I've pocket carried with some 5.11 pants without any issues. Normally I pocket carry with my Ruger LCR (357). The XDS was just as comfortable + reloads are much faster. I had several people shoot the XDS when I qualified. Two of the guys carry a Glock 23 and one carries a 27. All three liked the recoil of the XDS over the Glocks. The only issue I've had is the department issues 40 cal ammo so I have to purchase the department specified ammo to continue to carry the XDS. I can't say the XDS recoils any less, but it is a different type of recoil. Not sure I can explain that, but follow up shots seem faster with the XDS.
