Pocket Carry Selection

[7strider77]

I've carried nearly every caliber, and most configurations. I generally stick to a Kahr PM9 in a High Noon "Pocket Grabber" these days when I pocket-carry. I've had around a thousand flawless shots through mine, and unlike the (absolutely beautiful) Rohrbaugh, I can do head shots at 25' (if I really work at it!!). Its the perfect compromise for me, and fun to play with.

I have a few friends with Kel-techs, and every one has malfunctioned seriously within 500 rounds of new. I've seen folks with Kahr trouble too, but I've not had any, and know others with more impressive track records than mine. However, neither of my M&P's has ever failed, after a great deal of use.

For general concealed carry I nearly always have an M&P .40c, and it goes in the pocket now and then too. Its always nice to trade it out for the PM 9 though! So long as I think I'll "live" without it.

Can't go wrong with a revolver if that's your thing. It is true that most of us really don't need the extra capacity available with a quick reload! I'm happy for those that don't, and look forward to living nearer to them one day.

For actual pocket carry I usually go with my Kahr P380, and sometimes my Kahr PM9. Both have been 100% reliable, very small for their respective calibers, very accurate, good sights, have great triggers, and I find them very easy to shoot. I have lightweight snubby revolvers, but compared to the Kahr's, I just don't like them for pocket carry.

In most any type of pants, especially jeans, a M&P340 with Crimson Trace shoes, loaded with Gold Dot .38 +P's and dressed in a Mika pocket holster sets well in the left pocket for me.

I use two.

The first is a Smith M&P340 loaded with Remington 125gr Golden Sabers. The second is a Taurus 738SS TCP loaded with Federal LE 90gr Bonded Hydra-Shoks. Both are carried in the same DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster or carried in an outside coat pocket sans holster.

Made the right choice.

My choice by preference.

M&P 340 or Seecamp .380
Kahr PM9

The lighter the better when it comes to pocket carry.

[GRIZZLYBEAR]

I carry a Rohrbaugh 9mm the most, will sometimes carry a Smith J-frame, and when wanting to go small a Seecamp .380
