If you're carrying a double action pistol with a relatively long and heavy trigger pull, you will probably get away with this. But if you're carrying a striker fired pistol with a lighter trigger, you're asking for trouble.

Still, without a holster you are likely to subject your gun to unnecessary body salts and sweat. This will definitely rust your gun.

A proper holster will keep the gun clean while protecting from rust, pocket lint and other debris that can stop the gun from firing when you want it to.

Get a holster with a metal clip or leather belt snap and these are quick to put on and off. I would only go without a holster in an emergency.
