Does anybody out there carry a backup gun in a front pants pocket while in uniform? As far as I know, none of my coworkers does this. Before I had a pocket holster for any of my small frame revolvers (which was many years, I'm sorry to say) I had never considered pocket carry while on duty. I even go so far as to sew pockets on the front of my vest carriers but this probably isn't necessary for a J Frame and is way too slow. Can anybody think of any disadvantages to pocket carry? If I did this, it would be a J Frame in the weak side pants pocket. My weak hand isn't all that weak and sees lots of practice. I'm pretty sure my hand would constantly end up in the pocket and some would claim it looks unprofessional. I have never much cared about perception, so I'm wondering if there are any other potential negatives.
