| I just bought a pocket holster for my Smith & Wesson 360 and I think I found how I am going to carry. It is so much more comfortable than the IWB holster I was using. Anybody else pocket carry with a J-frame? |

I seriously recommend you take a look at the pocket holsters sold by "Simply Rugged." Thin material, just enough to break up the outline of the revolver, but not fat like others you often see here. I don't need something like another wallet in my front pocket. Neither do you. Well made and reasonably priced - check it out.

The pants that conceal my revolver the best are my 5.11 pants or cargo shorts with deep pockets. With the pocket holster it just looks like a bulge like it could be a wallet or something else. |

Those of yall who wear cargo pants or shorts, how do you get the gun to keep from "slapping" as you walk? I wear cargo shorts while riding a bike and carry in the strong side cargo pocket. That was one of the reasons I went to an air weight (M&P 340) over my Ruger SP101. The Ruger, being a bit heavier, would bug me at times. I don't have these issues with the Smith. I'll pocket carry the Smith in one of my normal pockets for day to day wear, and don't feel it bouncing around. |

Now my surefire E2Defender slaps around in the cargo pockets and cuts them also. |

Anybody else pocket carry with a J-frame? I've done it for years. Be aware that pocket carry of a J frame makes for a really slow draw...unless you are already staged on the revolver. Thankfully most of the time if you're paying attention you can have a hand in the pocket and around the grip of the revolver before trouble gets to the lethal level. |

When I ordered mine he called within 15 minutes to talk about the holster I wanted, and to just shoot the shit about guns and stuff. It took 3 weeks to the day to get my holster back from him. |

Seriously though, I think I just get used to it. Typically I carry in a cargo short type pocket. I don't worry too much about printing because as others said it looks more like a bulge than anything in particular. Cops and crooks and CCers may know, but anyone trying to notice will get my attention. So far the J-frame is the bet pocket carry gun invented IMO. -JC |
