The Airweights are light enough the muzzle not near so bad on pocket liners, holster mainly only needed to cut down on dust bunnies if desired, keep oriented if needed, and protect gun against other junk if needed. Used to carry one all the time as back-up to the 1911, but it got to where aging eyes wouldn't let me shoot one with any accuracy. Ended up getting a blockier sighted G43, its fully loaded weight is the same as an empty steel snubbie, but the whole thing so blocky fat end to end as for comfort and concealment that the only pocket carry it sees is a parka in really cold weather and ended up otherwise living in car 24/7, and blockier IWB than a 1911. Hard to beat a snubbie to this day for an effective pocket pistol, or a Spyderco for reliable one-hander.

I pocket carry a Glock 43X off duty. It's easier to do when your Sasquatch.

Even I can do so, it just so much bulkier in front than a snubbie, and so doesn't sit as deep, and ditto for bulk on pocket holster on a snubbie. But the 43 series is about the best of the type, and why mine is still here. I still remember when Glock brought out first (before the 9mm) the compact .45, and gun writer Jan Libourel enthusiastically endorsed that thing for pocket carry, where even other gunwriters scoffed in print, and from where I lifted that, "Is that a loaf of bread in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?" zinger.

I have pocket carried a Glock 19 before, but that was a helluva stretch.

A fellow flatfoot, friend of mine and member here, carries a Glock 26 in the pocket, all day, every day. I could, but the G26 is just a little chunky IMO.
Yep, I even managed my G17 in pocket from time to time...the amazing thing, and really only amazing thing, about Glocks is just how light the full sized guns can be, a fully loaded G17 about the same weight as an empty pencil barrel M-10, which I also pocket carried from time to time. And yeah, bought the G30 but sold it and got the 43 as soon as it came out...

Pretty ordinary day - back to the Garmin watch, wallet is just a basic canvas deal, pen, meds, Gerber multi tool , G29 in an IWB holster and extra mag in the little 5th pocket most jeans have and a Dynamis Alliance money belt

for those not familiar with dynamics’s stuff

There’s just a couple of small pouches (3 actually) on the back that can fit up to eight rolled up bills of whatever denomination you choose and a spare house key
