You're gonna need big pockets.

I use a DeSantis Nemesis for my P3AT and it is perfect in every way. Also only costs about $20.

you're gonna need HUGE pockets and the access may be a bit crowded. have you considered smart carry or IWB?

My thoughts would be:
1) Mika pocket Holster
2) Nemesis
3) MNBURL makes pocket holsters

I was just traveling on vacation and just held an M & P compact for the first time. What ranger and plblark wrote is correct, the pockets would have to be really big and I think you would have a difficult time keeping the pistol from printing. It is a compact pistol as opposed to full size but by no means would I consider it a "pocket" pistol.

In my experience, the only compact size gun that I've been able to effectively carry in the pocket w/o printing has been the Smith & Wesson J-frame snubnose revolvers. Something about the shape of the revolver lends itself to blending in.

If you want to pocket carry an auto, you're probably better of with something quite a bit smaller, maybe a kel-tec, bersa, or maybe a small beretta, although the j-frame is usually a little more effective in caliber.

Mika pocket holster. I carry a Walther P99c, and it does not print, although I usually wear cargo shorts or pants. But, it also works with regular dockers.

K Rat by PaleHorse & KD Holster's 2in1 are nice for a Keltec P3AT. S&W MP in a pocket? Too large and heavy for pocket carry for me.

Another vote for the Nemesis
