Thread: Pocket Nines - Do They Exist?

I could never see carrying a 'baby' Glock in a pocket. Great in an IWB but not in my pocket.

Obviously you have no plans of moving back to Canada .......

i sometimes will carry my Glock 26 in like a jacket pocket or the cargo pocket on my pants/shorts, but i use a soft pocket holster with the sticky Velcro-like outer surface that sticks to the inside of the pocket so that the trigger is protected, but i can still draw the firearm easily without getting stuck on anything, or pulling the holster out along with it.

that being said, my favorite way to concealed carry is still an Inside The Waistband holster, i love my SHTF Gear, leather/Kydex custom molded holster, that thing is a beauty! all the feel of a soft padded IWB holster, but with that beautiful, snug "click" as you re-holster!

definitely an excellent holster

All this concealed carry stuff interests me,am not an advocate of the practice,never have been, never will be.
How many of you that carry have ever used the Gun?? I would bet none.

You would lose in my case, been there and done that.

I haven't had to use a concealed on a person yet (hope I don't ever have to), but I've used it hiking and camping when a critter ran me up a tree and wouldn't leave. Still I'd rather have it on me and not need it, then need it and not have it. I haven't ever used the fish scaler on my pocket knife either, but I'm glad it's there just in case.

Jimbo,

That brought back some funny memories! Circa 1977 in the US Army, you were taught to call your long weapon a rifle or a weapon, but never a gun. Punishment for the infraction was to hold your gun in one hand and your rifle in the other while running around the platoon as it ran down the road. And what did you chant out loud? Your grandmother's little ditty! Clearly training was not coed back then! Or she might have been Army too!

HooAh,

Ed

That wouldn't be too unusual. There are still police officers who retire without having had to fire their weapon in the line of duty.

Pilots practice emergency landings to maintain their licenses for a whole career and most never do a real emergency landing.

Nuclear power plant operators practice and so on...

I was an EMT a long time ago. I still have a trauma bag ready to go. I've used it once in the last 30 years.

It comes down to what level of preparedness lets you sleep well.

Good points all. Reminds me of the old saw, but true nonetheless, "It is like a parachute, you may never need it, but if you do need it, and you don't have it, you'll never need it again."
