.K. when I was
standing or walking, but when sitting the butt sticks out of the pocket.
It isn't obvious to others that it's a gun, but it doesn't feel secure.

Same here. Tried a G43 - no go.

Yep. It’s just barely long enough to not fit in my cargo pocket . I’ve carried a Glock 42 there for years now. Never an issue
