People who choose
to carry a concealed firearm in their daily lives are frequently looking for
the best options to carry. Depending upon the climate, a shoulder holster might
not be the best option for you. A waistband can definitely be uncomfortable.
One easy way to carry concealed
weapons is in your pocket, with a simple pocket carry holster. Whether it is
your jacket pocket, breast pocket or even your jeans, a pocket carry holster
can help you out.
The Pros
All concealed carry holsters mean
that you will be compromising on one aspect or the other. However, pocket carry
still provides a number of advantages, including but not limited to:
Easy Of
Carry - Carrying things in our pockets is something all of us are
familiar with. Even if there is a small bulk in your pocket, you don’t mind. At
least there is no discomfort in your shoulders, or waistline or nothing jammed
into your back. The best part is that pocket carry doesn’t cause discomfort.
Whether you are standing, running or walking, it will be similar to carrying
your phone.
Lesser
Restrictions - Even though some pants will work better, most things we
wear have pockets. With pocket carry, you don’t need to stick to any sort of
clothing requirements.
Best Concealment - If keeping
your weapon hidden from plain sight is the primary concern, nothing can work better
than pocket carry. Your gun would never flash and the anti-print panel would
fade out any prints. Furthermore, people are used to carrying wallets, phones
and much more in their pockets. Even a prominent bulge would go unnoticed when
walking around.
Quick Access
- Although pocket holster aren’t really good when it comes to faster
draw time, you still have access to a full firing grip. The best part? You can
draw it while still in a non-threatening posture. The case isn’t the same if
you are reaching the back of your shirt for your gun and there is no element of
surprise.
Affordable
- Even though the price of your holster shouldn’t be the deciding
factor when it comes to concealed carry, pocket carry holsters are much cheaper
than their counterparts.
The Cons
Longer
Draw Times - Your hand needs to go into the pocket and gain a proper grip.
Naturally, this extends the draw times. Also, special care must be taken to
separate the gun from the holster. This adds to the draw time, making it slower
than other concealed carry options.
Gun Size
Restrictions - A full size 1911 can be concealed in your waistband, but
not your pocket. Also, most pockets are smaller. This means you may need to
stick to a smaller handgun that fits in your pockets.
The Bottom Line
Concealed carry with pocket carry
holsters can be an excellent option for armed civilians. Even some respectable
sized guns can be carried in all pockets easily. All you need is draw practice
and you are good to go!
