442 in a Mika. Reliability, no snag draw and weight were my deciding points.
Had to give up a few rounds but then, I’m not going to war with it...just to the grocery store usually.
Thanks. I made it. I've been making leather holsters and knife sheaths for 50+ yrs. Most people today only want kydex or similar high tech material holsters. I have several kydex holsters too.
Glock 33, Kramer leather pocket holster. Spare mag and flashlight somewhere; if in dress cloths, my suit coat pockets are reinforced for those. Also a lock blade knife.
When pocket carrying it's my M&P 340 around the home, yard or a quick trip to town but more often these days it's my 1st Gen Shield AIWB. Several other larger, higher capacity makes and models see a lot of use also.
I carry in a DeSantis pocket holster. Most days I wear carpenter Jeans with an S&W 640Pro and a speed loader in the 'watch pocket). If I wear pants with tighter pockets I carry a G43 in the same holster with a spare mag in my support side rear pocket.
2” M36 or an old High Standard Derringer. With the S&W I have to move my billfold to a different pocket but the HS slides right in behind my billfold and stays in place. I don’t like the idea of getting in a gunfight with only the HS but it has to be better than my fingernails.
My EDC is a 49 no dash in FR pocket. Except when bicycling then a LCR 38 in Right Kidney water bottle pocket. Both guns use 135 +P Gold Dot Short Barrel, 8 shot speed strip of same ammo.
