What are your thoughts on pocket carry?

[MRH]

I believe in pocket carry, but I have yet to find a true pocket gun that I really like, unless you consider a S&W snubnose .38 Airweight a pocket gun. It is for me, sometimes, but I usually keep it IWB. The butt barely sticks out over the waistline and it is very comfortable in comparison to some others. No print whatsoever. I use a Desantis IWB holster that is excellent. I carry it more than any other gun these days, and not only because it is light and easy. It is also a good little gun and accurate, so I feel fairly confident with it. Would I rather carry my G19? For capacity, yes, definitely. For anything else, not necessarily. The 19 is probably a bit more accurate but I can shoot this little revolver quite well, by my standards. The double action trigger is nice too, for a double action. A speed loader in the pocket is also easy. That's my current take on it. YMMV and in due time mine will too. I'm sure of it.

Or maybe a 26? Recently, I change from a 19. The 26 is sporting +2 extensions and I have some how managed to group better with the 26 over the 19?

I have met many that shoot sub compact pistols better than their fullsize counterparts.

Thanks, very good read. It explains a lot of what I'm seeing.

Yeah, it def makes sense. I am young and dont have "old eyes" but can still shoot a g26 as tight as any other pistol. A g26 rocks!!! Very versatile size pistol.

Ruger LCP Custom in a Tagua pocket holster, it also works surprisingly well when tucked into the waistband if you want/need to.

Glock 42 or occasionally a Smith M36.

I use Desantis Nemesis pocket holsters and they work well.

Very vigilant about NEVER carrying anything else in that pocket except for the gun.

Very confident feeling while walking casually through a parking lot, pumping gas, entering a store etc. with your hand in your pocket on the grip and no one is the wiser.

Need to practice the draw and also what I call "the wipe" in case you accidentally pull the holster out with the gun. Not really an issue with the Nemesis but I had issues with other inferior pocket holsters back in the day.

If it shoots better roll with it, but it seems to me a 26 w/mag extensions is the same as a short barreled 19.
