J frame pocket holster

Hey guys, interesting thread. Pocket carr has always been near and dear to my heart.
I built my first pocket holster as a young police officer over 30 years ago. It didn't take me long to figuire out that pocket carrying a J-frame revolver with over sized grips didn't work out real well in tight fitting jeans. Now at 290 something pounds, tight fitting jeans still don't work out well for me. Among all the custom holsters I build, I still build quite a few pocket holsters. The key to pocket carry is the right sized pockets and cut of trousers. I've learned to select my trousers by the size of the pockets. Myself, I prefer relaxed fit Wranglers, Levis and pleated dockers type trousers. I 'm still a police officer and still pocket carry a J Frame day in and day out.

I carry a 442 in a Desantis, but you have to have loose fitting jeans with deep pockets. I have a few pair of Arizona boot cut jeans from JC Penny. I know they won't fit everyone, but they work for me. Pocket carry also works in my shorts. The key is deep pockets.
