Have been carrying a S & W 442 .38 Spl. in my front pocket for several years.......relaxed fit / baggy-ish jeans and folks can't even tell it's there.

I pocket carry a lot during summer months. I long ago let my 442 take residence in my wife's bedside table. Not because of capacity although a reload for a j frame is a little slow. I carry 1911s so my standard pocket carry is my P365 manual safety. For some time now when I go to the country or fishing I have pocket carried a kahr 45. First was a cw45 but later a PM45. Both fit well in the pocket except for tight jeans and I'm well past that. Got rid of the cw because the trigger was much nicer on the PM45. The PM45 is a little smaller and much more accurate than the CW. I'm comfortable with 6 rounds of 45 ACP.in a pocket with an extra 6 rd mag. Actually I have it up for sale since the P365 would do the same job. But, evertime I get it out of the safe I think I'll just keep it. If you see me in my boat it will be in my shorts pocket. I'm comfortable with the capacity and ITS A .45

I tried to like revolvers, but I just couldn’t do it. The only ones I kept before the obligatory boat accident were the Night Guard models, which pointed way more naturally for me than any other revolver I had. The N frame models were a bit large for pocket carry, though ;)

Occasionally. I have a S&W 637 PC w/Crimson Trace grips. Taking my mile walk in the neighborhood I often slip it in my pocket.

To add ... Along with the occasional carry of my 637, I also carry a Remington RM380 or (sometime and) a SIG P225A1 that Robert Burket worked his magic on.
