Opinion on pocket carry.....

[HeatSeeker]

Personally, I wouldn’t pocket carry on any occasion. Any gun small enough to pocket carry would be more comfortable (to me) carried IWB. Any gun too small to IWB carry is not a gun I would want to carry for firepower reasons. I would look towards a PF9, PM9, or LCP and get a good little IWB holster for it.

Personally, one of my favorite IWB holsters I’ve found, to date, has been the IWB offered by N82Tactical. http://n82tactical.com/

Extremely comfortable, well made, and reasonably priced.

I am going to order this holster for my Glock 26. Thanks for the link.

No sweat. I have one for my G19 and I really like it. I have a few crossbreed type IWB holsters that are okay but I don't prefer having two contact points for my belt. I feel that it pulls away from my waist more than is necessary. the N82 holster only has one contact point which I really like. The holster also disperses the weight of the gun well. There's no uncomfortable contact points on your body at all. The G19's grip is a little long for me when I'm wearing just a tshirt, but I think a G26 would disappear completely. I plan to pick one up soon!

Well, i ruled out pocket carry for the G26 after further research and experimenting.....just not with this gun. I do like the concept for smaller irons, like an LCP, etc. What i ended up with is the standard Fobus G26 paddle holster. Tried several IWB/OWB and settled on this one. Very small, super light and its 100% designed for the G26. Hides well enough with a tee and button up shirt. Its really tight so far, but i hope it will loosen up with time and use. I still have the Miami Classic which is acutally for my P89, but fits the G26 very well also...

i carried a berretta .32 tomcat in the summer months in TX. Looked like a wallet..7shots, yeah they might be little but it will be enough of a distraction to get away...also it has a heavy trigger and safety to prevent shooting yourself...

Felt the same way about the crossbreed, but after wearing it out in the hot and rain of Florida, it melted into my back after a few trips out. I'm crossposting a bit, but it held up great in a full day's rain on a bike. I saw the single-contact N82 holsters and liked them. Thanks for the links. Will try one out, for sure. The crossbreed is nice, but having more options is good.

Anyone have a good suggestion for a holster than will hold tight without a belt?

That's my big complaint with the crossbreeds - I need to wear a belt with them. I have the Remorra/Sticky holster and they work in limited conditions (not a bike ride or any "active" movement scenario). Normally I'll wear with shorts and a t-shirt or polo. Maybe long pants, but then I'd wear a belt anyway. I'm looking for something that would work with board/cargo shorts and no belt while being "active".

The unfortunate thing for me is that when I carry, it is usually during activity - biking, picking up items for the house, meeting people in dark alleys...

Near the house I feel safer (irrational, perhaps, but true). So it's the long trips when I leave the island that I carry. And those usually involve more than walking around.

Ideas welcome.

Hope I'm not viewed as thread-jacking. It looks like OP got his answer...
