Question about LH or RH pocket holster

**ray h** · August 19th, 2011, 08:43 PM

I just purchased and received a rear pocket holster. This is my first rear pocket holster. I am right handed and plan to carry my LCP in my right rear pocket but I accidently ordered a left hand holster. No problem, just send it back and reorder the correct one right? The problem is that I think I prefer the left handed holster when carried in my right pocket. It feels like its easier to draw from than it is when I draw it the way the holster was designed from my left pocket. It feels easier to draw with my right hand oriented as if I were grabbing my own ass as opposed to drawing with my palm facing away from my ass.

I know I have to decide for myself what works best for me, but I would appreciate some input from those with experience with rear pocket carry. Any rightys carry a lefty pocket holster (or vice versa).

Wait a minute....
The picture above is just like my holster, is it a right hand holster?
Thats funny, I accidently ordered a LH holster and I think they screwed up and sent me a RH holster.
It would seem that occasionally two wrongs do make a right.

How do you know? It looks like a RH holster to me. AFAIK, the full flap side should face out to better conceal the profile of the firearm that's in it.

After I got it I noticed that the package was labeled LH and then I double checked my Ebay order and it was for a LH, but the holster itself is apparently a RH. So it was packaged wrong but in the end, all is well.
