[QUOTE="Singularis, post: 2933553, member: 32412"] So you have a pistol in one front pocket and a mag carrier in the other... where do you put all your other stuff like wallet, keys, pen, change, phone, etc.? Cool that it works for you, but it wouldn't for me. I carry too much stuff in front pockets. When I do pocket carry with a subcompact, I just put the spare mag in my back left pocket, bullet tips down and to the left. It rarely ever moves from this configuration, and part of my reload manual of arms is using my index finger to feel for the bullet tip, so if it's facing the wrong way I can quickly flip it as I'm drawing it out. Lint isn't a big problem since nothing else ever goes in that pocket... I would tend to think it would be worse in a front pocket, even in a pouch. I know my pocket gun accumulates plenty even in it's Super Fly. Which brings up another point... you do regularly inspect your carry gun/mag and clean them if necessary, right? I've seen a lot of nasty-ass rusty, lint-y, dirty carry guns. When I'm in normal street clothes I carry a full size double stack, and like the mag carrier the Glock store sells for my spare, worn IWB. [/QUOTE]
