Earlier today, I posted a poll specific to the Sig P938 and pocket holsters. I realize that given the popularity of many other single stack 9MM pistols, the poll was way too narrow in scope (duh!).
So, if you have ANY single stack 9MM (please limit it to this size pistol) and have used pocket holsters, I'd like to know which ones you have found work the best. If you have some that have not worked well, I'd like to hear about that, too.
Thanks for sharing any information you may have on this topic.
Unfortunately, I spent a lot of money on DeSantis, Galco, and Mika holsters before I found the Blackhawk #3 at Walmart. It's the perfect width and thickness for my 442.
I pocket carry pretty regular and I have been using a DeSantis Nemisis for the last couple years. I have a Nelson pocket rig on the way though for my Glock 43 that I'm going to try out.
I don't pocket carry all that often but Uncle Mike's or Blackhawk (whichever one Walmart sells) works for me two ways. I used contact cement to glue velcro stips on it and inside my truck console. Holds it in there just fine and when I get out, I can just rip it out and stuff it in my pocket or leave it there. I use my Alien Gear Cloak 3 but don't like driving with my firearm poking me in the back. So the pocket holster sticks to the inside wall of my console perfect.
Taking the advice of Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama Pocket Holsters for my XDs & Shield, and for the wife's G43. The wait time is way too long thanks to Hickok45 heavily promoting them, but they are well worth the wait.
I've never owned a pocket holster. If a pocket was large enough, I'd put a Model 60 inside w/o a holster. I'd also carry in an inside jacket pocket w/o a holster.
If I'm pocket carrying, it usually means I really don't want people to know I have a weapon. Retention is done by your pants pocket and is not as important as protecting the trigger and really breaking up the outline of the pistol. I like holsters that print like a wallet - as long as the front is split to promote getting a good purchase on the handle.
Stealthgear. Overpriced? Probably, but it's quite nice when I'm sweating profusely and it doesn't smell.
Edit: Sorry I misread the thread title, thought it said pocket guns holsters, not pocket holsters. I have a desantis superfly but I rarely (if ever) pocket carry. My subcompact isn't small enough to fit it a pocket without raising eyebrows. The square flap helps a bit but not much since it's flimsy.
