I'm going next week to a Concealed Handgun Carry class so I can qualify to get my CHP. I currently have a Browning Buckmark .22 as well as a Bauer .25 auto my mom gave me and I plan to carry the Bauer in a pocket holster until I purchase something more powerful.
I'd prefer to pocket carry the pistol because it would be a bit more convenient (at least for me) and I think I would carry it more often. Also there's the fact that my wife isn't very happy with the idea of me concealed carrying (she's not too fond of guns and we have an 8 year old) and I think having it in my pocket where there's no chance of my son really seeing it would make her happier (not happy, but happier).
Background: 48 yo, 6'2", 190 pounds, will pocket carry in jeans/dockers/shorts, max budget is $450.
I really haven't decided it I want to go with a revolver or a semi so I'm looking for some advice.
I'm looking at other manufacturers as well, but as far as Ruger I've basically got it narrowed down to the following based on reviews, price, size, and caliber:
- LCR
- LCP Custom
- LC380
- LC9s
- SR9c
So which of the following would be the best pants pocket carry option for me?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
