Pocket carry and sitting.

[GattlinGun]

The fact that you have not seen anyone wear one, is exactly the reason to wear one.

Ok, I'll bite.
How is drawing from your belt any riskier than leaning back, straightening your leg, acting like you are having a seizure, to draw your gun?

Get one. You will find it is very comfortable and accessible. They look good too. Next best thing to open carry.

I advise using caution with that design because you have to insert your finger into the holster to remove the gun.

Under duress, it's going to be very easy to insert your finger into the trigger guard instead of under the trigger guard and then accidentally discharge the weapon while pulling it out of the holster.

Will Carry: why not use a fanny pack? many packs have a pocket on them for carrying a gun. That way you can pocket carry but yet you will be able to acess your gun should you need it while your sitting down.

Serious question, what is the Sneaky Pete holster suppose to be, other
than the boxy holster that is?

I have not seen anything similar being worn by anyone.

Looks like it would work decently, if a bit slow. Says gun to me.

I don't have one, and am not interested in getting one; but I bet it says "cell-phone" to almost everyone else.

Can they replace the "SP" logo with something close to a Google android or Apple without some infringement lawsuit?

I always OWB holster carry at 2:30. I always dress around that carry method, usually with untucked shirt. Have been carrying this way daily for past 5 years.
Also, always face the door of an establishment.

If it is too warm to wear a jacket or vest to cover a full size firearm on your hip, consider using a Kramer Tee shirt holster under a button up shirt. I can carry a full size Glock or my M&P 9 under a dress shirt and conceal it. Drawing will most likely ruin your shirt or at least cause you to lose a few bottons but it is better than not having a full size gun on you when something bad happens. I practice drawing with an unloaded M&P using old shirts that need to be discarded anyway. You can draw your gun sitting down.

Pocket carry is not a quick-draw proposition. However, you can place your hand on the weapon without drawing attention. If sitting, you can move the weapon to a position from which it can be drawn quickly, or effectively hide it from view. From that starting point, you can draw as quickly as from a Matt Dillon rig.

If you wait until you are being directly threatened, it is probably to late to react. Action always trumps reaction (unless you're Matt Dillon, and your adversary is scripted to fail).

LOLOL....which is most likely a better approach than a gunfight in a restaurant with innocent bystanders

The only time I ever pocket carry is when I am wearing my work pants and I dont feel like wearing a jacket to cover up my shoulder rig. I keep it in my right cargo pocket, barrel downward, spare magazine slides nicely into the side of other cargo pocket. Deluth firehose work pants. I can easily slide my hand in with minimal movement to remove my pistol if need be.

Pocket carry is really my bread and butter. Pocket carry is the only carry that I turn too when I my belt isn't covered by my shirt or when deep carry is needed. 100% of my carry includes my pocket, including playing the part of a main gun or a BUG. With that being said, pocket carry is pretty low on the pole on being a good way to carry a gun. Hard to draw while seated or on the ground. Plus most people do not practice drawing from their pockets (or from their IWB holster for that matter) so when its game time, they can fail at getting their gun out. If you can do it, carry on your hip 1st then pocket 2nd.

This is where being a scruffy biker is a benefit.

Bikers always have chains and pouches. This has gotten to the point where no one even looks up. Harley makes a small pouch that is a perfect fit for my 642. An Uncle Mike's ballistic nylon pocket holster holds the revolver in the proper position.

As for armed thugs in a restaurant, I believe in two things.

First, my sole job at this point is to get my wife and I out any exit possible. But let's face it, while we are duty bound to adhere to concealed licensing parameters--which will help us in any future court action--our carry guns are a compromise, as well.

Ya' run what you brung. Practice, practice.
