How many do not carry in the pocket

[riffraff]

Hello all,

How many on this board actually carry their R9 in a pocket?

There is no way I could do this comfortably myself.  All my pockets are always full of everything else anyway.  The R9 may be refered to as a pocket pistol but I feel this not the best place for the R9 or any pistol IMO.

I carry mine in an ankle holster or tucked in the belt/pants.  I can carry tucked in the pants/belt with no holster easily.  The R9 is not to big and not to small and just the right weight that it will actually stay there and does not pinch or bind or grate my skin.  I feel that the R9 is more of a "belly gun" than a pocket pistol.

So where do you carry yours?

I carry mine in my right front pocket.  It is usually my backup to my Kimber Stainless Ultra Carry. Although recently......it has been my only carry pistol.

Take care, Mike Arnold

I carry the Rohrbaugh the same as my Seecamp and KelTecs. Right front pocket.


Best regards.

Jacket pocket, IWB, or belly bag if I am bicycling.

Right front or right back pocket, depending on mode of dress, with cased spare magazine in left back pocket. Wallet in left vest pocket of suit jacket or left cargo pocket of BDUs. Nothing else (folder, keys, cellular telephone, change, etc.) carried in a pocket with any of above items.

I carry mine in a holster on the hip in the cooler months when a jacket or baggy sweatshirt are worn, otherwise, its in my back pocket behind a wallet to break-up the printing. Ive found with a finger extension floorplate the protrusion lip helps to keep it oriented in the best position for as fast a draw as can be expected from backpocket carry. In all fairness I bought it for a pocket gun so thats usually were I carry it without a holster. Generaly in the cooler months Im goin with a little more oomph in the firearm dept. BUT- sometimes I carry the pup as a back up to the backup.

Do you pocket carry guys take it out of your pocket when you are sitting in a vehicle?

Mine is in a pocket holster, right front cargo pants pocket about 90% of the time.  When sitting (particularly in a car) I'll shift the gun&holster up some so that the butt is just accessible but still invisible.

I always have the R9 with me.  Sometime solo, sometimes as a backup to a larger 9mm.  Spare mag loose in left front cargo pocket, usually by itself.

I have learned to shift things around and condense what I carry in pockets to free up a pocket for a pistol.  Right front if a primary, left front if a backup.  I always use a pocket holster that breaks up the outline, and that covers the trigger.

Occasionally the backup will go on my ankle if the primary is in my pocket.

I would not carry without a well-fitted holster.  Stuck in a waistband or belt is a good way to have the gun fall out.

When I do carry on my belt or IWB, I'd rather carry a Glock or 1911.

I dont take mine out of the pocket when in a vehicle. I find no need to do so when sitting either. Maybe im numb back thier   but never had any discomphort

I am going to try a neck carry.Ron Graham is making me a neck holster for mine.Hopefully soon I will be getting it.

I now carry it in the pocket as a backup to one of my Wilson Combat pistols or a Gary Reeder Custom One * .45.

Ron Graham has a new carry device that can actually work for several small pistols. You would need to change the inner holster as you would change each pistol.

There is also a video of it in use.
