Back when I carried my BodyGuard with no holster, I was always extremely careful not to put anything in my front right pocket with it! Very paranoid about that. I can see how its possible to be a problem.

What are your thoughts on pocket carry?

Of all the pocket .380's out there the Bodyguard has prolly the stiffest trigger of them all, I had a difficult time pulling it intentionally LOL. I would still use a pocket holster though.
We make a trigger guard cover that works great for Pocket carry. It's called the Skinny.

Used to pocket carry a little S&W .380 bodyguard, during really hot days and when I was places I didn't want to print. I carried it with one in the chamber, on safe. Now being a double action it would take a significant pull of the trigger to set it off. My buddy used to give me hell about the way I carried it. But I never had a issue. I been carrying a 9mm USP compact in a Holster for awhile now. Its that time of year again when its really hot. I picked up a Kimber Micro Carry on sale for $480.00 yesterday and been considering pocket carry again. Problem I see is the gun is not DA. So one in the pipe with hammer back and on safe, with light trigger pull concerns me. I'm considering a pocket holsters. Additionally before this thread turns into a caliber war. Look into Hornady .380 Auto .90Gr FTX before you start guessing about what you think you know about 9mm and .380 being affective for carry. Its not 1986.
Thoughts? Recommendations? on pocket carry, holster? no holster?
I love the size, fits perfect in my pocket
Size comparison
Thanks D
Very NICE Kimber I like it. I use a Smith n Wesson Model 36, Snubnose or a Berretta PX- 4, subcompact. My, wife use a S&W Police Chief Special or Bersa .380. I think that you should use what ever YOU feel most comfortable with!! Just, my opinion.
Sig P938 with a Sticky pocket holster.
I have carried basically the same pistol (A Sig 238) in my front pocket for at least 5 years, I carry it in a simple Blackhawk sticky holster.
have carried other pistols in the front pocket for many years as well.
it is of course carried cocked and locked and the Blackhawk covers the trigger.
I fear no more (actually less) about the weapon discharging than I do when I carry a 1911 on my hip.
the reason that I use a pocket holster is to keep the weapon in the correct position to draw and put into use, not because it might go off.
a pocket pistol that's upside down, muzzle pointing in the wrong direction or sliding around isn't going to work for me.
we all have our comfort levels.
as mentioned nothing should be carried in the carry pocket other than the weapon/holster, not so much because its going to cause the weapon to fire as much as it getting stuck behind the trigger or in the trigger guard making the weapon useless if needed.
