Anybody pocket carry daily ? What gun and why ?

I pocket carry a S&W Bodyguard in a holster I made a few years ago. Prints as a square in your pocket and when you pull it out the holster part pulls away from the square front piece so you can get a good grip on the pistol. Little tab at the bottom keeps it in your pocket when pulling up.

My “always” gun is a KelTec P32 in a DeSantis Nemesis holster. Hides nicely in a front pocket.
Cooler weather coming means one (or two) of my snubbie J-frames in a jacket pocket.

Holster dates to the days before Georgia Carry Dot Org succeeded in modifying our state's laws to get rid of the "holster requirement."

But I still like a pocket holster to keep the motion of the gun's muzzle from wearing out my pocket lining.

I do not use a pocket holster out of concern that the gun could go off if something touches the trigger.
This guns got something like a 7 pound, long, double action only, trigger pull.
 
I pocket carried an LCP II when deep concealment was needed and as a pack up. Carried it with underwood ammo xtreme defenders as i dont trust 380 hollowpoints.
 
... Otherwise I want 9mm and I want it on my belt. .. I'm much faster out of my holster...


Yeah, I should mention that although I've been using various pocket holsters on .32, .380, and .38 spl. handguns for decades ,

including some very well-made professional leather pocket holsters that cost $80,

I have never found them to be as good (fast, secure, no fumbling) to draw from as compared to a waist holster.

Like my choice in firearm (not very powerful, nor accurate, limited ammo capacity), a pocket holster is my compromise between deadliness and convenience. My use of a pocket holster reflects the same mindset-- I am willing to give up some speed and smoothness on the draw in order to get comfort convenience and very deep concealability that nobody notices.
