What is your favorite pocket/concealed carry from the 80s-Presents?

Most of my 642 holsters are OWB, so I don't pocket carry it unless I am
just too lazy to thread the belt through the holster. I said Most, because
I do have one IWB that I use occasionslly. Here, below, are some photos.

BC38 In the old days we used to have a leather pocket sewn into the
inside of our Levi pockets. You can make your wish come true.

I pocket carried a 642 for a few years. I liked the Ruger LCR more after it came out, but it wasn't available when I bought the 642.

Then I went with the Sig P238. A fabulous gun. Then Sig came out with the P938, which is only slightly larger than the 238, but a good caliber upgrade to 9mm.

So the P938 is my current pocket gun. And I'm not looking anymore.
 
In the past I've ccw'd a LW Commander, G19/23 (for over a decade), a J-frame S&W, and a Glock 43. Of those, I've ccw'd the G43 for just over a year and I'd have to say I've been very comfortable and happy with it. So Glock 43 gets my vote.
 
No question, J-frames. At one time or other as a backup in uniform, I used a Model 60, a 36, and later a 649. I didn't acquire a 640 until later, but by that time I'd retired and no longer carry in a pocket. Even after we switched to semi-autos, I still carried the Js. My philosophy was: why mess with success?
I used to make my own holsters and made mine for the Js. Contrary to what some say, I never had an issue with any pocket carry with a hammer. Our uniform pants pockets were cut with a vertical opening, so reaching in, etc., was very easy.
