I sometimes do. Depends on the circumstances. As long as I have immediate access to the gun and am not in danger of dropping it, I feel good to go.

Coat pocket carry, no holster. Holster would make it very difficult to the the revolver into play while still in the pocket which is a significant tactical advantage.

 

[entertainment72]

I regularly pocket carry and always with a Holster.

And

hoping you are done having children.

Isnt that what they said about striker fired guns carried AIWB?

 

[Bad Bob]

I voted yes, without with one caveat. Only in the winter, a coat pocket.

 

[Bad Bob]

Fudds. Get with the times all revolvers are obsolete. Step up to the 20th century and get yourself one of those new fangled 1911 things.

I don't have any pockets for a 1911.

I never got started having children and at 68 I don't intend to start now. I already carry a Sig P229 DA/SA AIWB and it does not concern me. I really don't think a Kimber K6S which is DA only, with a 9.5-11.5 pound pull, is accidentally going to go off while putting it in my pocket, with or without a holster (provided nothing else is in the pocket).

I personally have only read one detailed case of a person carrying AIWB having an ND, and seen one video. Both involved striker fired pistols. If you can point me to a documented incident of a person carrying a DA revolver having a ND I would be very interested in reading about it.

I require a pocket holster with my J frame to keep out lint and to cover the trigger.

Can't point you to a detailed report, but a coworker in my son's agency Glocked his privates with a G26.

Like I said, I get it with a striker fired pistol. I think it would be unusual with a DA fired pistol.

I remember when there were no pocket holsters for snubbies.
The pocket was the holster.
It was always important not to have anything else but the snubbie in that pocket.
It did create some excessive pocket wear.
Smart folks used to turn the pocket out and get rid of any loose pocket lint with tape.
That is mostly what I remember.
I never heard of anybody having an "in pocket" negligent discharge.

I'm guilty of doing a whole bunch of stuff prior to the dawning of The Internet Age of Enlightenment.

When all of the world's accrued knowledge was thrown open to the unwashed masses it was way too late for me to reform my wicked ways.
Tactical Gun Gurus now freely roam the Internet putting shame on anyone not carrying the latest and greatest in the prescribed holster set up.

Needless to say, I've not lost sleep....or bodily appendages...to carrying one revolver in my waistband and yet another in my pocket and no holster to be found.

Give yourself a little credit, evident by the fact that you choose to carry a revolver in the first place.

But hey look....I'm not recommending anything to anybody.

Pocket holster. Kind of helps disguise that cylinder print. A little more comfortable in the pants.
Im always working. Wouldn’t surprise me to cram a revolver down onto a bolt or something else I’ve forgotten about in a pocket. I don’t care much for pants pocket carry.

"Just get a shotgun", Uncle Joe

and no, mine is always in a pocket holster, but it's there (or at 2:30 on the belt) EVERY day.

 

[QKShooter]

I have a snubbie prototype pocket holster that is just amazing.
Since this exact version never went into production , I won't mention the holster designer or the company. Save to say that they have been in the holster making business forever.
I think that it's possible that this particular design was just too expensive to produce as it is adjustable for any size or style of pocket.
If I ever get an OK to post a photo of it - then I will at some point in the future.

Used to turn my pocket inside out and stitch the seams with tent thread so the barrel wouldn't wear a hole...back in "the day" when lefties had to pay $5 more and wait another 30 days when we ordered a holster.

 

[zonker1986]

was it just me or do I remember a certain gun forum that harped adamantly about always having a firearm in a holster with the trigger guard adequately covered.. Now its perfectly normal to carry a gun with no holster in a pocket? Hmmmm. I pocket carry every day, so I know first hand where that bullet is going if something goes wrong. And I live by Murphy's Law. He was a genus.

 

[Snub44]

Revolvers is what this thread started with...and most of us grey-hairs have carried those in pocket...the long DA pull makes it safe...with nothing else in the pocket. Then it strayed off into semiautos...which some of us have done, too...but I wouldn't unless it had a DA pull like a P model Ruger or a Kahr...never a single-action or so-called safe trigger. Depends on the platform.

We know BEST is in a holster with trigger covered...but quite often our DOs DON'T match up with what we know's best...for one reason or another. Mama used to tell us kids "Do as I SAY, not as I DO." This thread's a confessional, not a tutorial.

I have no reason to carry anything that small.
