Every choice is a compromise. I can justify my choice by the fact that, for every nanosecond spent running and ducking, I spend eons sitting with the biggest threat being boredom. All this in a low risk arena.

Company policy prohibits the possession of weapons on company property...and I always follow the rules. But, in theory, if a feller were to carry, it would have to be very, very concealed. Choices are further limited by another company policy regarding employee dress.

It's all about knowing the compromises one makes with every choice.

Even these girls have made a compromise....their weapons are not in hand.

For me, pocket carry ain't so hot. Too many times when it is either unavailable or uncomfortable. A holster or clip is necessary EXCEPT for the occasional J-frame in a coat pocket in winter. That works okay as long as the pocket is shaped so the resolver doesn't spin or turn over.

I was tempted to drop the P32 in a pocket sans holster, but even with a pocket rig I am not too happy. Belt clip works out very nicely. Pocket holster for a jacket (not pants) is on the bench as we write. Heck Rob, even I can manage a pocket holster!

Carried in the back pocket makes no sense....can't get to it seated....

While front pocket carry seems like a good idea and with tiny pistols is comfortable and if your britches are not to tight the gun will not show....still...does not work if you have to get with it....

The best possible outcome in a gun fight is to not get shot...the most effective way for this to play out is to begin to move rapidly (as in run as fast as you can) away from the threat....unless the gun is already in your hand when you are presented with this threat, once you begin to move you can not get into your pocket to present your weapon....as you move your pockets get tight....if one is seated, the pants are tight and it is difficult to get into the pocket....on and on....

The ideal carry for a small defensive pistol (IMHO) is strong side appendix carry, either in a stiff plastic holster (for a glock style striker fired pistol) or a belt clip for a small DA pistol...the 32/380 Keltec will fit here perfectly and be ready for instant action seated, moving...whatever...the pistol is easily defended from a snatch...only downside to this carry is a big ol' beer gut....it won't work for fat boys...still many carry full size Glocks this way....

The only way to really see what works is to get a couple of high quality airsoft pistols a friend and just try different stuff out....if you do...you won't carry in your pockets anymore....

The pocket carry that does work great is a hammerless revolver in the strong side jacket pocket...

As for the mag button being pressed. I filed the mag button down and stopped having an issue. RUGER TRACKED ME DOWN and wanted gun back for the saftey recall but assured me they would not touch my mag release.(It was plastic)
However when I received back the gun they replaced mag button with a metal one...Was so mad I really wanted to punch someone out over it (at Ruger)

Any way ,I filed down and rounded the edges of the new mag release and polished edges. Touched up with cold blue and everything works fine. No more releasing magazines in pockets. And also not any harder to release the magazine when you want to, for me at least.

I carry the LCP in the right front pocket with my keys to break up the outline it has event with an Uncle Mikes pocket holster. Clip in left pocket (I read magazines)

Also carry a tin of aspirins for anyone around me including me that might have a heart attack. A kinfe for sure. I always carry a lighter even though I dont smoke. Seems every good outdoorsman has a "Strike-a-light" with him. 10-4 on that Sporran

The above does not vary. Other pistolas carried depends on wardrobe, situation, and mood, but the pockets are always bespoke thusly.

For me, everything in my back pockets is a PITA. Even my wallet. I try to mitigate it with uneven success. When in uniform my wallet went in the capacious right breast pocket. Sometimes I stick it in one of the front pants pockets (especially when driving any distance). I can't imagine trying to carry a pistol in a back pocket. I read that Venturino carries in his back pocket. I've a lot of respect for those of you here. I just don't understand it. Yes, lots of customers "try" these little guns in their back pockets, even the ladies in TIGHT jeans. Heck some carry their smart phones there! That I really don't get, how many of those are broken when they sit down? Seriously, I just don't get it.
