<\/a>Unless you\u2019re headed for summer camp and need a craft project, I strongly suggest that you avail yourself of one of the many excellent pocket holsters out there. For the little revolvers, there is no better buy than the DeSantis Nemesis\u2026it\u2019s $20 bucks, works great and is indestructible. I have one Nemesis I use for all my small frame revolvers. The cool thing about the Nemesis is the outer material is almost sticky, which means it stays in position \u2014 and in your pocket \u2014 when you draw the gun.<\/p>\nI have a couple of leather DeSantis pocket holsters, and they all work exactly as billed. If you aren\u2019t familiar with DeSantis, they\u2019ve been around since the Dawn of Time and still offer some of the best values in holster in the market.<\/p>\n
The reigning king of all pocket holsters makers is Pocket Concealment Systems. Michael Meredith, who looks as if he should be starring in an episode of \u201cCSI: Cleveland,\u201d knows more about how things go into and out of pockets than any other living human\u2026sort of like that \u201cCSI\u201d guy and his bugs.<\/p>\n
The result is a wide range of pocket holsters, each specifically designed for a different sort of pocket. This is much cooler than you think\u2026a Nemesis\u2019 single weakness is that it\u2019s tall and doesn\u2019t work that well in some styles of denim jeans. Not a problem\u2026PCS has it covered!<\/p>\n
BTW, one of the few times in my life I have had to draw a gun in defense of said life, it was the .380 Colt from a PCS \u201csweater holster,\u201d a cross-draw holster I wore in an appendix position under a sweater. For years I have heard that a \u201cfast draw\u201d wasn\u2019t important for CCW carriers, yet when the time came, I simply outdrew a man who meant me harm. Interestingly enough, the loudest sound in the world is that of a safety being clicked off, and even though .380 is a classic \u201cmousegun\u201d caliber, the miscreant didn\u2019t seem to notice as he threw his hands up and screamed, \u201cI don\u2019;t want this! I don\u2019t want this! Don\u2019t shoot me!\u201d<\/p>\n Thank you, Michael. Nice rig.<\/p>\n Obviously, these aren\u2019t the only pocket holsters in the world, Jerry Ahern used to make a great one, including a sleeve for that expired credit card or plastic room key you filched from the Holiday Inn to break up the gun\u2019s outline,\u00a0 except now he\u2019s the President of Detonics and \u2018way too busy to make holsters! I hear great things about pocket holsters from Robert Mika, a former LAPD officer who specializes in pocket gear\u2026very popular with police detectives.<\/p>\n Several of my friends use the beautiful (and pricey) Kramer pocket holster and swear by it. It has a piece of laminate on the outside of the holster, so the outline of the gun is broken up.<\/p>\n Whichever holster you choose, practice with it! Practice practice practice!<\/p>\n HOLSTER LINKS:<\/p>\n DeSantis Holsters<\/a><\/p>\n Pocket Concealment Systems<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>I have had a selection of their holsters for years, and they do exactly what Michael says they\u2019ll do. They are beautifully made and one of the few leather holsters I\u2019ve ever used that didn\u2019t require a break-in period. I currently carry my .380 Colt in a PCS rig.<\/p>\n
