I asked the wrong question before. Wouldn't a proper pocket holster that covers the trigger be safer with less points of failure during carry and use?

I live in the state of Georgia, USA. My instructor told me that all concealed carry pistols MUST be in a holster, whether in your pocket or a purse. I bought those, but I don't use them. I would check the laws in your state. Hope this is helpful.

Yes but because this gun has no safety it keeps you from accedently pulling the trigger when unholstering the gun. I feel safer.

The question isn't one or the other. As you are pulling your pistol out the pocket holster the trigger stay will keep the trigger from accidentally being pulled. Once the pistol is in your hand the trigger stay is easily pushed to the side with your trigger finger.

I keep a ruger LCP in there and it's pretty tight without much wiggle room. Even a slim frame 9mm might be too big. The picture here is deceiving the holster only fits the LCP up to the trigger guard.

Think about having the holster in your pocket..... You want to be able to get a grip on the gun to draw or pull it out of your pocket. If you are left handed, you will want the left holster...

The safety will be easily disengaged, but not re-engaged. Arthritic hands here, so the optimum is to cut a notch under the safety that follows the path of the lever. Just remove a little at a time until it's just right for you. If your hands work great and you have a strong thumb, it may be just fine the way it is. This is a great holster, solid, tight fitting, easily removed from the back pocket. And as others have said, it adds a bit more to hold on to.

I would say no because the holster is just enough room for the weapon. However, I can't say conclusively since I've never tried it.

Unless you pistol is an ultra-compact pocket pistol, there could be an issue. It might fit, but it could be such a tight fit that it would be hard to draw the pistol out quickly. Also, does the bag have a soft sleeve for the pistol? If not, you may want to use a pocket type holster to keep your gun secure, protect the trigger and keep out dust and dirt. The pocket holster will require a larger space in the bag. As for sizing, you can either go to a shop and try some carriers, or compare the dimensions of their pistol to the dimensions in the catalog. That said, a larger size bag will probably hold most compact pistols. Finally, don't start out wit a real expensive bag -- if the gun doesn't fit, you may be stuck with it. Try some less expensive ones first.

No. This is my only criticism of this very fine product. I recommend a small, inconspicuous cover for carrying a 10 or 12 round spare in your offhand pocket. (Mine is a small black cover that came with a cell-phone I used to own.) Spare, pocket-size, magazine covers are also available through Glock.

Yea the number 2 holsters I believe are the smallest ones you could find so they might be a bit big but I would check around as there are some small pocket guns about this size.

There is a tiny bit of reinforcement, but it's just an extra strip of leather. If you are looking for a holster that holds itself open then this is not the one you want. As soon as you draw your firearm, if you do not pull the holster out with the firearm then it will close.

To be honest, never heard of the AOW issue. I did go to the ATF website and look at their examples. They did have something similar called a wallet gun, but that example showed the firearm being completely hidden. In this holster, the entire slide is exposed. It looks like a wallet while in your pocket, but its obvious that there's a gun in it if it is just out in open.

Yes it covers the trigger. Good and grippy pocket holster. Good for the price as well.

I have the LCP380 also. Have had the holster about a year I think. Remember, the entire gun & holster assembly is surrounded by the pocket. If anything, I'd worry about getting the gun out quick enough. Most often, I carry it in the front pocket. When I walk at night I have my hand in my pocket and ON the gun. This serves as a kind of "Quick-Response" position because I lift the gun slightly out of its full rest position in the holster. It's hard to explain. Anyway, overall, I am pleased with this holster.

I was planning to purchase a plastic trigger guard. When using the clip I did not chamber a round for safety. I have actually switched to a pocket holster that is an easier draw for me. The clip in my opinion is difficult to draw sometimes requiring my hand or fingers to be in front of the barrel (pushing up on the firearm) to draw depending on my attire. The concept of the clip is good, but after using it a while the safety issue out weighs its use for me so I removed it.

This is not a concealment holster. The only way to use this holster is to have a large cover garment. I've used it in teaching my Personal Protection Outside the Home courses via the NRA. I'd strongly suggest an IWB holster like a Galco King-Tuk or DeSanties Intruder (these are Kydex holsters).

Some holsters don't have clips that go over the belt and use Velcro to secure the holster. I have never used it but I assume its for a situation when the clips over your belt may be a dead giveaway that you are carrying concealed... hope this helps...

I never carried it that way but I wouldn't think it would print unless your pants are so tight you couldn't draw from your pocket. This holster is a keeper though since the shorter clip allows inside the waist carry so low that the butt of say a Khar or Ruger LCP is hidden in your waist line.

The holster is snug as it is outside the belt. Never had an issue with it. Sure, wearing it inside the belt would make it tighter, but could hinder the draw.
