@@RonSaywer I had the LCP Max as my pocket carry before the S&W Bodyguard 2.0 came out. I find the Bodyguard has a better trigger, ergonomics, is more accurate, less recoil etc. I sold my LCP Max.
I’m insecure in mine. That’s why I throw a Barrett 50. Cal in the back of my 2024 Ford F-350 King Ranch Dually with a 10 inch lift kit. I need others to know that I’m Daddy when I pull up. Jk 😂😂😂
You are the man SPN. Watched you come up from 10-20k to where you are now. Also g26 is my main go to year round and I have plenty of options. Can’t beat perfection.
Still digging my KelTec P32 I picked up a few months ago. Sure, it’s an older pistol, but it’s new to me. I’m 5’10/160lbs and it doesn’t print at all! Take care SPN👍🏻
Yah those are awesome pistols, when I was 19 it was the first pistol I bought got it used for 100 bucks & a box of ammo. I ended up using it in a self defense against a coyote with rabies
@@itsmightydusty1996 Right on! I happened to pick up a new one at a gun show several months ago. I was impressed how light it is! So far, no issues after 500ish rounds.👍🏻
@ChrisfromGeorgia heck yeah I don't think I've ever had a malfunction in mine, I probs have around 2k through mine haven't shot it lately but makes a perfect back up gun or just toss in your pocket. Lightest gun I own
The LCP Max, you carry or the S&W bodyguard 2.0, beats the 9 mm Glock or SA Hellcat left at home in the gun safe. Pocket carry is also more convenient. It prevent sagging pants and uncomfortable kydex rubbing all day against your side. In addition, it has the advantage of being undetectable, short of a metal detector. In my opinion, outside of prohibited places, it goes everywhere and is the polite gentleman’s gun. Great for the anti-gunners in our lives, as they will not know we are armed. This of course, prevents the uncomfortable conversations and drama/tension.
I never understood this. Simply wear the belt on the inside of your waistline. That’s what I do as a 175lb 5’10 male with a g19 and tlr7a in a tier 1 sidecar holster.
Putting on a belt everytime you leave the house or go outside isn’t practical and it’s not as comfortable a gun in your pocket and you won’t notice a difference from a wallet or phone
My local park has a bunch of tweakers with knives,hatchets and a nice needle disposal bin. So I usually carry something more powerful but pocket 380s seem so nice
Ditch the holster or carry a revolver s&w 442 for the pocket is very nice in shorts or at the park. I carry a 1911 or my m&p 9c most of the time but if I’m going somewhere nice and wearing slacks or going to the office/gym I throw my 442 in my pocket and roll. But that’s impressive with the round count you have to.
Wearing running/basketball shorts I carry a Glock 30S in a Fobus OWB holster. With the paddle directly on my skin under the waistband of my chonis and my shirt over it. I can include a Fobus dual mag holster also.
I think that Alias has a belt system for shorts, and it uses the alias holster retaining clip with it. If (and only if) pant sag on one side gets annoying, I would look into it brother. Otherwise, God bless!
I appendix carry 95% of the time. But at play grounds playing and being active with my kids it doesn’t work out. It shows when your shirt lifts up and some parents and kids hate/are afraid of guns. It’s the best method for being active with them! Respect
When I first got into concealed carry, I tried the appendix carry that was so popular. I learned real quick that with my big body, it digs into my gut very hard. So now I just pocket carry most of the time, especially at work where I need to move and lift packages a lot.
I pocket carry LCP Max all the time in Vedder pocket locker most people don’t know I’m carrying. It prints more in certain pants but I don’t care, it is the most concealable and comfortable option for me. No one walk around staring at your pocket anyway.
That’s weird. That would be really weird for all the people just to stare at my pocket. Only people that stare are you pocket thinking there could be a gun in there, are gun people.
