Pocket holsters

Post by drinks »

What have you found to be a comfortable pocket holster?
I have a de Santis gun hide for my PPP [puny plastic popgun, P-3AT], it has worn a blister on my thigh after only 1 week of carrying. The problem area is the stitching at the bottom.
Anyone have a recommendation?

Try a DeSantis NEMESIS, they are soft and flexible. We have two for our P32s. No problems...................., Regards, OE

I've used an uncle mike's size 1 pocket holster for the P3-AT. Very comfy and very inexpensive.

Robert Mika's pocket holsters are the best IMO. http://www.frontiernet.net/~akim/

I pocket carry a .38 special S&W 642 and it looks like my prior normal pocket filler, a PDA.

+1 I like Mika's holsters. They are a bit bulky and ugly as sin.....but your gun comes out of it each and every time......at least in my experience.

I use the K&D Pocket Defender for my J Frame. I have had several: Galco, Kramer, Uncle Mikes, etc. . . I like the K&D the best.

After checking a couple of sites, it seems I have the De Santis nemesis, it is the one that is eating my thigh up.
I have ordered a Mika's and an Uncle Mike's, surely one will be comfotable.
Thanks for the recommendations.

For a temporary fix, try folding duct tape over the stitching on the Nemesis.

I think you'll like the Mika holster. I have four of them.

Pocket Holster

Post by mbw »

I have tried several different holsters. What works for me is the Don Hume 001 Front Pocket #80. It fits both the 32 and the 380 P-3AT. The holster is very stiff and you need to put it into hot water and mold the holster to your pistol. Once this is done, the holster lays flat in your pocket and stays there when you draw the pistol. This holster has a "Hook" that grabs your pocket on the draw so you draw the pistol, not the pistol and the holster.

The holster runs around $35.
