In Las Vegas, its shorts weather 8 months out of the year. And wearing my shorts, the J frame concealed very nicely when dropped in a front pocket.
Well last week it finally hit 'pants' weather, and I tossed on my Levi 514's - and found my J frame printed to an absurd degree. It was like Han Solo in the carbonite level of definition; tossed into the pocket without a holster a gun guy would be able to ID that I had an XS big dot instead of a ramp front sight. That level of printing.
I just purchased a pair of Levi 505's - 'relaxed fit' - and they print less then 514's, but theres still a distinctly gun shaped crescent formed by the grip. Still not great.
So, can anyone here suggest a brand / style of pants thats more amenable to pocket carry? They don't have to be jeans, they just cant be external cargo pocketed pants.
