[QUOTE="Quick_Draw_McGraw, post: 797655, member: 3286"] Most of your pocket holsters ( Nemesis for example ) are designed for front pocket carry. So when looking at pocket holsters keep that in mind. They have the beveled edge on the front of the holster to create a more natural line in your pocket to add comfort and to keep it from printing. I don't own an LCP, but I do pocket carry a .38 sometimes. But a lot of the principles are the same. Some things to think about... Front pocket carry with your dominant hand puts your hand in a natural position to draw. Back pocket carry will require you to rotate your wrist to draw. Back pockets are almost always tighter then front pockets. So its going to make it a little bit more complicated to reach it and safely draw your pistol from the holster. You should also consider that it will be a lot more difficult to reholster your gun in a rear pocket. Being able to safely and quickly reholster is an often forgotten requirement for a holster. You don't want a holster solution that will require you to remove the holster for reholstering or worse, require you to fumble around with your gun. Back pockets will tighten up more when you move, which may increase the likelihood of your gun / holster printing through your jeans. You should also consider what is going to be the quickest solution that you can [I]safely [/I]draw from. My two cents is this, buy both the holsters you mentioned, and practice with them both. That being said, I think you will probably wind up on front pocket carry. [/QUOTE]
