John - sorry, but what is a hip pocket? Front or back?

A 3" 360sc with Hogue Bantams on it in a Mika pocket holster. I'm very pleased with this combo and it carries very comfortably.

I had a 3" SP-101 that I pocket carried with a custom holster that I had, although it wouldn't fit in all of my pants, just some with deep pockets.

Does an ankle holster count? S&W 36-10. CTC grips. (Yeah, I know ... the holster's backwards. )

Hello chp,

indeed I used to carry a 3inch model 36 in the hip pocket of my leather hunting breeches. Wehn "it happened to me" and I'd rather clear leather as fast as poosible (charging wild hog and empty rifle), it did not work -.
Now I carry a three inch 686 or 696 in a Biachi 111 Cyclone or Sickinger G-man Holster but n e v e r in a pocket...

Best regards

Wisent

No, but I Mex a 3" M65 quite often.

I pocket carry 296 constantly.

2 1/2" 296

I pocket carry 296 constantly.

I also pocket carry a 296 constantly. Sometimes it is my primary and other times the bug.

I hate it when some one asks a question like this. The answer is not simple. Most gun writers will agree with me in that pocket carry the most complex and dangerous form of concealment. Complex in that there are so many variables: height and weight of the subject, material and cut of the pants, material of the pocket, size and opening, gun weight, counter balance point, gun noise movement. Dangerous in that miscalculation with some of these factors will either let everyone know you are carrying or if the need for you to draw your weapon comes you might not be able to draw the gun before you are dead.

I have. It was a 3" model13.
It was a pretty convienient place to put my weapon when I wanted both my hands free and there wasn't a holster.
It fit and stayed put in front or back jeans pocket.
I have a 4" N frame that gets slipped into a pocket occasionally as well.

 

[SAFireman]

big pockets?

gee...you must have some really big pockets. I can't seem to conceal a 3" K frame in mine....

It's far from being concealed.
The 4" N frame grip hangs out there completely, and the 3" tucks completely into a front jeans pocket.
A holster is much better. All I can say is that they'll fit... Not a preferred carry method... Pretty slow to pull out of the pocket too, for a revolver with the hammer spur.
I do like pocket carry better than mexican carry however.
I've hiked for miles with my 3" K frame in my back pocket.

Carried a M13 3" k-frame for years and loved it. Once I realized what that k-frame was worth, I sold it and went to sommething different.

 

[Sportsterguy]

My 3" 657 just don't seem to fit into my Levis well .

Not a fan of that form of carry and don't know any of my friends who do it.

 

[VAdoublegunner]

I can front pocket carry a 3" SP101 in most of my pants with deep pockets (e.g. khakis). I have a friend who sews reinforce the pockets with heavier fabric to keep from wearing holes in them. The more rounded contour and grip size of the SP works pretty well, but I can't easily do it with a K-frame.
