Anyone got one ? How well does it slip into a front pocket ? Looking for something for CHL carry. Also, anyone got a link to a chart that compares the sizes of various handguns, especially the sub-compact variety ? |

I have a pocket holster, but this is not a pocket gun in my findings. It's too wide, and the muzzle is too long, IMO. But the pocket holster isn't something I went out and purchased alone, it was an item for sale in a package deal. It's a good holster for loaded safe storage, that's about it. The numbers on dimensions for the SK are skewed a little bit. Let me give you the quick version: The dimensions that are important in concealed carry are height, width, length. Height and width are the more important of the two to keep small. The SK's length is only about a 1/4" shorter than the P2000 compact. The height is about the same as any other double stack 40 subby. The width on the number charts is where you usually see the SK fall behind. But you have to remember that the dual slide stops are included in this measurement, and it's up to you to decide whether or not you think they actually add to the true width of the gun. I feel that they don't. In my opinion, finding a good holster is where the battle lies for concealment. |

Piling on here - not a pocket gun. It's very light & I've carried mine in a Galco Belly Band, a Victorinox 3-way vertical tote, or a Concealco IWB holster. Suggest one of these with a .40/.357 USP-C mag for range sessions: X-Grip adaptor |
+1 a buddy of mine has a SK; it would go nicely on an ankle rig, or in a bulky jacket pocket, but not in most common front pants pockets--too much weight and bulk if you are looking for a pocket gun, i'd recommend a SW 642 (airweight) for max reliability or a small semi (like NA, KelTec, etc) this topic might help: www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=5&f=4&t=48588 |
