Glock 27 in Front Pocket

Gary Crumrine · February 7th, 2008, 03:00 PM

Friends,

Does anyone have experience carrying a Glock 27 in their front pocket?

Does is print?

Which holster do you suggest?

Cordially,
Gary

I carry a G26 in a pants pocket occasionally. It has the same exact dimensions as a G27.

Use a good pocket holster designed for a G27 (mine is custom made for me), and don't expect it to be a fast draw.

It will not work with tight jeans. I use mine with casual slacks, suits, or cargo pants or cargo shorts.

The "Mega Holster" link will provide a lot of quality options!

I carry a G26 as well but I found that it's a little big for me to carry in my front pocket. Just shows how everyone is different. ha!

You might try DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster

The Nemesis

I order one for the P3 AT and Walther PPKs, and they just came in today. They fit great and seem to work well in shorts pockets.

I think I’ll take it for a spin to the store.

I had a G27. There is no way I would have consistently carried it in my front pocket.

i hate to sound like a parrot but Mika's pocket holster for a 26/27 is incredible. it makes the 26 feel much more comfortable in your pocket and it has a nice design which keeps the holster in your pocket when you draw. i have 3 of these pocket holsters for my j frames and decided to try one for a 26, it really works! My son is using it for a backup holster so no pics...sorry. maybe someone else will chime in with a pic.

I have carried a G27 in a pocket holster in my front pocket. If the pants were baggy, it didn't print very much. It took a little more effort to draw from the pocket though.

I sure couldn't do it in my jeans. Maybe with a good pocket holster in pleated pants or cargos but I think it'd still be kind of heavy.

I carry my g27 in my front right pocket nearly everyday, in fact I just took it out. It works fine for me. I wear pretty baggy cargo pants so I don't have a problem at all. The shape and depth of the pocket and the size of the opening makes big differences. If my radar pings a little I just casually put my hands in my pocket and I'm ready. In that posture I can draw pretty fast........the pants and pockets are the key to it working for you.
