I am looking forward to offering a Kydex pocket rig when I re-open Appalachian Concealment. The shelf liner sounds interesting, I may incorporate that idea, thank you. A back pocket mag pouch would work well with that also.

 

Tell the kids not to touch it. Pretty soon it'll mysteriously be sticky. I promise. I proved this with my TV remote :danceban:

You might could rub an old tennis shoe sole all over it?

 

My wallet holster occasionally comes out with the gun in certain pants, Someone on the Taurus suggested this. I wish I didn't have to buy 50' and I'm not sure how it would stick to leather,

REMORA NON SLIP STRIPS

REMORA NON SLIP STRIPS

It would be well worth it if you got 50' for $10.95. Not such a good deal when you only get 50", though!

BTW, won't your wallet holster get pretty thick if you wrap that remora skin around it? Sort of defeats the idea of concealment IMO.

 

Done several different projects where I used the clear plastidip spray. Clean the surface well and it stays for a good while.
Just another option.

 

I made my own out of scrap leather, rough side out. So far, 4 years and still works

 

I have a DeSantos model P6 and not had a problem with the holster staying in my pocket when gun is drawn. The texture holds it not it being sticky.

 

I'm pretty sure Mika holsters use that shelf liner stuff. It works.

 

Haven't tried it but bowlers have a little palm size sack that sure is sticky powder. Maybe more experienced bowler can add or comment if it's a good or bad idea.

 

That's a rosin bag.

 

Never had a problem with my Don Hume leather holsters Steel Guns and leather are a hard combination to beat.

 

I wonder if coating it with contact cement, or rubber cement would work?

 

You can just wrap skateboard tape around it. I also use it on my some of my gun grips when the front strap is smooth. You cut it to size, peel off the paper backing to expose the sticky side, stick it on your holster and it is not going to come out with the gun. I only have one non Mika holster that I need to use it on. You can also just spend $30 for a Mika holster, the only pocket holster that has never come out with my gun. I do not like the Nemesis at all. You would be hard press to find a negative review of the Mika handmade pocket holster.

 

Thank you Vinnydee. I was looking for a solution to that problem and ran across your post. You made the post five years ago, but it still came in handy, Thanks,

 

I read were a guy took a small safety pin and pinned a old cheep Uncle Mike's holster in his pocket.

 

Right. Been carrying for years and never had my Bob Mika holster come out with my gun.

 

I've used nothing but suede iwb's with the clip removed for over a decade for the pocket carried J frames. They stay put all by themselves without the necessity to use strips of this, that or something else as a workaround.

 

I just ordered this stuff. WOrth a try for $6.99.

Thanks, I'll bookmark this. My ideal pocket holster is a stiff kydex that has some real 'tackiness' to it on the outside. With this find I may make my own in the future.

After a lot of trial and error, I found this personally as the best 'sticks inside your pocket' holster, Pocket Holsters | High Noon Holsters

 

Personally, I don't like the idea of 'pants pocket' holster carry. Yes, it's convenient to just stick it in your big pants pocket, and gearing up before running out to the grocery store is quick and simple.

BUT, drawing/deploying the firearm which is, after all, the reason for carrying in a holster (besides safety) is SLOW. Reaching around deep down in a pants pocket takes time and is OBVIOUS. It's inaccessible when you're sitting in the driver's seat.

I won't even mention the tendency to stuff something in over top of it (like a grocery receipt?).

Now a 'JACKET' pocket is a completely different story. Some of these holsters lend themselves well to a windbreaker/jacket pocket carry.

 

One has to differentiate between back and front pocket carry in the discussion of pocket carry. I carry back pocket, not front, for all the detrimental reasons you listed. Which are handily negated with back pocket carry [ drawing isn't slow, it's not obvious and it's accessible while seated ].

 

What's wrong with just buying a Remora? I use one when I have to pocket carry my Sig P938. Works fine.

 

Take some nylon mesh fabric, .25" square grid is just about ideal. Attach it to the exterior of your holster with clothes pins. Cover the mesh with a very thin layer of (black?) 3M Marine (Silicone) Sealant, use a popcicle stick like you're icing a cake. Then peel off the mesh. It will leave a grid of neatly-spaced, curly-topped little black silicone dots. Hang it on a wire & don't touch ANYthing for 24 hours. Taa Daa! Pocket Sticky! Any & all sticky methods will become less effective with dust & lint. Mild soap & a quick, easy toothbrushing returns it to like-new. :image035:

 

Looks like Remora is no longer offering the strip of sticky tape anymore...

Anybody use "Dragon Grips" or "GT-5000 grip tape" and apply it to their pocket holster?

 

greetings...

we use kinesiology tape... there are different brands and different textures... drug stores carry a variety... not sticky like spooge... but helps keep the pocket holster where you want it...

also use it on iwb kydex... keeps it from sticking to skin...

This is very good advice.

 

I use one of these on my Kahr when I pocket carry that weapon. It's easy pull it off as you pull the pistol.

 

This is one of the many reason why I made my own kydex pocket holsters last year. They will NOT come out with the gun under any circumstances.

For years I pocket carried in a DeSantis, then switched to a Sticky a couple of years ago. I got tired of the bulk and the lack of retention.

 

This has worked well for me, and for many years. It is made from horsehide so it is very thin, but durable.

 

I prefer Rosen holster and have carried several over the years, one thing I did to a few to have stay put in modified pant pockets, was to take industrial velcro, sew a strip inside the pant pocket and have a shoe shop stich the other side to the holster, has never failed
