The DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster has worked best for me. I will not use anything else for pocket carry.
My work pants are square, and that's what I really need to tailor to. If the ones I have won't work with pocket carry without printing I'll go and try different styles to see what does the least.

I recommend the Kramer pocket holster and do so without any reservations at all.
I frequently wear the Dickies work pants and pocket carry a KT P3AT in an Uncle Mike's Size 1. The only issue I have is that the pockets are a little shallow. So far I have never been "made" even with the shallow pockets, but still wish they were a little deeper.

I have a 442 and I wear black dress pants to work every day. I carry it in a Desantis Nemesis holster. You can't even tell I have a gun on me. It has a lightning fast draw as well. :supergrin:

Plus 1 for the lightning fast draw.

I have a Mikas and a Uncle Mikes. The Desantis Nemesis is in my pocket right now. It's the best I've seen.

The DeSantis Nemesis has always worked for me. Recently purchased their "SuperFly", which works even better!
Sticky material absolutely keeps it in the pocket, can be used with the square panel (velcro'd on) to appear as a wallet, or without panel....looks exactly like the Nemesis.

This is my favorite.
Uncle Mike's #3pocket hoster. Carry a S&W M60 2" like this every day.

Okay so the Desantis isn't working for the fact that it is too wide for the pocket. If you put just the 442 into the front pocket it goes much deeper than if in the holster. I'm thinking something that was shaped more like an upside-down triangle would work better. It cannot be moulded though as I need to break up the profile of the revolver. I'll try and get pics later.

Another :thumbsup:for the Nemisis or the Mika, I have both and use them often for my 642.
Sorry I didn't notice your comment on the Nemesis.

Mika's holster is what I am using now. It has always performed very well. No complaints here. This guy is also easy to deal with and he wants you to be completely satisfied with his product. Check him out!

What is the exact name of the Dickies pants you guys use for pocket carry? I currently use Columbia Cliff Lake II shorts for my rare to occasional pocket carrying needs because the pockets are DEEP. I desire the same length in the pants I want to acquire.
(or any other pants brand recommendations would be great)
They are the Dickies non-pleated with the extra right hand pocket in the back of them. I just ordered a Mika's holster, from the looks of it, it seems to be what I'll need. If not then I'll have to go pants shopping.
