Gun Control & RKBA

I normally wear cargo shorts and a t-shirt. I do know a couple businessmen who use a belt holster under their suit jacket and a guy who always wears medical scrubs but has no training in the medical field.

The advantage of pocket carry is you can put your hand in your pocket on your handgun if something looks suspicious and not appear as threatening as you would with your hand on a handgun in a belt holster.

The drawback is that you are limited to smaller light weight handguns which often means either a “mouse gun” or something like a S&W .357 Magnum snub nosed revolver which has a nasty recoil. I usually carry a S&W Model 642 .38+P which is a compromise. Smaller larger caliber revolvers are usually no fun to practice with.

I would like to carry my S&W Model 60 3” .357 Magnum revolver but it is simply too large and heavy for pocket carry. I do carry it on rare cold days in the winter in a belt holster under a jacket.
