My Old School EDC

Nice older J. I remember Federal originally offering both a 125gr +P Nyclad, and what I thought they called a Chief's Special standard pressure 125gr Nyclad. I exhausted my supply of those years ago, but I still have a box or two of the original 158gr +P Nyclad.

I also use strong side front pocket holster carry, except I slip a speedstrip of 5 rounds alongside the pocket holster in the same pocket.

Yes, drawing while seated is difficult, but I don't plan to get into any speed contests drawing and presenting from the pocket. Drawing in any of the other potential conditions is simple enough, and I've invested some years of practice doing so while working the range.

Yes, I always check the size and depth of pants pockets with an eye toward pocket-holster carry. Some offer more of a print than others. For those few pants that have front pockets that were either too short or too tight to accommodate a J? Well, that's why I picked up a couple of the DAO LCP's. ;)
 
Love my old 37. When the hound dog barks in the middle of the night, stick my hand in my pocket, everything’s alright.
Model 37, 2-inch SB with Pachmayrs. Federal .38 Special 125 gr Nyclad SWCHP. Gun shipped in 1982.
I carry the gun in my front left jeans pocket. Carry an extra 5 rounds loose in my right pocket.
