You guys brightened my morning -- still chuckling!
“Moose knuckle carry”
Working diligently to enlarge my group size.
To many years of squatting and deadlifting precludes me from pocket carry even in my cargo shorts.
I just realized ive got 4 reloads right now.
My normal compll in my front right pocket, speed strip in my back left and 2 speed strips in my shoulder holster.
Yep fashion aspect is real trade off.
One of my best buddies is a body builder and isn't willing to wear lose enough clothes to conceal even J frame so he settled on a small 380. But in his job he has to present certain type of appearance even though he is business owner.
For me my health issues & injuries preclude concealment belt holsters (trigger crippling spams) but I wanted something better than j frame so vast majority of the time I wear pants with enough room in the thighs & big enough pocket to pocket carry pair of G26's with the 12 round mags & just don't care about how I look.
With some pants I have to go down to the flush 10 round mags because pocket opening is to small for smooth draw with the 12 rounders, but the 12 rounders give me a full grip with significant improvement in control. Especially for one handed shooting, two handed shooting can make up for lot of problems with gun grip fit IME.
My round butt model 36 no-dash is long retired from carry duty but I picked up a set of Sile stocks to play with. So it's stuffed in a barely serviceable Galco Stow-N-Go leather AIWB gunsock to check concealability, comfort, and consistency of draw as I pad around the house. Though the LCR in my pocket is what I'm reaching for if Lumerian cultists kick in the door.
This pattern has a reputation for lack of speedloader clearance. Despite that, they work better with my Ammo Pod and fine with an HKS.
