Quit worrying about the pockets m. Get pants with a waist 2” bigger than you normally wear. Get a good belt and a Summer Special style holster.

I carry a 3” K-frame all the time in the 2:00 position. I have two belts (fortunately I wear jeans to work.). A 5.11 operator and a Wilderness Mountain instructor. One for my jeans, one for my cargos.

It conceals under a T-shirt. Unlike 4:00 holsters, the butt doesn’t protrude when I bend over and everything stays put. Taking it on or off FFL takes about five more seconds than shoving a pistol in your pocket.

I still feel a bit slobbish wearing my shirt tails out, I was raised in a strict “tuck it in!” Household. Fortunately un-tucked is the style these days.

That solved the need for a “pocket gun” for me.
