I'm a slim guy so about half of the pants I own have pockets from which I can't draw easily. All of my blue jeans are a no-go because blue jeans pockets are cut so that drawing from them is tough, and I have one or two pairs of khakis that are too tight in the pockets for my hand to clear quickly with a gun in it. Not only that but you lose oh-so-precious pocket real estate (like you mentioned), and it's hard to draw from a pocket while running or seated. Put all this together and it's a solution that I only use if I'm wearing a shirt that absolutely won't conceal the butt of a gun, or if I'm running out the door and just need something to stuff in a coat pocket.I will say this for pocket carry, however: it's nice to be able to walk around halfway through your draw without anyone knowing. I can draw from my appendix holster way faster than from my pocket if my hands start at my sides, but if my hands are in my pockets already it's a different story.Gmyers09, I have a Comp-Tac 2 O'clock for my snub revolver and it's fantastic for me; I can conceal the gun under almost anything. If you have a body type that will let you appendix carry (i.e. you don't have a huge gut that would get jabbed by the gun all day) I would recommend it. I also have a Comp-Tac CTAC for another gun and I imagine that a J-frame would ride in that just fine.If you do decide to pocket carry, make sure you get a good pocket holster. I like my DeSantis Nemesis. They're like $20 too, so there's no reason not to get one just in case you need to "stow and go."</blockquote>
