Need a New option for my P3AT

I am a youth pastor and carry a firearm almost all of the time. I have as of late been carrying my P3AT more while I am waiting on a new holster for my M&P but I had an issue come up today and would like to reconsider my P3AT holster situation. I usually carry it in a pocket holster, but tonight as I had to physically restrain a student tonight and I felt as though the gun, holster and all, were going to fall out of my pocket.

Any ideas of better ways of carrying this.

Tough situation. I carry my P3AT in my pocket 95% of the time, but sometimes I carry it in an ankle holster and it works really well for me. Being a youth pastor you sure don't want a gun falling out of your pocket.

I carry a Ruger LCP in my weak side front pants pocket in a DeSantis Super Fly pocket holster. Running, jumping and climbing the wall with my feet (weird exercise) does not cause the LCP to fall out. The holster is made of a rubberized fabric that holds to the pocket well but allows a smooth draw.

I hope this helps.

Ankle Carry is out, i just moved to Texas and have been wearing shorts all the time.

I like the neck scabbard and may end up getting that. If I go IWB i will have to go tuckable because due to my normal attire.

You might consider a belly band. The small size, light weight, and incredibly thin design of the P3AT make it perfect for a BB. Some have retaining straps to insure that you could wrestle Hulk Hogan without fear of loss. Presentation may be faster than smart carry or ankle as well. I don't like the neck scabbard due to the tendency for the pistol to move around too much. I like my EDC to be stable.

I have a Ruger LCP (which is basically the same gun) that I most frequently carry in a Galco Ultimate Second Ammendment. It's tuckable as well.

For me (a little on the chunky side at 5'7" 205#) It conceals under a t-shirt. If I'm frisky and feel like going for a run at night...I just throw on some shorts that have a belt-loop and have no problem jogging with the gun in this holster.

For pocket carry I have a Desantis Nemesis and a wallet-type holster from pocketholsters.com I like them both, but each has its favorite items in my wardrobe. It just depends on what I'm wearing.
