Pocket Carry Revolver? - Page 3

dahermit · April 22, 2017, 08:53 AM

I pocket carry year around. Either my S&W 36 or my Taurus 85, both in a Bianchi pocket holster...one of the best, albeit cheapest pocket holsters available.

Here is the M36 in the Bianchi pocket holster:

I have been using two of these very inexpensive holsters for many years now, and they still work perfectly. They cost a little more than twenty bucks...or you can buy the more expensive brand and have about the same thing.

Been carrying this Pinnacle custom S&W 360J 9mm/.38spl convertible going on 9 years now. It gets pocket carried regularly - front pocket, back pocket, cargo pocket, jacket pocket - drop it in and go, sometimes primary, sometimes back up.

Ruger GP-100-three inch barrel .357 Magnum. {right side blue jeans pocket 24/7)

What kind of jeans do you wear?

baddarryl · April 22, 2017, 11:20 PM

642 in front pocket. Too tall for rear pocket carry for me, but I have no problem in front with somewhat baggy pants. Even jeans and I am 5"8".

I have wondered about this talk of pocket carry and have been observing that guys with a belly and pants fitted to it have pants that are quite baggy below the waist. So mention of how pocket carry is so easy has a context of being older and/or overweight. We'll still have to wonder about keeping their pants up with a substantial gun, big wallet, knife, keys, phone, and all the other stuff weighing them down.

S&W 640-1 357 with Crimson Trace Laser Grips, with a Desantis Pocket Holster. I carry it in my right front pocket when I am wearing Cargo Type Shorts I also carry a 5 round reload in my left pocket in warm weather. Is the best choice for me that I have found and it is also the fastest. I wear a good quality heavy belt, to keep my shorts where they belong.

I just stuck a S&W 60 with small carry grips in my jeans pocket.
There is absolutely no way I would attempt to carry it or an alloy framed .38 revolver that way.

I've carried my S&W 631 .32H&R Magnum in a coat or jacket or heavy jacket pocket. In summer with shorts and T-Shirt (hard to conceal much) I carry an NAA Mini .22LR loaded with either CCI Stingers or Mini Mags. Way better than nothing at belly to belly distances.

But I usually carry an SA 1911 Ultra Compact .45ACP.

I don't carry a revolver all that often, but when I do, it's a Ruger LCR.

642 because it's about the smallest, I think S&W makes one a little lighter but it's big bucks, above my pay grade. I can carry in jeans pocket if Levis relaxed, won't go in my Wranglers. I'm gonna try relaxed Wranglers, they may have larger pockets.

Dave Chuppa · April 30, 2017, 04:53 PM

I Pocket carry a 442 S&W every day.

Ruger LCR-X (with hammer) in .38. I use a pocket holster.
