Since I got my CC permit, Ive been trying out various ways to carry. I've settled on the front pocket, the S&W 32, 3" barrel has worked well in heavy carhart pants, it's a little heavy for light pants. I have a Taurus PT slim 9 ordered, I just wondered what you guys that carry front pocket what is your favorite ?

KelTec P32 in .32 ACP. The smallest, lightest .32 on the planet with 7 + 1 quick shots.

KelTec P3AT in a back pocket wallet style holster. Prints just like a wallet. Only issue is if your pocket isn’t deep enough to cover it and/or shirt tail not long enough then the grip would show. At 5’11”, I’m not a giant but shirts have slowly gotten shorter over the years. Not liking my belly button for the world to see every time I reach up I now shop in the tall section for shirts. 6+1.

Like the P32, no safety or slide lock. It’s a bare bones pistol. I believe the Ruger LCP and other similar ones have some amenities. But weigh more and cost more.

I carry a S&W 638 in a DeSantis sticky pocket holster. Inside my coat in the winter, and in my front pocket when it is shorts weather.

I love my S&W 638, but I just haven't found a suitable method of carry. I have a Safariland inside the waist band holster, and for me, it is just uncomfortable. I might look at a shoulder holster.

My pocket carry pistol is a Ruger LCP. I put it in a sticky type pocket sleeve

Ruger LCPII comes with a pocket holster.

I'm liking this one. It's about as big as I'd want to go in the front pocket. 7+1, 9mm.

Glock Model 43 in a pocket holster. Outside sticks to your pocket when you draw the pistol.

2 shot .22 magnum derringer, undetectable. It may not kill him but he will be easier to fight with two collapsed lungs.

It's all in how you use it. .22 derringer is a close up weapon, that being so you shove it hard into your assailants flesh, gut is best, pull the trigger and give them both the bullet and the expanding gas behind it. Doing that you might as well have shot him with a .357 from across the room.

Ruger LCP II 380 with the pocket holster that comes with it. Works real well.

Ruger KLCR 357 fits most of my front pockets . For when you do have to shoot from across the room

I’ll be looking at one of these in the near future. How bad is the kick?

I normally dress out with a 1911 on my right hip, but if I am in a hurry, I will drop this in my pocket. Not the front pocket but the rear pocket, butt up. cover up with a tee shirt and I am good to go. Five shots of hot hollow-points will make the meanest man docile.

My preferred summer gun. CCI mini mags do well in these. Round nose lead not recommended.
