POCKET CARRY SUGGESTIONS (CLOTHING & HOLSTER BRANDS) FOR EDC - CCW

For the last couple years I have pocket carried a Taurus GX4 in a DeSantis Nemesis V5. I have previously carried a CZ Rami and a Ruger LC9S in the same holster. The holster is probably close to 10 years old and still holding up well.

The pockets of SOME Wrangler jeans are deep enough to pocket carry. Some models are not. I can also pocket carry (barely) in Carhartt work pants, and those cheapo store brand jeans from Academy. My wife has forbidden me to buy any more of the Academy jeans, though. She says they look like "old man" jeans. Well, I'm not exactly a youngster any more.

Plus 3 on DeSantis Nemesis, I have several...
That said, I have returned to my M36 in a Nemesis.
I did carry my now sold SIG 365 in one as well, but a
a disturbing issue arose, My 365 was Apr, 2019 build date.
Supposably, after the broken firing pin issues were addressed.
But, non the less, my gun was sent back for that very issue in June "19".
Returned repaired under warrenty.
Then in Jan. of this year, after a range outing and 2 weeks CCW.
I discovered the pin had broken again. What was most disturbing?
was I was unaware until the next range trip, and the gun failed to fire.
I carried it almost two weeks in an inoperable condition.
Not only DISTURBING but now I have no confidence, so it was again sent to SIG, repaired and SOLD.

I have carried the S&W Mod 36 since 2009 , and now again,
I have also placed an order for 642 Performance Ctn. an it will be carried in a Nemesis.

I have said it before in other pocket carry discussions, but I will mention Wright holsters as my favorite. I have a couple for larger than normal pocket carry handguns, and a third one on the way. They work fine for me.
 
Vedder Pocket Locker will carry a Kahr K9, Sig P938, Ruger LCP just fine. I really like the solid protection of the triggers on all, the shield for the thumb safeties on the Sig. They do not abrade the gun, or put any chemical on it. The don't 'show'. They wear well, stay in your pocket when you pull the gun out and I can feel confident even with little kids standing/sitting on my lap.

Thank you for sharing.

Please don't misunderstand, SIG has a sweet gun in the 365.
It's just the early intro guns, 2018 -19.
I understand the next generation addressed the issue,
supposed to have had in my gun.

Any good shorts out there that don't have cargo pockets? I've got some blue ones from uniforms I used to wear, but now I'm retired and navy blue is no longer my thing.
 
I used to like the soft holsters until I tried an Alabama now I'll never go back. The added safety and retention is crucial.

I do not pocket carry often but have quite a few holsters. This inexpensive Barsony holster (less than $20) works very well. Not bulky. Stays in pocket.
