Question of the Day: Pocket Carry?

FMG’s American Handgunner sent me a link to this ancient-by-Internet-standards video of ccwbreakaway pants. The comments have been disabled — probably because some viewers thought the carry system is a stupid idea. Or maybe there were too many d!ck jokes. (“Is that a GLOCK 19 in your pants or are you just happy to see me?”)

Anyway, pocket carry is a thing. Our man’s right about pocket carry affording an early grip on your gun in a potential defensive gun use. Perfect for late-night parking lots!

Pocket carry is a good thing, not a great thing, for one simple reason: most pants pockets won’t accommodate anything larger than a mouse gun. Even if you bought these pants — whose pockets are large enough to holster the front half of the Titanic — a full-size firearm’s weight would be a real drag. And while a mouse gun is a lot better than a sharp stick, a full-size gun is significantly more useful than a mouse gun.

Do you pocket carry? If so, why? What gun, what holster, and what ammo?
