Some people think the pocket nines are too big for Pocket Carry. See if you can see mine in regular old Levi's and identify it as a handgun

Looks nice, but a Desantis is lighter, and less bulky..................and personally, I don't care if I print;)

I have the Desantis with sweat shield as well. The Braids is a 1/8 inch leather.
LIghter and much thinner than the deasantis with sweat shield. Addded bonus is great retention
I only use it for IWB use now with out the sweat shield or in jackets.

I have the Desantis Fly too and like it and I have a Kydex Alabama pocket holster on the way. A man can't have too many holsters.
I do NOT want to print so I like the idea of this nice square holster.

As do I see the pics I posted. The ones in the photo have the detachable shield in place. IMO the PM 9 for myself is too tall for back pocket carry; at lest in most pants
Just ' bout the action Boss...

Mine arrived yesterday. It's breaking in nicely and loosening up. So far I like this in my front right pocket. No print whatsoever and square so it looks like a wallet in my pocket. It's too early to say but so far I like this better than my Desantis Fly with the shield.

Pocket guns don't print when you're standing. They print when you sit bend stoop or squat. Frankly, I don't give a squat if my gun does print. It's staying in my pocket until it's needed.

Very nice pocket holster. Very similar to www.pocketholsters.com (http://www.pocketholsters.com) which was the first one I purchased for my PM40. I don't like a pocket holster to print either. But to each his own.
As for carrying a PM in the pocket, I must say "for me" they are a little heavy and bulky. I'd much rather carry a .380 in my pocket these days. I carry the PM40 IWB and the .380 pocket. I did an experiment and found that anything over 14 oz is too much weight and adding the bulk of the PM40, it becomes uncomfortable for me. I can carry the PM in the pocket, but it is more comfortable in the Remora IWB carry. Again, that's just me.

I pretty much agree. Twenty ounces loaded is my max. I can get away with it in jeans, but no way in business attire that is much more form fitting
It still does not look like a gun, but it looks like a big lump. Not really attractive or professional.
That's where the little 380s shine they disappear.
.380's are more comfortable, but a 9 is more comforting.
I've not seen too many people staring at my crotch area either....print or not.

I occasionally carry a P238 .380 in a DeSantis pocket holster. With some nasty SD rounds I'm sure it would ruin someone's day. But mostly its a CW45 in the small of my back. Not the best place to carry but very comfortable.

Back pocket carried for 7 hours today with the Braids. Worked well. I was surprised how comfortable it was.