@@spnfirearms bro your basically saying in the vid you can’t see it , which clearly isn’t not true lol. Don’t get all in your feelings when someone comments 👍🏻
My cargo shorts pockets can carry most small pocket guns. Snubbie 38 SPec, LCP, Kahr CM9, even a Bersa 380acp. Bigger gun, better holster. In pocket Uncle Mike's holsters are soft, and no clip or thumb break. Made for discreet carry. (In Pocket Model) . Blackhawk has those also. Actually I get little bigger one to not get too tight in jeans pockets.
I've had BDU pants from multiple makers, all the same size, whose pockets varied quite a bit. One maker's pockets could handle a Colt Commander. Clint Smith is a tall, lanky guy, and he says he can carry a 4" N frame in each front pocket.
Kahr cw9 or Ruger sp101 in pocket holster but thicker shorts with special pockets ( they have an outer pocket smaller than main pocket). Can't even tell...8 of 9mm or 5 of 357 with speed loader.
My wife walks around with our chihuahua strapped to her chest and majority of people never notice him there. Ain’t no one looking down at the pockets….
Yeah until you get in a shootout with someone with a more capable pistol or rifle. They will have an advantage of round count. Effective range, recoil, accuracy, everything basically.
I don’t know where you live, but I live in a nice area. This is my carry taking my kids to playgrounds. Where I live, people don’t have shoutouts at playgrounds. People respect people. They don’t mess with kids. I don’t know where you live, but it sounds miserable. I carry a Glock 26 outside of there and I promise you and I competing on a course wouldn’t even be close.
@spnfirearms awwww you must live in a red state!😂😂😂😂 but us mfers that live in blue states gotta worry about illegals, idiots trying to jugg us when we goto the bank. Now yes I carry small snub nose, but it's a backup😂😂😂
Well sure, I always carry my 'scoped .308 with me when I head to the grocery store. I take it back a notch with the AR-15 when I'm just taking out the garbage. Everyone is free to make their own decisions vis a vis power, controllability and concealment. And like Col. Cooper used to say, you're outgunned only if you miss.
"You ain't manly". Dude I can carry atleast 4 on my, 6 if it's winter. Full size open carry, 43x at appendix, 27 on the ankle and you don't don't want to know where the 380 is at
@@kevinmoore6640 If ordered, and SH rates are leveraged, range 380 can be within pennies of 9mm. Recently the inventories have increased. (Try AmmoSeek) For hotter defensive stuff, some of the UW stuff is near 300ftlbs out of a Cheetah (w/threaded). In reality, its the same as 9mm Speer range ammo out of a Shield Plus! Hard to believe but Ive verified both with a xero1 radar. (Verify with UW that your 380 can handle those loads).
Even better when you tuck in your shirt, so errbudy can see you're not carrying like on all the youtube vids, TV and movies they've seen. Shorts = no ankle holster. Plus you can look like you're just hanging loose with your hand in your pocket, when you actually already have your hand on your gun ready to draw.
You looked because it’s a gun channel. Not one person who doesn’t carry looks at your pocket and assumes it’s a firearm lmao. I take my kids to the park 5 days a week, never one time has anyone ever stared at my pocket
@@spnfirearmswhat about da criminals, they carry and be looking for mfers to stay away from because the bad guys don't wanna fight someone that carrys😂😂? AND IM NOT KNOCKING YOU?
Pocket pistol is the only way I’d ever carry. Have the LCP Max - love it but will upgrade to the Bodyguard 2.0 at the first opportunity because it’s clearly much better.
YPMV - Your Pockets May Vary. I can easily carry a 2 1/2" barreled .357 with adjustable sights in my jeans front pocket, I'm good out to 150 yds or so. I also like my P3AT cuz it fits in the sleeve pocket of my jacket, that's good for more like 150 inches. As another guntoober once said, your face won't know the difference across a pool table.
The gun you are willing to carry always beats the one you leave at home.
IMO printing in a pocket is ok since people expect a man to have stuff in his pocket. Printing at 3:00 is bad because nothing else goes there.
I carry a cell phone there ....
I actually don't but some people do 😅
I’m an old man with a bad back and pocket carrying my S&W Bodyguard 2.0 is the most comfortable option.
