My every day carry gun in a small, inexpensive .25 automatic that I keep in a soft armor holster, with 3 extra magazines in my other pocket.
It is a very small gun, obviously, but it is nearly impossible to pull out of my pocket when sitting down (Such as driving) or under some other circumstances.
If I didn't have it in the holster, it would be much easier to pull out.
Currently I am looking at a Kahr PM9 micro pistol.
I keep my carry pistol in my front right pocket, pistol facing the pocket, and my cell phone against my leg. Nothing else goes in the pocket.
On my left hand pocket, go my keys, my leatherman, change, and sometimes even my wallet if I have a hole in my back pocket, and also, the 3 spare magazines.
I work on a ranch, and feeding the horses often fills both my front pockets with alfalfa residue, which gets everywhere. If I cleaned the magazines out daily, it might be enough. The pistol is wrapped in the holster, which helps. But the holster utterly prevents me from bringing the pistol out in any sort of speed- and when it is out, then I have to remove the gun from the holster. Sometimes I cannot even pull the pistol out of my pocket while standing without a great deal of difficulty.
Currently I am also a handyman, which means I am frequently crawling around on my back, on my belly, on my side, bending over, moving around in virtually every position. I do automotive work, too, which can mean I am laying on my back with my legs up, so that sometimes the contents of my pockets will fall down onto the ground. Fortunately, nobody here in Prescott bats an eye when they see me pull out the contents of one pocket, and they see the magazines there. One clerk even asked me what caliber it was.
Looking at this new every day carry Kahr, I am worried about hay residue, dust and dirt entering the handgun. I plan on carrying two or more extra magazines for the gun. I do not want to carry the gun IWB or OWB, although sometimes it might be warranted.
I see these small holsters that go in the pocket and I cringe. How does the pistol stay in one position? The larger pistol I have stays roughly in the same position due to it's thickness in the holster. How does one grab the pistol out and not grab a handful of holster?
And what about the magazines? The mags I have are often filled with hay particles as I feed the horses every day. The witness holes are good, but I can see all sorts of debris entering in through them, and the top of the magazine as well. I know there are magazine carriers, but is there such a thing as a magazine protector for the pocket?
