Hello all...I have been carrying my PM9 in a Desantis Superfly holster in the cargo pocket on the side of my shorts. It does not feel uncomfortable to me but the pistol sure does bounce around quite a bit when walking. The holster holds the pistol up right, and the trigger is well protected, but I am concerned about the few more that gentle hits that the pistol takes from my thigh by standard physical activity through out the day. The pistol moves around and is hit a whole lot more, than traditional pocket carry or IWB carry. Do any of you see any potential issues with carrying in this fashion?

Is the gun bouncing around in the holster or is the holster WITH the gun bouncing around in the pocket?

The gun with the holster is bouncing around.

I carry my 642 in my lower cargo pocket quite frequently. Yes, it does 'swing' a bit more than I'd like and it occasionally hits things if I take a corner to tight. Minor hits probably won't be a problem. I just try to stear clear of hard objects as best I can. You want to make sure your trigger is kept safe and doesn't come in contact with anything in any way that can pull it.

If you're not comfortable with this type of carry I would suggest you find another way.

Apparently it is annoying enough to post about, so I would switch to another method of carry. (IMHO)

It's not annoying or uncomfortable...I am asking more along the lines of potential to cause an AD by the frequent bumping.

I agree. I have a buddy that carries this same way and he has the same complaint. I like 5.11 holster shirt.

Hey have you checked out these Handgun holsters designed to conceal your handgun in a concealed carry holster system yet? Would definitely work for the bouncing problem. If you insist on carrying in cargo pants, this looks like the way to go. What do you think?

Kahr has drop safety built in...they've even passed the drop test to California's satisfaction.

That baby ain't goin off unless the trigger is pulled, plain and simple.
And the DeSantis covers that, eh?

I power walk 3-8 miles most every day with PM9 in my cargo shorts pocket.

How is it to draw from this position? It easy to reach? Does the pistol come clear of the holster easily?

The way I am built I don't think I could draw from that pocket unless I was seated and I'd be concerned that the holster would come out of the pocket with the gun.
