Pocket Carry Holster Questions

[Mr_Frankl]

I have one that I bought from a member here a while back. It is the only pocket holster I have for my 442 at this point. It does an OK job of concealing the gun in my pocket but I think another holster would conceal better for me, I just haven’t carried the gun enough to purchase another holster for it yet. There are some wear spots on the gun from the holster, they don’t bother me much but they may bother some. Overall I would say it’s worth a try for the price. If you have any specific questions I would be happy to try to answer them.

How's the retention on the backbone? I read up thread that the regular aholster has virtually no retention, Im assuming it's the same for the backbone?

The level of retention in a standard Aholster is ideal for a pocket holster. The ideal retention for a pocket holster will always be less than for a belt holster, since the holster is not anchored to a belt, and you need to be able to easily separate the gun from the holster.

For me, the backbone still prints quite badly even in relaxed cut cargo pants front pocket.

I hope it prints less than the standard. I have debated ordering one for a long time. I finally placed my order. I normally carry my j frame in a Mika or a kydex holster I can't recall the maker ( I believe Mike Benedict which I think is talon tactical). My biggest issue is even with uncle mike boots it looks like I carrying a banana in my pocket.
