Does anyone Pocket carry the Shield?

Is that a Shield in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

That did cross my mind.

Wouldn't be a problem if I was wearing a rain coat.

I have a 380 Shield EZ that I carry in my front pants pocket. I pocket carry with a Uncle Mike's model 36 holster that doesn't
print.

If you want pocket carry, get a Kahr CM or PM 9.

Now "that's" what I'm talking about........

I've carried my Shield 9 in a cheap Uncle Mike's pocket holster in my right front pocket for over a year with no problems or anybody ID'ing it.

A .45 Shield in a Desantis pocket holster is part of my carry rotation. Why? Because I can!

Too big and bulky + low capacity. I couldn't sell mine fast enough. Rite back to the 9c aiwb... CAPACITY...

If I'm wearing my NRA field jacket it goes in the inside pocket.

MHO, it's a great gun for IWB, but a tad large for a pants pocket. Would it fit? Yeah, it probably would, but it sure wouldn't be handy. Cargo pocket, jacket pocket, maybe.

Like pocket carry with my Shield

I often pocket carry my Shield 9 PC in a Blackhawk holster. If I'm going to be sitting (like driving a lot) I find it more comfortable than my normal 3 oclock IWB position, which I use if I'm going to be on my feet for a while. One problem I've found with pocket carry is that some of my trouser pockets are too small. I also have to have a wide belt buckled snugly to keep the weight from pulling my pants down (not down around my knees, but I have to keep pulling them up). Yes, if someone looks carefully, they will notice something in my pocket. But as far as I know, I've never been "made."

How about a post to a zombie thread from a zombie forum member?

I exclusively pocket carry my Shield 9, with a Remora. It fits in most of my cargo shorts and the pocket of one of my two pairs of jeans. (Yeah, I only own two pairs of jeans.) The next time I buy jeans, however, I'll take the Shield with me to make sure it fits.

I was able to carry a Shield in my weak side cargo pocket in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster as a backup gun while on uniformed patrol. I moved to a Ruger LCR because the magazine of the Shield would sometimes eject inadvertently when my thigh made contact with the inside of my squad door. The same thing happened with my wife's Glock 43, so I made the move to a revolver for a backup piece. The Shield remains my favorite "little" gun and I have no plans of giving it up!

Our 9mm Shield has not been CC in any way since we got it....
Rather trust a KIA DA only or my PPK clone not to shoot me or my wife.....
So be it.

My Shield works nicely using a Sticky holster as a pocket carry. The pocket opening works best slanted down and hot close to horizontal to the beltline.

Old thread.

Most of the time I carry OWB on the hip, conceal carry, very comfortable. I always wear a zippered hoodie so it easily conceals the Shield 9 at the 3:00 position.

I worry in the winter because now I have a jacket over a jacket, it's very cold where I live. In this scenario I switch to a Sticky holster in the pocket of the winter jacket for quick access.

The heavier jacket supports the Shield better than the hoodie does for pocket carry.

I don't pocket carry in my jeans.
