At night, in an open drawer at bedside. Hard on the pants fabric, but completely hidden at all times and at hand when needed. Would like a hammerless version of both weapons though.

I occasionally drop a little .380 in my pocket when I'm in a hurry and going to places I know and around folks I generally trust. Just because of the potential for a sight to get caught in a seam on the way out, I bought a battered soft computer case for $2 at the local goodwill to get the material, and made what resembles half a business envelope to put it into before dropping into my pocket. With a little padding, it doesn't "print", and the trigger is covered as I pocket the pistol. I did leave a little extra fabric around the area of the "envelope" that will encounter the sights, that I fold down in. As I draw the weapon, that fabric smoothly unfolds to cover the edges of the pocket and prevent hangups.
Just a thought.
And, I know I'm no guru. In fact I'm welcoming advice for the following.
Kid sis would take forever to retrieve a weapon from her purse, and because of her shape could never keep a belt in place, especially with a little weight on it. I'm advising her to carry in a jacket pocket, (one that looks like a fishing vest for the summer), with hand on grip. That's the only solution I can think of.
Because of moving parts catching cloth, I'm looking at a hammerless .38, though she yearns for something with a hundred round clip. Yep, rednecks. ;) I'd be glad to hear any better solutions. |
