    Default Pocket Pistol?

    Kicking around the idea of picking up another pistol that i could pocket carry. I think I would carry in more places if i had a gun to throw in my pocket that was convenient. I was thinking something like a ruger lcr in .357. Anyone pocket carry this? Also wondering about an xds. Let me know any opinions, suggestions you guys have. I currently own and carry a full size xdm in 9mm, and an xd .45 compact in a crossbreed supertuck. I also have a super redhawk Alaskan in .44 mag as far as handguns go, but i obviously dont conceal that haha. I was not sold on any one the .380 guns because I have fairly large hands, and they are expensive to shoot/iv heard about lots of reliability issues. So, what are your suggestions/ current set ups for pocket carry?

    I am about to give you the best advice possible: try before you buy.

    We are all different and there are lots of variations out there in the market. Shoot it before you buy it. That is all.

    I have a lcr 357. It's a little bulky to throw in your pocket and carry all day comfortably. Just my opinion though.

    pocket carry, the lcp can't be beat. if you're hands are too big though, i guess it wouldn't work for you. i carry my p238 sometimes too, but i don't like pocket carrying a single action. xds too large for pocket, and i have yet to find a revolver that is comfortable for pocket carry. as mentioned, go handle them all! how about the lc9 ?

    I don't pocket carry often. I have too much stuff in my pockets. But sometimes it's the only way to carry. When I do it's a S&W 642 in a Mika pocket holster.
    Make sure your pants have deep pockets. Some of the cheap jeans sold today don't.

    I pocket carry a Ruger LC9. Its a great little gun.

    I agree with the previous poster who gave the advice to try before you buy.

    The LC9 has a rather long trigger pull that many do not like. I read about it in reviews, so I tried it before I bought it.

    Ya gotta be a big boy (or girl, just being PC...LOL) to pocket carry a G26.......G26 is my EDC but, pocket carry would be like putting a brick in my pants.
