Pocket Carry - Questions / Suggestions

[ToolAA]

You're supposed to feed the cord through a little hole in your pocket and tie it to your gonads.

(EDIT- Park Ranger understands the system.)

Well if that’s the case, I’ll just wear a thigh rig under my special pants with the pockets cut out.

Or wear it when you have your chaps on.

Shorten the lanyard and you can wear a kilt and just let it swing underneath.

That's meant for belt carry, not pocket carry. Won't work in a pocket without mods to the item, the pants pocket, or both.

Please explain.

Please explain.

The lanyard has to be anchored to something. For Blaster's cup holder carry, it could be tied off to something on the console. For Mexican (waistband) carry, it would be tied to a belt loop perhaps. Park ranger and I explained the pocket carry adaptation.

As I said, my LCP carries very well in my DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster: very simple, no gimmicks. Just need to choose pants with roomy pockets.

Looks like Threeband already did.

The original brand is called the MIC.
I wouldn't trust the cord around a belt loop. Put it around your belt. Stick pistol IWB.
I loop it around my shifter and put the pistol in the cup holder. When I'm feeling like exercising safety.
I also use it to attach to whatever point on my fanny packs and use it that way. When I'm not carrying it in a holster in the murse.

I haven't checked out the "Mic" brand, but I know Raven Concealment makes one attached to a j hook and it acts more like an IWB holster.
They call it the minimalist.
There's a pistol search engine. This just shows a Glock even though I clicked 365.
I'm getting one just because.
They sell a string kit one. I'm pretty sure you could tie some Paracord on this and use it freely.

I’m not advocating this but I can see where it could be useful in limited circumstances.

At least someone does. LOL

The only pocket carry should be a hammerless revolver in the pocket of your winter jacket when running up to the store or walking the dog.

Speaking of hammerless j frames, I've got a few holster types I'm trying out. For pocket carry, this one comes up as popular on other forums. Any thoughts on this type?

It also looks like there's a ledge you might be able to use to flick it off with your thumb, in case the lanyard doesn't work. Visible in the pic right in front of the mag release.

I've not seen too many videos with those types of trigger guards. My advice would be to train, train, and train with it. If it works, great! Otherwise, consider another pocket holster like the Desantis Super Fly. It has a flap that emulates your Crossbreed.

Suggestions: Don't play pocket pool whilst carrying a pocket gun. That's all I got.

Thanks. That is what I gathered from all the praise I’ve read.

Sounds like he developed a good design and is a great guy to boot. Former LAPD? And he originally designed his pocket holsters for fellow officers backup guns back in the day.

I’ll probably order one round and one square to try out.
