I have been very pleased with my CM9. It works best with baggy cargo shorts but if you are a bigger guy, then jean pockets can work, but it will print more.

Try a 2" 357 snub. It works perfect for baggy jeans and who can argue about the stoping power.

Hammerless J-frame or one of the small framed 9mm. In Florida this past week and carried a Shield or Sig 938 or S&W 442 depending on pocket size at the time. They all work, it's harder with the Shield. And, you gotta be comfortable with cocked and locked with the 938. I prefer .38 minimum but, a .380 is better than nothing.

Ruger LCP in a kydex pocket holster is about the smallest IMO. A Kahr CM9 shouldn't be a problem but Kahr's typically have some teething problems you'll need to work though. You can also check out the Sig P290. They've been marked to the mid $300's many places. If I didn't already have a Kahr CM 40 I'd get one.

I pocket carry my CM9 in an el cheapo Uncle Mike's holster and love it. I would HIGHLY recommend putting a couple hundred rounds through a CM9 before carrying it. I had a few FTE and one failure to go in to battery within the first 50 rounds. It's been 100% since then and I have 500+ rounds through it.

The LC9 looks pretty nice. It doesn't look like I'll be able to shoot it before buying. The range I'm going to has an LCP, but that doesn't necessarily tell me if the trigger is the same. I'll see if they at least sell them there so I can dry fire and feel the weight, but I'm still leaning toward the Kahr.
Whatever I wind up buying I'll put a couple hundred rounds through it before carrying. I'd follow the advice of the small J frame, but I'm probably going to want to carry a spare mag too in my other pocket.

I carry a Kahr PM9 daily.
At work it's in a DeSantis Pistol Pack clipped to my waist (I spend a lot of time sitting). Technically, the Pistol Pack is only for the LCP-sized guns, but the PM9 does fit. The similar but larger E-Z Rider they would have you buy for the PM9 is suspiciously large; the Pistol Pack attracts zero attention. Spare mag in offside pocket. Outside of work, it's in a Nemesis pocket holster, keys dropped in front of it to further break up the outline. Either option works quite well. |

I have a Kahr CM9 that I carry in a cheap pocket holster I got from cheaperthandirt.com for like 12 dollars, I carry it in my rear left pocket (even tho im a righty, but my wallet is in the right). I have a 30 waist and wear 32 pants for IWB, 5'7 170lbs. It disappears w/ jeans or cargo shorts with a snug fitting T-shirt. I also carry a SW 642 in a El Paso Saddlery pocket holster in that same location, it fits MOST pants pockets, but I have a couple pairs of shorts that have shallow rear pockets that it will not fit well.

Ruger LCP in a Nemesis holster. Still prints when seated, but people just assume that it is a phone. IMO, anything larger will not be comfortable to pocket carry.

I carry 2 spare mags in my back pocket in a Recluse mag pouch:  |

While I pocket carry an LCP (with the hogue handall hybrid grip), if you want 9mm, and don't mind carrying cocked and locked, the Sig 938 with the +1 grip is the smallest I've seen. Seems smaller than the pm9, but perhaps you'd want to look that up. I personally think the PF-9 can be a great gun (I torture tested two and couldn't get either to jam)....it's also pocketable.

When an auto it is a Kahr PM9 in an El Paso Saddlery pocket holster. A J Frame or small auto like the PM/CM9 would be a great choice. |

I have a recurring situation where I'll be seated in very close proximity to people, where IWB carry will probably eventually get spotted. I'm looking for ideas on a pocket carry for a pair of baggy jeans. I'm not concerned about having to draw while seated, it's more for to and from the parking lot. I'm looking mostly at a Kahr CM9 right now, any better suggestions? I'd prefer a 9mm with 6+1 minimum, but I'd go with a 380 if it'll save me on printing in pocket. I plan to use a pocket holster to cover the trigger and try to break up the outline, especially when I'm seated and the pocket stretches tighter. I'm also going shooting in a couple of weeks with a buddy that is bringing his Bersa Thunder along for me to try out, the range has a CM9 I can try as well. Sig P290RS About the same size and layout, but I thought the trigger was better. It doesn't fit very well in my pocket though. If you want to go smaller, you will have to accept a smaller cartridge, like a .380. |

I bought a diamondback db9. It fits well in my jeans.
It's not a fun range toy. After 100 to 150 rounds I'm done with it for the day. |
