Pocket holsters, are they necessary?
The answer to all of your CCW questions should be “does it work for you?” Some people can carry full size Beretta 92FS in their pockets and if you think I’m joking I’m not. People forget that just as our pants sizes are different, so are the dimensions of the pockets of various types of tactical clothing. I’ve known a few people that have carried things like Desert Eagle 44 magnums as CCW guns, but one was legit and the other was a nut case. One of the guys that carried that gun was also in a gun accident that ended up on the local news because he was showing it to someone outside of a bar and ended up shooting himself in the leg.
Pocket holsters are really pocket protectors. Most pocket guns will point down even if they move around in a pocket, but not always. Don Hume holsters are very good in the pocket gun arena. They will keep your gun in place and help keep pocket lint off of the mechanical parts. I still have to wipe off my guns every month even if I don’t shoot them and in the summer they get cleaned once a month due to the potential sweat build up.
