New holsters for pocket guns
Since I'm not a Tier 1 operator and I tuck my shirt in, pocket carry is my best option. The biggest problem is finding a holster that protects the safety, trigger, doesn't print, and keeps the grip in the correct upright position. I've used the Uncle Mikes, DeSantis, Galco, but none of them were what I wanted. I found a new company out of WA. (LOOK BLAINE )
Recluse Holsters http://www.recluseholster.com/
They make one sided, two sided (like I have), back pocket, cargo pocket, backup mag models. Mine were upgraded to horsehide at no charge. I have one for my Kahr CW380 and Sig P938. Super easy to draw from. Your trigger finger slips perfectly along the side of the pistol. You do need to remove the holster to reholster the pistol.

Interesting, but when I pocket carry (usually my .380 Browning M-1955), I simply slip in an old empty/flat leather wallet into the pocket's outer side, next to the pistol, to prevent printing.
BTW - my pocket's ALWAYS emptied & cleaned prior to using it for CCW, to avoid any issues like trigger interference and/or lint/debris working into the pistol's innards.

Re: New holsters for pocket guns
That is a good looking pocket holster. I use the pocket protector from Simply Rugged and like it quite a bit. It's a rough out design that really grabs the inside of your pocket.

Re: New holsters for pocket guns
Simply Rugged are good, but the problem I found was how they sat in dress pants. Most dress pants have a tapered pocket as do a lot of pants. Notice how the holster is tapered like your pocket, on the Recluse.yooper2 wrote:That is a good looking pocket holster. I use the pocket protector from Simply Rugged and like it quite a bit.

If it works for you that's all that matters.

Tier 1 operator? What's that someone who only handles important telephone calls?

A sarcastic reference to the posers on AR15.com. You know those tier 1 operators who never leave their basement, without a Glock 17 on the hip, a Glock 26 IWB appendix carry, and a Glock 43 in an ankle holster. Oh, forgot, they also have 3 backup mags for each.jeepnik wrote:Tier 1 operator?

Re: New holsters for pocket guns
I've had trouble with pocket holsters. An Uncle Mike's for my J frame Airweight, and Airlite, and the sleeve that came with my LCP......They stick in the pocket, and the entire pocket wants to pull out of the pants, gnarling up the piece in the process.

Re: New holsters for pocket guns
Exactly one of the problems I was having. I'm going to get one for my 642 also now that I've tried these two out.BlaineG wrote:I've had trouble with pocket holsters.

You may be able to go direct to his shop and test fit one. It's only a 30 minute drive up to Gig Harbor from Spanaway?

For anyone experiencing that particular issue, a simple stitch/knot, using thread the same color as the pants (pocket), and tying the bottom edge of the pocket lining to the pant leg material, will disappear the issue of traveling pockets.
Don't use a staple........

If it works for you that's all that matters.
That'd be the difference, I own one pair of dress pants and I think they've been worn about 30 times in the past 5-6 years! Glad there are so many good companies catering to people's varied needs.

Re: New holsters for pocket guns
When I was pocket carrying a J frame in an Uncle mikes IWB holster all was good. Everything worked fine.
I switched to a Glock 26 and things got complicated. A STICKY holster wasn't sticky enough to work right. A DeSantis "seems" to work but doesn't instill confidence. Maybe I just need to stitch together a suede pocket within a pocket for the Glock.

Re: New holsters for pocket guns
The inside left pocket of my leather MC vest is perfect without any sort of holster. The AirLite, AirWeight, or LCP is quite comfortable, and genuinely undetectable.

Re: New holsters for pocket guns
Second this, love mine. Robert Mika was LEO for many years, started making holsters for self and friends, and the business created itself. Nice guy to do business with, and holsters are very reasonable in price.MrMurphy wrote:Mika pocket holsters.

I like the hip pocket carry for my little NAA. Since I pretty much take that everywhere it just slips in and is unnoticeable.

Re: New holsters for pocket guns
I wear a Mika vest rig every day, working on a pocket rig for a 642 soon as well.
Re: New holsters for pocket guns
Thanks. I will get one for my sig 938 and try it out

Re: New holsters for pocket guns
As he related to me by phone, he was wearing an ankle holster one day back when the Earth was cooling, Elvis was still alive, and he was a cop.
As he was running in a foot chase, he saw a snubbie go sailing down the street in front of him and something in his mind said "that's my gun........". Sure enough he had somehow kicked the gun right out of the holster. He retrieved it and caught the guy, and after that, started working on a pocket holster for himself.
His vest holster has stayed in place through three serious ground wrestling matches (not exactly fights, but trying to get guys into cuffs who were not amused by the idea) including wrestling a guy across a bed, off the bed onto the ground, into a corner, out of the corner, and finally back up against the bed.

Re: New holsters for pocket guns
I have a Mika pocket holster I use for a Ruger LCR. I purchased the pocket holster with the flat bottom. I found that most of my pants pockets are mostly flat like that. I also like that it is made of a synthetic material. Less moisture concerns.
