I have been carrying a Glock in my front left pocket for 22 years. It's a .40 and its served well. But it's heavy and a little too big in my opinion for 90% of the folks. I am a big guy and can stand the constant weight and my pockets are large enough. But if I had to buy again today I would go for something in .380 or 9mm, and the Kahr would be the first gun I would try to buy.
It has more than proven itself in reliability, toughness, accuracy, and it is the smallest, lightest, most controllable of all the pocket guns out today.
before the Glock I carried a COLT double eagle officers model in .45 with a 3.5" barrel. It was a bear to shoot, and weighed slightly less than a boat anchor. I then carried a Colt Mustang .380 for a few years and then got the glock. I go armed everywhere I go, and have all my adult life. So I know a little bit about everyday carry. To me pocket carry is the only way to carry everday comfortably. The inside the waist, outside the waist, leg or ankle holsters all rub, tug, and chaff MUCH more and you get "made" as carrying.
I have never been "made" as carrying when it was in my pocket. I have a pocket holster made by a friend that completely covers the outline of the gun. It has a built in sheath for a small fixed blade knife which I always carry with the gun. And when someone says hey what's in your pocket? I whip out the knife and tell them that the sheath is what they are seeing.
But out I have only had one or two occasions on which that has happened.
Now ow there is also a secondary issue which you must think of as well. What about those places where it's posted guns not allowed? I decided some time ago that I will not go into such places, because as I said I don't go anywhere unarmed. So that limits me from going certain places. Like Museams, aquariums, zoos, public libraries, etc...
just something to think about.
